Goodwill Store to Open in Annandale
The community-based non-profit will replace the RoomStore which closed in 2011.
Community-based organization Goodwill® is moving into Annandale.
The non-profit plans to open a new store in the former location of the RoomStore at 7031 Columbia Pike near Jukebox Diner.
The space has been vacant for almost a year since RoomStore closed after the company filed for bankruptcy in December 2011.
Calls to Goodwill® about a potential open date for the Annandale store have not been returned. However, the banner outside reads that the store is "coming soon."
Goodwill® is most commonly known for their retail thrift stores, but the organization also provides job training and other employment placement services, according to their website.
Currently, the two closest Goodwill® stores to Annandale are in Falls Church on Annandale Road and Arlington Boulevard.

Might prefer a more upscale shop, but it is close to me and it will be close to donate items there.
