Goodwill Manasota relocated its Boutique at 5831 Derek Avenue in Sarasota to 1704 N. Honore Ave. The grand opening for the new location will be held on March 20, 2014 and will feature drawings to win Goodwill gift certificates.
“Our objective in relocating the boutique was to bring it to a location where it could be easier for shoppers to visit from both Sarasota and Manatee Counties, and the Honore retail location had opportunity for expansion," said Bob Rosinsky, president and CEO of Goodwill Manasota. “We're now able to accommodate more shopping in one location,” he said.
Goodwill’s Boutique opened in 2011 and has been a successful retail arm of Goodwill. It has become known for being the place to discover the true meaning of “the thrill of the hunt” to uncover upscale ladies’ apparel, shoes, accessories and more. The chic store offers several upscale brands including Armani, Oscar de la Renta, Coach, Vera Wang, St Johns, and more - you really never know what you’ll find in the racks and on the shelves.
The Goodwill Bookstore that is currently located at 5880 Bee Ridge Rd, Sarasota will move to the former Boutique store location off Clark Road. The new bookstore grand opening is scheduled for May.
All proceeds from the Boutique and the retail stores support Goodwill’s mission of providing career services and job placement and training to the community with a focus on those with disabilities and other barriers to employment.
