CLEVELAND — Goodwill Industries of Greater Cleveland and East Central Ohio will open a new donation center and computer store on Friday, Oct. 28, in Bainbridge Township.
In an interview with Spectrum News, Maureen Ater, vice president of marketing and development for the nonprofit organization, talked about why this type of store is considered “groundbreaking.” She also explained what customers will find at the new location:
“This actually offers the opportunity for us to have a dedicated store just to sell desktop computers, laptops, gaming consoles,” said Ater. “And so this new donation center is very unique. It’s half computer store and half donation center.”
“So you will walk in and maybe find a great sweater or coat — and you are going to find a really great deal on a refurbished laptop. And we know in this day and age technology is so important but it’s expensive. We want to make it affordable for everyone. And again, whatever you’re buying, you’re going to be able to support the community as a result.”
