Listen to this articleGoodwill of the Finger Lakes recently cut the ribbon at 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 Ave. to the larger location at 140 Greece Ridge Center Dr.
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.
Goodwill leadership, staff, community officials and local dignitaries celebrated the grand opening and welcomed shoppers.
“As we often say, Goodwill is so much more than a store,” said Jennifer Lake, Goodwill of the Finger Lakes president and CEO. “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.”
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.
