Goodwill Industries of Hawaii to re-enter Kailua with 11th Hawaii location
Goodwill Industries of Hawaii Inc. plans to re-enter the Kailua market in Windward Oahu with the opening of its 11th location in Hawaii later this month, a spokesman for the nonprofit told PBN.
The store, which will be located in a former Price Busters location at 105 Oneawa St., is scheduled to have a grand opening on June 21 with a soft opening anticipated within the next week or so, said Rick Kuwahara, spokesman for Goodwill Industries of Hawaii.
About 10 people will be employed by the new store and donation center.
“It’s a one-stop location,” Kuwahara said. “It’s a good location on Oneawa Street next to Hardware Hawaii.”
Hardware Hawaii also is Goodwill’s landlord for the new location.
Goodwill previously had a store in Kailua, but the building was torn down to make way for the Kailua Town Center redevelopment, which is anchored by Whole Foods Market.
Goodwill, which has a donation center on Keolu Drive in Kailua and in Kaneohe, has eight stores on Oahu.
Founded in 1959, Goodwill Industries of Hawaii reported 2012 revenues of $24.5 million, ranking it sixth among Hawaii nonprofits.
It has about 500 employees and 500 volunteers, according to PBN research.
