** CALENDAR ADVISORY **
GOODWILL TO OPEN NEW LAKE NONA STORE ON JULY 23
WHAT: On Thurs., July 23, Goodwill Industries of Central Florida will open a brand-new retail store in Lake Nona. The 25,000-square-foot store is the nonprofit’s third new location to open in 2020 – and it will create 40 new jobs.
The Lake Nona store will incorporate the same safety precautions currently in place at Goodwill’s other locations: plexiglass partitions at registers, one-way aisles and limited capacity. Dressing rooms will be closed, and as a result, the return policy will be extended to 14 days.
Ninety percent of revenue generated by Goodwill’s retail stores directly benefits the nonprofit’s job skills training and employment placement programs. For more than 60 years, Goodwill’s employment specialists have been assisting job seekers with updating resumes, practicing for interviews and applying for job openings in their community. Anyone in need of assistance can email JobConnection@GoodwillCFL.org or call (407) 235-1541.
WHEN: Thurs., July 23, 8:30 a.m.
LOCATION: Goodwill’s Lake Nona Retail Store
12865 Narcoossee Road
Orlando, Fla. 32832
