Goodwill of the Finger Lakes cut the ribbon Friday on its relocated Greece thrift store at The Mall at Greece Ridge. The grand opening follows Goodwill’s announcement from earlier this month that it would move its Greece store at 3654 Dewey Avenue to the larger location at 140 Greece Ridge Center Drive. The 34,000-square-foot store occupies the former Ruby-Gordon retail space at the north entrance of the mall, expanding Goodwill’s inventory and improving convenience for shoppers.
“As we often say, Goodwill is so much more than a store,” Goodwill of the Finger Lakes President & CEO Jennifer Lake said. “When you shop with us, you are not only giving donated items a second life but also your fellow neighbors through our many community-based services and impact programs. As we open our doors today, we could not be more pleased to be at the Mall at Greece Ridge and provide an expanded inventory of affordable, high-quality secondhand and new goods to shoppers in our community.”
Goodwill leadership, staff, community officials, and local dignitaries celebrated the grand opening and welcomed shoppers to peruse the store’s assortment of apparel, household items, seasonal merchandise, and new goods.
The Dewey Avenue store, which closed for retail on Feb. 25, will reopen on Friday, March 7 as a donation center, marking Goodwill’s 13th donation collection site in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes region. Dewey Avenue will be accepting donations from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. Goodwill also operates 12 retail stores and serves more than 20 counties across Upstate and Western New York.
