Goodwill store coming to Blacksburg
Goodwill Industries of the Valleys plans to open its first Blacksburg store this summer in the Patrick Henry Shopping Center.
The site, at the corner of North Main Street and Patrick Henry Drive, was the former home of the Family Dollar, which closed in December.
The new store should not have an impact on sales at the Christiansburg location, which is the top producer of the organization’s 28 stores, said Kelly Sandridge, community relations director for Goodwill Industries of the Valleys.
The Christiansburg store has already reached sales of $1 million dollars during this fiscal year, which runs from July to June.
“It’s an option to residents of Blacksburg,” Sandridge said of the new store. “People are still going to be going to Christiansburg to shop because that’s where most of the major retailers are located.”
