Goodwill on Wednesday is closing its 5,200-square-foot, 22-year-old location at 1051 Hummel Ave., Lemoyne, and on Friday morning at 9 o’clock plans to open its new 8,000-square-foot site in Lemoyne’s West Shore Plaza.

The new location, a space formerly occupied by a Karns grocery store, has ample parking, wider aisles and more dressing rooms, Goodwill officials said.

The new space also will include a covered drive-through donation center.

The store will employ 26 people, said Jennifer Ross, Goodwill Keystone Area’s senior director of marketing and public relations.

Goodwill Keystone Area, a nonprofit organization, aims to help individuals with disabilities and other barriers to independence achieve full potential as workers and community members.

Its president and CEO is Ron Kratofil.
