Modern thrift store to continue offering elevated shopping experience at newly remodeled center

FULLERTON, Calif. – December 11, 2018– Goodwill of Orange County announced today its Fullerton store will move to a new location to give customers a revamped and elevated shopping experience. The store, currently located at College Plaza on Chapman Ave., will join popular tenants such as the original Polly’s Pies restaurant, Grocery Outlet, Auto Zone and Planet Fitness at a newly remodeled center on N. Raymond Ave. in February 2019.

The 7,800 square-foot store will showcase Goodwill’s signature selection of gently used items and provide customers with a modern spin on traditional thrift store shopping, including a revamped interior with open wood beam ceilings and a restored original brick wall from Boy’s Market, the family-fun grocery store found in the 1920s that used to occupy the space. Customers can expect one-of-a-kind assortments of clothing for all ages, accessories, home décor, electronics, furniture, appliances, sporting goods, and more.

“We are delighted to give our popular Fullerton store a modern makeover and give our customers a unique and enjoyable shopping experience,” said Nicole Suydam, president and CEO, Goodwill of Orange County. “At this new location, and at each of our stores throughout the county, every purchase will support our transformative programs and services focused on creating brighter futures for individuals facing barriers — shopping with us changes lives!”

More than 92 cents from every dollar spent at Goodwill of Orange County stores and boutiques is reinvested into Goodwill’s programs and services that help people facing challenges to employment, including individuals with disabilities and veterans, find and keep meaningful jobs. Goodwill of Orange County’s mission is to provide opportunities for these individuals so they can find a pathway to independence and pride.

Goodwill of Orange County’s new Fullerton store will be located at 130 N. Raymond Ave., Fullerton, CA 92831, and is slated to open February 2019.

The College Plaza store is planned to close at the end of February 2019. Store employees will be transferred to the new Fullerton store upon closing. Goodwill of Orange County is currently accepting applications for additional positions at the new location. Interested applicants can apply online or by calling (714) 547-6308 ext. 496.
