Goodwill Industries [Construction Update]

What: The MERS-Goodwill store is moving from 507 E. Nifong in the Rock Bridge Shopping Center to a new building at 1405 Grindstone Parkway behind Taco Bueno.
Contractor: Coil Construction Inc.
Status: Work began in March and is expected to be finished by Aug. 31. The store’s opening ceremony will be sometime in September.
Why: “The Goodwill corporation wanted a little more exposure and decided to move forward with a stand-alone building,” said Terry Bruns, the project manager.
The new building, with 15,000 square feet of retail space, is larger than the current location and is at the edge of a shopping center anchored by Walmart. There will be a drive-up center with a canopy where donations can be dropped off during business hours.
“We are excited about the opportunity to move into the Walmart area,” said David Kutchback, the assistant CEO at Goodwill. “It will be a bigger building than our last one, giving us the opportunity to have more items in the store for our customers.”
Goodwill sells donated goods at more than 166 independent, community-based stores in the US and Canada. Goodwill offers job training and jobs to people who have disabilities or face other employment challenges such as lack of education or employment experience.
