I love shopping, especially when it comes to finding deals and steals. On Friday, June 13th, Goodwill of Orange County opened a brand new location in Westminster with shoppers lined up ready to shop till they dropped!
Frank Talarico, Jr. is the President & Chief Executive Officer for Goodwill of Orange County was on hand for the celebration and was master of ceremonies. Mayor Ta of Westminster and representatives of the city's Chamber of Commerce were all smiles this morning in anticipation of the ribbon cutting ceremony. Months of planning all came down to this moment - the Grand Opening!
Patiently waiting outside the entrance, several hundred people were lined up awaiting the stroke of 9:00 am when the store was to open. Goodwill offered gift cards to the first 50 people through the doors and raffled off (2) iPads to guests who entered the weekend giveaway!
Once we entered the store, amazing deals were everywhere! Racks of clothing looked like rainbows, so neatly arranged and the selection of purses, I just kept looking and searching for that perfect purse for me. I couldn't believe the brands they carried: Louis Vuitton, Coach, Michael Kors and more!
Once the general public was in the store, I ventured back to the purses to find one lady with a cart filled to the top with all of the name brand purses she could find. Some ladies are serious about their shopping!
I just love wandering the housewares section of any store, but at Goodwill, you are sure to find unique items you just HAVE to have. I spotted a 2 quart Corningware casserole dish with a lid that looked brand new and was a must for my kitchen.
What I love about Goodwill is that they give back. Approximately 92% of every incoming dollar directly supports their programs and services which creates jobs and provides employment training to people with disabilities and other barriers in Orange County -- a reason to donate AND shop your local store!
