New Goodwill Store

I have always been a fan of Goodwill stores.  They represent a sort of permanent ongoing yard sale.  My grandfather used to buy his dress shirts at Goodwill stores.  They were white dress shirts that were already cleaned and starched that had been abandoned at some dry cleaning establishment that donated them.

After years of suffering in a leaky undersized building the local Goodwill store was moved to a new location.  The new building is spacious, the store was full of merchandise, and customers - the parking lot has been packed every time I have gone to the new location on Grindstone Parkway which is located about one mile East of the old location on Nifong.  

These pictures are from the new store location:
