Goodwill Announces First-Ever Bookstore, Opening Soon in Stuart
Get ready to browse the shelves, book lovers! Goodwill Industries of the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its first-ever bookstore in Stuart. This exciting new venture is more than just a place to find your next great read—it’s a powerful engine for funding our mission to change lives in our community.
The brand new Stuart Square ADC & Bookstore will officially open its doors on Wednesday, November 19th, at 2038 South Federal Highway.
More Than a Bookstore: A Mission-Driven Destination
This new 8,170-square-foot location is a unique addition to the Treasure Coast, designed to serve two vital purposes:
-
A Book Lover’s Paradise: We’re creating a bright, welcoming space filled with thousands of gently-used books at unbeatable prices. Whether you’re into best-selling fiction, historical non-fiction, or children’s classics, you’ll find a incredible selection. With lots of natural light and a beautifully organized layout, it’s the perfect spot to spend an afternoon discovering your next favorite book.
-
An Attended Donor Center (ADC): The location features a convenient, attended donation center, making it easier than ever for our supporters to donate. Every bag of clothing, housewares, or electronics you drop off directly fuels our life-changing programs.
“We are excited to be opening our first-ever bookstore on the east coast – this location features a beautiful space and lots of natural light, perfect for shoppers who are seeking books at a great value,” said Donn Githens, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast. “Additionally, the average donation made at a Goodwill ADC funds more than three hours of job training and opportunities, directly helping our team members to build job skills and improve their economic stability.”
Your Donation Buys More Than Books
When you shop or donate at the new Stuart Square ADC & Bookstore, you are doing more than just finding a great deal or cleaning out your closet. You are investing in the power of work.
-
Funding Job Training: The revenue from your donated goods provides thousands of hours of on-the-clock education and job training for individuals in our community.
-
Providing Personalized Coaching: Your support funds our award-winning GoodPartner Coach program, which offers personalized job and life coaching to help people overcome barriers to employment.
-
Building Economic Stability: By supporting our social enterprise, you help us offer the tools and resources our team members need to build sustainable careers.
Supporting a Sustainable Treasure Coast
Goodwill’s operations are a cornerstone of local sustainability. By giving items a second life, we help divert millions of tons of waste from our local landfills each year. This includes responsibly recycling e-waste, like old computers and televisions, ensuring they don’t harm our environment.
