BRUNSWICK, ME (PRWEB) November 24, 2014 -- Goodwill Industries of Northern New England invites shoppers and donors to the Grand Opening celebration of its new Brunswick store and donation center on Wednesday, November 26. Celebration activities include a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:00 am, door prizes and weekend-long raffle. Customers will also have the opportunity to learn about Goodwill’s programs in Maine that help strengthen our communities and get people back to work.
The new store and donation center is located at 21 Gurnet Road in the Cook’s Corner area of Brunswick. Shoppers and employees will enjoy a new 14,500 square foot building that features a convenient donation drive up and several environmentally-friendly aspects, including an energy-efficient HVAC system, polished concrete floors (which eliminates the need for harsh chemical cleaners), indoor and outdoor LED lights and large windows to reduce electricity use
The new store will feature a wide variety of donated goods – whether one is looking for unique treasures or a fabulous new outfit, the store will feature clothing, jewelry, books, household items and furniture, as well as a limited selection of new items to create a complete shopping experience.
“We are delighted to expand our retail presence in Brunswick,” said Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Northern New England. “Our retail stores are vital in supporting Goodwill’s mission to help people achieve personal stability and community engagement through the dignity of work.”
The new Brunswick Goodwill store will employ nearly 40 full and part time staff. Store and donation center hours are Monday through Saturday 9:00am – 9:00pm and Sunday 9:00am – 7:00pm.
