Crystal Lake Goodwill Grand Opening Scheduled

Thursday, March 27, 2014 – 9:00 AM

A Grand Opening for a new Goodwill store at 1016 Central Park Drive (next to Walmart) in Crystal Lake will be held Thursday, March 27th, with doors opening at 9:00 AM.

The new store will bring many benefits to the community in training and employment, the generation of new sales tax receipts for Crystal Lake, and substantial recycling opportunities.

The store includes a large 400-square foot “Community Room” that allows local groups and organizations to have a conference or classroom style space with seating for 30, internet connectivity, and audio visual equipment available for their meetings at no charge.  The Crystal Lake Goodwill will also include a drive-thru donation center that allows donors to more easily and quickly drop off their items without having to enter the store.  The store is open seven days a week: Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM-9:00 PM, Saturday, 9:00AM-7:00PM and Sunday, 10:00 AM-6:00 PM.

“We are thrilled with the opportunity to serve the citizens of Crystal Lake and surrounding communities,” said Sam Schmitz, President of Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois. “We look forward to collaborating with other non-profits in the area to assist each other in meeting our respective missions.  We also look forward to our long-term commitment to Crystal Lake.”
