Goodwill to relocate Dewey Avenue store to Greece Ridge Mall on February 28
The larger and enhanced store will occupy the former Ruby-Gordon retail space
Goodwill of the Finger Lakes is moving its Greece Goodwill store at 3654 Dewey Avenue to a larger location at The Mall at Greece Ridge later this month. The thrift store will reside at 140 Greece Ridge Center Drive, located in the former Ruby-Gordon retail space at the north entrance of the mall. Doors to the larger and enhanced store will open at 9 a.m. on Friday, February 28, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Goodwill team members and community leaders. Goodwill will give away $10 gift cards to the first 100 shoppers at the grand opening celebration.
“Moving our thrift store from Dewey Avenue to The Mall at Greece Ridge allows us to better serve our shoppers,” Goodwill of the Finger Lakes President & CEO Jennifer Lake said. “There were several elements that made this location the right choice for us, including increased square footage of our retail floor to accommodate more inventory, convenient entrances and donation drop-off points, as well as access to public transportation and proximity to the highway, among other factors. We look forward to welcoming our shoppers very soon.”
Preparations to transfer retail operations in Greece from the Dewey Avenue location to The Mall at Greece Ridge are underway. The store at The Mall at Greece is now accepting donations from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily until the grand opening on February 28.
This strategic move to a more convenient and centralized location in the Town of Greece will bring many benefits to Goodwill shoppers, including an expanded store layout with a broader selection of merchandise and ample parking for customers. The store, which is more than double the size of its current location, will have two main entrances — one on the exterior of the building for ground-level access and one interior mall entrance next to the Monroe County DMV.
Like all Goodwill stores, an assortment of quality apparel and household donations, seasonal merchandise and new goods will be available to shoppers, and the larger retail footprint will provide more choice and variety in available merchandise for customers to peruse. New at this location, larger donations, including home furnishings, will be accepted at a rolling garage door in the rear of the building for convenience.
“We are excited to welcome Goodwill to The Mall at Greece Ridge in the coming weeks,” Greece Ridge General Manager Jay Wilmot said. “Goodwill’s commitment to elevating individuals and strengthening the community aligns perfectly with our values at Greece Ridge. Their presence will not only enhance our retail mix but also provide greater value to both our shoppers and the local community we serve.”
Store hours for Goodwill at The Mall at Greece Ridge will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. All in-store purchases benefit Goodwill’s many community-based services and impact programs that address critical needs within the region, including Goodwill Vision Enterprises, 211/LIFE LINE/988 and workforce development programs.
