I promised you some interesting facts about one of Minnesota's largest thrift stores (and one of my favorites)...GOODWILL!
Did you know...
In 2000, Goodwill received 47 Million pounds of donations!
Of the 47 million pounds donated, 14 Millions is able to be used.
Don't worry about the other 33 Million pounds unable to be used because Goodwill has always been on the forefront for reducing waste...In 2000, 1 Million pounds of scrap metal was recycled, 300,000 tons of cardboard was recycled, and 390 tons of books were recycled.
Goodwill also has an Outlet where merchandise is sold by the pound! The Outlet is located in St. Paul at 2505 University Avenue W.
Goodwill also owns a high-end boutique called Second Début which is located in St. Louis Park at 4300 W. 36 1/2 Street. You can check out their website at http://www.seconddebut.org/.
Goodwill...Good Luck Shopping!!!
