Goodwill Industries coming to Southeast Cleveland

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the grand opening of Goodwill Industries of Greater Chattanooga's new location in Southeast Cleveland will take place at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, June 25, followed by an official store opening at 9 a.m.

The new location, at 2010 Broomfield Road SE in the former Fresh ‘N Low grocery store, is more than 15,000 square-feet and will feature a Goodwill store, a Donation Xpress  Center, and a dedicated space for a future Goodwill Opportunity Center.

The current Goodwill location in Cleveland, located at 255 Paul Huff Parkway NW, will remain open.

After the opening of the new Cleveland store, the local nonprofit will operate  17  stores and three Goodwill Opportunity Centers in Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia.

Goodwill Opportunity Centers provide career search services and employment-readiness assistance at no charge to the community.

The public is invited to the grand opening event, which will include an appearance by Goodwill’s  Smiling G mascot and giveaways and door prizes throughout the day, as supplies last.

Store  hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Goodwill accepts donations during regular store hours.

Gena Weldon, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area, said, “We’re proud to expand our presence and deepen our commitment to Bradley County."

Recently, Goodwill held an annual award ceremony in conjunction with our first organization-wide One Goodwill event, a day dedicated entirely to investing in the people who make our mission possible. For one day, we closed every Goodwill store, donation site, Opportunity Center, distribution center, and administrative office in the greater Chattanooga area to invest in our people. On that day, our entire Distribution Center team was honored with the Opportunity Accelerator award. This award celebrates innovation that accelerates opportunity and drives meaningful progress for Goodwill and for our community. Over the past year, the Distribution Center has undergone a significant and inspiring transformation, one centered on stronger communication, increased trust, and a more unified team culture. One nominator shared, “The Distribution Center has transformed and grown in amazing ways.” Kai, Goodwill’s Manager of Distribution and Transportation, has a passion for people, communication, and integrity, which has elevated the entire team. One nominator wrote, “Since Kai’s first day in new hire orientation, he has communicated his desire to develop and grow. He cares deeply about his employees, considers their challenges, and goes out of his way to help people find success.” Supporting this transformation is Pan, Director of Operations. Pan is a leader whose commitment to his people has not gone unnoticed. A nomination stated, “Pan is always willing to listen to our problems and do what is necessary to correct them.” “The biggest change I’ve seen with our distribution center team is our cohesiveness,” said Pan. “We work well together.” “Winning the Opportunity Accelerator award was amazing,” said Kai. “I'd be hard-pressed to say I've had a better day professionally. I wasn't only proud of myself; I was proud of our team.”
