Goodwill of Southern Nevada Opens New Thrift Store and Donation Center on Blue Diamond Road

Nonprofit’s eighteenth retail store to support local workforce development programs

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (January 2, 2024) – Goodwill of Southern Nevada (Goodwill®) will open a new retail thrift store at the intersection of Blue Diamond and Westwind on Friday, January 5, 2024. The Goodwill Blue Diamond Store will offer tens of thousands of unique clothing, housewares, electronics, and other items generously donated by the community and carefully prepared every day for sale by the store’s team members.

The Grand Opening Celebration of Goodwill’s eighteenth retail store and donation center, located at 8970 S. Westwind Rd., will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8:45 a.m. Shoppers will be welcomed into the doors at 9:00 a.m., with the first 150 customers receiving a complimentary $5 Goodwill gift card and eco-friendly reusable shopping bag.

“Establishing our eighteenth Goodwill retail store and donation center in the southwest valley will provide a convenient service for one of the region’s fastest-growing areas,” said Goodwill of Southern Nevada President and CEO Rick Neal. “As our social enterprise expands, donors and shoppers will continue to fuel Goodwill workforce development programs that offer careers in healthcare, entertainment, IT, and other growing industries. This new location has also welcomed 40 new Goodwill team members, each of whom plays a vital role in sustaining our stores, operations, and service to our community.”

The donation and sale of gently used household items support Goodwill career services and train-to-hire programs. A team of ten career coaches stationed at two store-based career centers and the Goodwill Training Academy provide personalized guidance to job seekers and military veterans as they explore training programs, skills workshops, and supportive services that lead to meaningful employment and thriving careers.

Donations are accepted at all Goodwill retail locations during store hours, as well as at three attended donation centers. The Goodwill Blue Diamond Store is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
