CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A new Goodwill store is set to open its doors this Thursday with a grand opening celebration featuring local performances and the unveiling of a state-of-the-art career center.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will include live performances from the King High School drum line and the Flour Bluff twirlers, along with giveaways and refreshments for attendees.
While shoppers can expect the traditional deals Goodwill is known for, this location also boasts a new career center designed to help community members find employment.
"Our job connections center is a computer lab filled with the best technology and our best career coaches, who are going to allow you to have one-on-one career training. Whether that's digital skills or career skills, whatever that might be," said Dr. Amanda Garcia, VP of Development for Goodwill Industries of South Texas.
The grand opening begins at 8:30 a.m. Thursday at 4222 South Staples, that's near the Staples and Everhart intersection.
