Little Rock’s Chenal Store and Donation Center breaks ground Goodwill Industries of Arkansas broke ground on its first-ever new-build re - tail store and donation center in the Chenal Valley area of Little Rock. The 20,000-square-foot flagship location—Goodwill’s 36th in the state—marks a major milestone in GIA’s statewide expansion. Located at 620 Kirk Road, the new store will create 30–50 jobs and strengthen Goodwill’s ability to fund education, training, and employment programs. The store is slated to open in December 2025.
ROGERS GRC REOPENS
Goodwill Industries of Arkansas celebrated the reopening of its Rogers Goodwill Resource Center and Outlet Store on May 28, marking a major milestone in the community’s recovery from the EF2 tornado that struck nearly one year earlier. The restored facility at 1301 N. Dixieland Road welcomed customers with a brief ceremo- ny and a “Bins Bonanza” two-minute shopping spree for two lucky shoppers. The Rogers GRC also includes a Mission Services Center staffed with career navigators and reentry specialists. disaster ASSISTANCE
