The location at 500 Kings Highway East, which features a drive-through donation process and employs about 30 people from across the community, will give a complimentary Goodwill tote bag to everyone who makes a purchase. The first 75 customers also received a gift card after the store opened at 9 a.m.; the ribbon-cutting ceremony took place at 10 a.m.

The location held a soft launch in September while construction was being completed.
