BLUE FRIDAY >>>
Tacoma Goodwill Industries is known for its expansive used goods and clothing stores. While Goodwill stores can yield amazing deals, sometimes you really have to work those racks to find that prize Prada sweater or Lucky jeans.
But not anymore.
Goodwill is trying something new.
Friday, Nov. 30 at 10 a.m., blue - an upscale boutique by Goodwill - will open at 2520 N. Proctor St. in Tacoma.
Yes, the title is lowercase.
"A nice property opened up ... fun fact: first property to open up in Proctor in 9 years," says Amanda Bedell, communications manager at Tacoma Goodwill Industries. "Proctor was one of about six neighborhoods we were looking at to introduce blue. The right combination of location and walkability made for a clear choice."
blue will be smaller than most Goodwill stores at 2,000 square feet. Instead of the usual round of home goods and miscellany, blue will focus on unique and upscale - the crème de la crème of second hand, if you will.
"Throughout the years, we've seen a steady stream of brand name clothing, shoes, purses and vintage furniture, all items that would sell well in a boutique setting. The blue concept was to find a place to showcase items like Coach Purses, Lucky and 7 for Mankind Jeans, Ugg and Coach Shoes and vintage home décor," explains Bedell.
Much like other stores, though, revenue from blue will go toward the Goodwill mission, provide job training and other services. Donations will also be accepted at the store.
BLUE, GRAND OPENING, FRIDAY, NOV. 30, 10 A.M. TO 7 P.M. MONDAY-SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 5 P.M. SUNDAY, 2520 N. PROCTOR ST., 253.573.6500
