Tacoma Goodwill will open a new outlet store May 2 in the heart of Tacoma’s Nalley Valley district.

The new location replaces a store formerly located at 714 South 27th Street, which was adjacent to Goodwill’s Milgard Work Opportunity Center. The new 12,000 square foot Tacoma Goodwill Outlet, located at 3120 S. Pine Street, is the newest of 31 Goodwill stores in southwest and central Washington.

“The new outlet location will be more customer-friendly because it is centrally located, provides additional parking, and increases the selection of goods available,” said Mark Holcomb, Senior Vice President of Business Services for Tacoma Goodwill. He also noted the location is adjacent to one of Tacoma Goodwill’s major recycling centers. “By eliminating the distance between our area retail and recycling operations we reduce transportation costs, leaving more funding for Tacoma area job training and placement programs.”
