Goodwill held a July 14 ribbon-cutting and open house to celebrate the opening of a retail store and donation center at 11722 Quincy Lee Drive off Bandera Road.

Goodwill representatives said the new, 23,000-square-foot building boasts a modern and inviting layout, designed to enhance the shopping experience for customers.

The store will also employ more than 35 local individuals, further contributing to Goodwill's mission of helping change lives through the power of work. Every purchase made at the store goes to support the organization's career programs and services offered at the Good Careers Academy and Good Careers Centers.

“We are delighted to bring a new Goodwill store to the vibrant community of San Antonio,” said Carlos Contreras III, president and CEO of Goodwill San Antonio, in a statement. “Expanding our footprint in the city will allow us to provide more hope and opportunities to community members looking to achieve upward mobility.”

Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
