Goodwill store celebrates internal renovations
Goodwill celebrated the grand re-opening of its Snellville store on Thursday, April 7th, after undergoing internal renovations. The Goodwill team has been working to renovate many of its locations including Northlake, Perimeter, Pleasant Hill, and West End to revamp the shopping, donating, and working experience for everyone who supports the nonprofit.
The Snellville store and donation center, located at 2340 Ronald Reagan Parkway in Snellville, was established in 2014 and has been serving the community ever since. Residents of Snellville and the surrounding areas have had a place to shop and donate their gently used clothes, furniture, books, and technology for some time now.
As of April 6, Goodwill invites guests to shop the newly renovated store, which features fresh paint colors, new wall graphics, flooring, and energy-saving LED lighting. There is also a ‘new goods’ section dedicated to newly packaged goods such as snacks and drinks. This section is constantly changing with new, special-value items.
“We want to amplify the shopping, donating and working experience for everyone,” says Elaine Armstrong, vice president of marketing. “The Northlake store and donation center has been a community favorite for a long time. Now, it’s been revamped and refreshed so that folks can continue donating and shopping, and we can continue serving our jobseekers.”
Last year, Goodwill successfully renovated several other stores, including Cobb Parkway, Covington, Fayetteville, Hickory Flat, Northside, Jonesboro, Douglasville, Conyers, and Powder Springs. On February 16, the nonprofit celebrated the grand re-opening of its oldest retail location in West End and plans to continue refreshing other locations in the coming months.
When you shop at Goodwill, you’re supporting the nonprofit’s mission to Put People to Work. When items are sold in stores or online, those profits are used to fund skills training programs and job placement services. Last year, Goodwill helped over 16,000+ North Georgians secure jobs, with plans to help even more people get a job, a better job, or a career this year. With continued donations and support, that mission stays possible.
