Goodwill Manasota opening new Manatee County location

Goodwill Manasota is opening a new location in Manatee County that it says will create jobs and provide a place in a growing area of the county for residents to donate gently used goods.

Opening June 30, the Lake Flores attended donation center will be at 8004 Cortez Road W., the former site of Ghost Street Kitchen.

The nonprofit has completely renovated the space, which is on 0.4 acre. The building contains just under 2,000 square feet, according to Manatee County property records, which show Goodwill Manasota purchased the structure for $1.11 million in March.
