Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana is celebrating the grand opening of its newest retail store in Corydon on August 31, 2021 at 9 a.m. Located at 190 Pacer Drive NW, the store will replace the previous location and offer more space to shoppers for bargain-hunting. Store hours are Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Goodwill is accepting donations during store hours through a contactless process.

Goodwill employs over 4,100 individuals, many of whom have barriers to employment, such as lack of a high school education, disability, or a criminal background. 

“Our entire state has been experiencing extreme hardships over the past year, so we are excited to open this new location to our shoppers as well as employ over 30 individuals in the space,” said Kent A. Kramer, president and CEO of Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana. “Goodwill remains committed to serving thousands of Hoosiers through our mission and education services. Our retail stores allow us to provide those services across central and southern Indiana.”

In addition to its employment opportunities, Goodwill operates 15 free adult high schools called The Excel Center®, which helps adults earn a Core 40 high school diploma, college credits, and job certifications, all at no cost. Goodwill also offers a maternal-child health program, Nurse-Family Partnership, in communities throughout the southern Indiana region.

“The revenue made from our stores, including the new Corydon store, goes right back into the communities we serve,” said Kramer. “When individuals shop or donate to Goodwill, they are changing lives in our state through education, health and employment.”
