Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area opened a new location in Southeast Cleveland on Thursday. The grand opening celebration featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony, an appearance by Goodwill’s Smiling G mascot and giveaways and door prizes. The new location, at 2010 Broomfield Road SE in the former Fresh ‘N Low grocery store, is over 15-thousand square-feet and features a Goodwill store, a Donation Xpress Center and a dedicated space for a future Goodwill Opportunity Center. 
 
The current Goodwill location in Cleveland at 255 Paul Huff Pkwy.

NW, remains open. The local nonprofit now operates 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. 
 
Store hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Goodwill accepts donations during regular store hours.  
 
“The opening of our new Cleveland store and donation center reflects our commitment to Bradley County, creating local jobs and expanding access to vital services like job training and employment support,” said Gena Weldon, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area. “At Goodwill, we see more than donations; we see possibilities. Every item we receive creates opportunities for people to gain skills, find meaningful work and build a stronger future.”
