Goodwill Plans To Open Spaulding Avenue Store In Avondale

CHICAGO — Goodwill plans to open a store and donation center in Avondale, taking over a lot that’s currently home to a vacant industrial building.

Goodwill and GW Properties have made a development agreement that would see the industrial building at 3550 N. Spaulding Ave. demolished and replaced with an 18,000-square-foot, one-story building for Goodwill, according to Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa’s website.

The building would have 24 parking spaces, according to the alderman’s website.

The two need a special-use permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals for the project.

Goodwill is a nonprofit known for its thrift stores.
