Goodwill to break ground on northwest Las Vegas store
Goodwill of Southern Nevada will break ground Thursday on its first northwest Las Vegas thrift store.
The nonprofit, which invests sales from donated items in training and job-search programs for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment, will build a Centennial Hills location on North Durango Drive near Deer Springs Way.
The store and drive-through donation center will have 17,000 square feet of space, 12,000 of it dedicated to the branch’s sales floor.
Dignitaries scheduled to attend the groundbreaking include Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman and City Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Steve Ross. Representatives will also be on hand from companies involved in brokering, financing and building out the site, including CBRE Las Vegas, Milestone Construction, Active Commercial and Brentwood Capital.
The store will create 40 jobs.
Goodwill is in growth mode: The nonprofit announced in April that it plans a 28,000-square-foot store inside the vacant Dillard’s store at the Boulevard Mall on Maryland Parkway. It also opened a store at American Pacific Drive and Stephanie Street in March, and has stores under construction in North Las Vegas and south Las Vegas.
Goodwill helped 2,361 Southern Nevadans get jobs in 2014 through its Career Connections program.
