Goodwill Industries of the Columbia has the green light to build a new building at 7511 Wrigley Drive in Pasco.

The new $7 million facility will be larger than the Kennewick store on Columbia Center Boulevard, with a footprint of 35,200 square feet compared to the Kennewick building’s 20,205 square feet, according to the building permit for the Wrigley Drive store.

The new Pasco building will include both a thrift retail store and employment services office space, according to the permit application. 

The nonprofit bought 5 acres of undeveloped land between the Walmart and Mid-Columbia Libraries West Pasco branch for $1.17 million in 2020. 

At the time of the purchase, Goodwill indicated that its new Pasco store would mirror the $3.1 million Kennewick store that opened in 2019. 

Chervenell Construction Co. is the contractor for the work.
