New Goodwill Opens in Glenpool

A new Goodwill store and donation center on Highway 75 now serves customers in Glenpool and surrounding communities.

Goodwill Industries of Tulsa’s store number 10 celebrated its ribbon cutting and grand ­opening ceremonies on July 12 at 8:45 a.m. The parking lot was overflowing as local dignitaries and eager customers attended the ribbon cutting ceremony and then proceeded inside the ­beautiful new store, filling its aisles with shoppers. The first 50 customers received a Goodwill 85th anniversary ­shopping bag. The new Goodwill store is located on Highway 75 and 125th Place, just south of Walmart, where it will conveniently serve ­customers from Glenpool, Jenks, Bixby, Kiefer, Beggs, Okmulgee, Liberty Mounds, Sapulpa and surrounding areas.

Goodwill Store Manager Debbie Timmons said, “We have had wonderful support from Goodwill and the Glenpool ­community. And I have the most incredible ­associates in this store. I really appreciate them and all the hard work they did to make the grand opening such a tremendous ­success.”

The new facility is both a Goodwill donation center and retail store. As Goodwill President David Oliver said ­during the grand opening ceremony, “We accept and sell any of the items you will see in the store when you shop here.” The bright new shopping area is stocked full of wonderful ­fashions for ladies, men, juniors and children, and offers clothing, shoes, purses, housewares, books, small household ­appliances, wall decorations, ­collectibles and more. The ­donation center does not accept large appliances, mattresses, tires, furniture or building ­materials. Furniture, however, can be donated 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the Goodwill Donation Center at 2800 Southwest Blvd. in Tulsa.

The Glenpool Goodwill store has scheduled several ­promotions to accommodate shoppers. The first and third Tuesdays of each month are ­designated as Senior Day Sales. Oklahoma’s tax-free weekend on clothing and shoes is August ­3-5. Saturday, August 11 highlights Goodwill’s Back-to-School Sale. August 16 is Goodwill Day. August 25, the last Friday of the month, is designated as Goodwill’s Customer Appreciation Sale.

Debbie Timmons encourages shoppers to come to the store soon to find some really great deals on back-to-school and school uniform items. Supplies will be limited, so don’t put it off. “It’s always fun to shop Goodwill as seasons change,” says Debbie, “and as we approach the holiday season.”

Hours for both the Goodwill store and donation center are 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. They are open from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Goodwill Industries of Tulsa’s mission is simple: to ­provide job training, employment opportunities, and support services for people with disabilities or other employment barriers. “We envision a community where all people have the training and opportunities they need to be ­successful in the workplace, regardless of the employment ­barriers they must overcome,” said Goodwill President David Oliver. At Goodwill, people are treated with dignity and respect. And it’s all made possible by ­people like you who donate your goods to Goodwill and shop their retail stores. Debbie and each of her associates look forward to ­seeing you soon at the new Goodwill store in Glenpool.
