Pittsfield, MA Matt Halprin of New England Retail Properties, Inc. represented Philips International in leasing the former Big Lots space located at Allendale Shopping Center to Goodwill Retail Store & Donation Center. Goodwill moved from their previous location on Dalton Ave. next to Jo-Ann Fabrics.
The new retail space consists of 9,500 s/f which is much larger than Goodwill’s previous location of only 2,000 s/f. There is also an additional 9,500 s/f for processing donations, and 4,000 s/f of space in the basement. This gives the retail store and donation center a total of 23,000 s/f.
Goodwill held their grand re-opening event Saturday, July 23rd which included a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a remote prodcast from Live 95.9 (WBEC-FM), a food truck from Smokey Divas barbecue, a step dance performance by Youth Alive, and prize give aways for attending shoppers.
