Goodwill of Orange County ‘s Newly Renovated Flagship Santa Ana Store
Goodwill of Orange County just reopened its newly refreshed and modernized flagship store in Santa Ana. A celebration was held to commemorate the reopening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a mariachi band playing live music, gift card giveaways to the line of guests awaiting the opening, and more.
The 24,000-square-foot store is part of the organization’s main campus and it's the most visited and highest-volume thrift store located in the county. Goodwill anticipates a 10% increase in both sales and traffic because of the extensive renovation.
The store refresh includes all-new fitting rooms, fresh paint, a revamped front entrance, and a relocated cash wrap featuring Goodwill’s signature reclaimed wood backdrop. Construction kicked off in July and finished earlier this month.
This store originally opened back in the 1970s and has not been updated since a footprint expansion back in 2008. Goodwill invested in the remodel to elevate its main campus flagship location to the modern and engaging thrift shopping experience seen throughout its 23 stores across Orange County.
Customers will find an elevated shopping experience and a one-of-a-kind assortment of thousands of donated goods, including clothing for all ages, accessories, home décor, electronics, furniture, and more.
Goodwill’s retail outposts generate the revenue needed to operate its mission to provide critical programs and services to Orange County residents who face barriers to employment, including individuals with disabilities and veterans, to find and keep sustainable jobs. For every dollar Goodwill of Orange County spends, more than 92 cents further the nonprofit’s mission to connect people with opportunities that change their lives.
Open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday – Saturday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
Goodwill is currently hiring with openings across all departments throughout the county. Interested applicants can apply online at ocgoodwill.org/careers.
