Goodwill of Central & Northern Arizona is opening the first store in downtown Phoenix on Friday, July 5. Spanning nearly 16,000 square feet, the new store, which is the historic former Firestone Building, is located at 310 W. Van Buren St., at the corner of 3rd Ave. and Van Buren St.
A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 8:45 a.m., and the first 150 people in line outside of the store will receive a $5 gift card for use while shopping at the new location. Additionally, if guests bring a full bag of donations during regular hours of the grand opening weekend, they will also receive a $5 off coupon. Terms and conditions for coupon use can be found at the bottom of the coupon.
“We’re thrilled about the grand opening of this iconic location and the community has been extremely excited as it’s the first store in downtown Phoenix,” said Adam Lewis, Senior Vice President and Chief Retail Officer of GCNA. “We encourage the community to come out, enjoy free coffee and donuts, and help us celebrate this milestone.”
With thousands of new items placed on Goodwill’s sales floor daily, from designer clothing and shoes to furniture and collectibles, GCNA offers unique secondhand items for less. Revenue generated from Goodwill’s retail stores helps to support its mission services including career development, training, and education resources like MyCareerAdvisor.com, education initiatives like The Excel Center adult high school, Hope & Home Family Shelter Program providing housing solutions for Arizona families, and much more.
