3rd OC Goodwill Boutique Store Opens in Huntington Beach!

The new OC Goodwill Boutique (formerly known as Classic Closet) in Huntington Beach reopened on June 19th. It's the third store of its kind from Goodwill of Orange County joining the other two boutiques in Tustin and Lake Forest. It now offers designer brands at affordable prices in a more upscale setting which includes a 2,400 square-foot expansion, new floors, more spacious fitting rooms, new restrooms, shopping carts, new record listening station, and a nicer interior. You'll find the same things you normally would find in a Goodwill but in a more inviting and luxurious setting.

Here's the old section of the store. The aisles are not so tight and they have more room to spread out. The aisles are also nicely organized. It's just more comfortable to shop.

This new concept is unique, because when the boutique does well, the better the community does. 92 cents of every dollar spent at the boutique is reinvested into Goodwill of Orange County’s programs and services that help people facing barriers in the community find and keep meaningful employment which includes job training.

"Our OC Goodwill Boutiques are designed for the community in every aspect," said Goodwill of Orange County's President and CEO, Frank Talarico, Jr. “Not only does the store provide a great shopping experience for our customers, but it also gives back to the community by using more than 92 percent of the store’s revenue to provide funding for our programs and services in the area. When you shop here, you walk out with more than a bag, you walk out knowing you’ve helped people find employment in your community.”

I like the way the new store showcases the clothing as if they were new, and I didn't feel overwhelmed shopping and looking for bargains. The new OC Goodwill Boutique is located in Five Points Center at 18631 Beach Blvd. in Huntington Beach, California. For more information, please visit their website at www.ocgoodwill.org.
