Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest will open our first-ever hybrid retail thrift store and Outlet store campus near Airway Heights on May 8. The celebration kicks off with private tours for community partners at 8:00 AM. The ribbon-cutting starts at 8:45 AM. Doors will open at 9:00 AM.
The 60,000-square foot building houses a Goodwill store, Goodwill outlet, warehouse space, salvage operations, 15 loading bays, and offices.
The campus will employe 70 people and create 23 new jobs. The facility was designed by Bernardo Wills Architects. Construction was completed and managed by Baker Construction and Development.
Goodwill has been looking for property in the growing Airway Heights area for several years. The 6.2-acre Flight Drive property was purchased in July 2021.
“Our retail stores are the primary source of support for our local Goodwill programs,” said Clark Brekke, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest. “We are excited for the opportunity to bring more support to our Goodwill programs with the addition of this new facility.”
This is a new location for the Goodwill Outlet, which will move from its current location at 1406 E. Front Avenue. The last day of operation at Front Avenue is May 6, 2023. Goodwill opened the Outlet on Front Avenue in 2013.
