Wadsworth, Ohio—November 25, 2025— Goodwill Industries of Akron is celebrating the relocation of its Wadsworth Retail Store on December 9th. The Goodwill in Wadsworth reopened for business on October 31st of this year and is located next door to the previous site.

Additionally, the store will serve as a training site for Goodwill Vocational Program participants, providing hands-on experience in retail operations.
“Goodwill’s mission is to help individuals prepare for, find and retain employment, and our new location in Wadsworth ensures we can continue serving local communities as they work toward achieving their employment goals,” said Nan McClenaghan, President & CEO. “Together with the support of donors, shoppers and partners, we can transform lives.
