Goodwill celebrates new West Chester store, donation center

Ohio Valley Goodwill is celebrating today, March 17, the grand opening of its new store and donation center at 7773 Cincinnati-Dayton Road.

The celebration includes free doughnuts and coffee in the morning and pizza in the afternoon. In addition, there will be a drawing for a $10 gift certificate every 30 minutes to be used on purchase at a later date.

Ohio Valley Goodwill Industries purchased the 12,300-square-foot building last April for $705,000.

The building started out as a donation location last June, but did not have a formal opening, according to George Palmer, director of public relations and marketing for Ohio Valley Goodwill Industries.

Today’s grand opening introduces the location as both a donation location and a store, Palmer said. The combined store and donation facility employs nine people, he said.

Goodwill will retain its drop-off donation center at the southwest corner of Cox and Tylersville roads, he said.
