Goodwill will open its Goodwill Laredo Central store at 1119 Guadalupe St. on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 10 a.m., adding a second traditional retail location in the city. The Guadalupe Street property previously housed a Walgreens.
Why it matters
The opening expands Goodwill's traditional retail footprint in Laredo beyond its San Dario Avenue store, which opened in February 2006. Shoppers in Laredo's east side gain a closer donation and secondhand shopping option.
Goodwill will operate two traditional stores in Laredo once the Guadalupe Street location opens, compared with one before. The new store joins the Goodwill Laredo Outlet at 11914 Conly Road, and the company has not said whether further openings are planned.

Market Landscape
Goodwill's second traditional Laredo store extends a retail network that began with its San Dario Avenue location in February 2006. The Guadalupe Street opening places the nonprofit's thrift operation in a second part of the city alongside its Conly Road outlet.
Laredo shoppers on the east side will have a traditional Goodwill store closer to home for donations and secondhand purchases. Customers who shop on opening week can take home a free reusable bag with their purchase while supplies last.
