Goodwill Manasota has relocated its Boutique from 5831 Derek Ave. in Sarasota to 1704 N. Honore Ave., Goodwill has announced. "Our objective … was to bring it to a location where it could be easier for shoppers to visit from both Sarasota and Manatee counties, and the Honore retail location had oppor- tunity for expansion," said Bob Rosinsky, president and CEO of Goodwill Manasota, in a news release. "We're now able to accommo- date more shopping in one location." Goodwill's Boutique, which opened in 2011, has been a successful retail arm of the orga- nization, the release points out. It has become known as the place "to discover the true meaning of 'the thrill of the hunt' to uncover upscale ladies' apparel, shoes, accessories and more," the release adds. "The chic store offers several upscale brands," including Armani, Oscar de la Renta, Coach, Vera Wang and St John, the release notes. The Goodwill Bookstore, located at 5880 Bee Ridge Road in Sarasota, will move to the for- mer Boutique store location off Clark Road, the release continues. The new bookstore's grand opening is scheduled for May. "All proceeds from the Boutique and the retail stores support Goodwill's mission of provid- ing career services and job placement and training to the community with a focus on those with disabilities and other barriers to employment," the release adds. The Boutique is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the release says.
