South Hackensack Goodwill Outlet Opening Next Spring

SOUTH HACKENSACK, NJ – Goodwill of Greater NY and Northern NJ plans to open an outlet store in a newly-built South Hackensack warehouse by late spring 2020, according to the non-profit organization.

The non-profit recently signed a deal to lease a 125,500-square-foot, single story building at 400 Huyler Street, according to Cushman & Wakefield, the firm that handled the deal.

As Goodwill of Greater NY and Northern NJ's main operations facility, the new location will combine an outlet store and warehouse facility for the organization's e-commerce and sorting operations. Donations of items will also be accepted here.

"Currently, our smaller warehouse operation is located next to our headquarters in Astoria, NY," Jose Medellin, Goodwill's communications director, said. "We will close the warehouse operation when we open the NJ warehouse. We also operate a smaller outlet store in Long Island City, which will continue to operate when the NJ outlet opens."

Medellin said positions at the warehouse and outlet store should be posted by late February 2020 and job seekers can apply online at goodwillnynj.org/careers.

Charles Fern, a broker with Cushman & Wakefield, said, "This highly respected nonprofit, which has been serving our regional community for more than 100 years, needed a special building – one close to New York, offering highway visibility and providing a mix of warehouse and office space with the ability to accommodate an outlet store. 400 Huyler Street checked every box for Goodwill NYNJ, including 40-foot clear ceilings and 12,000 square feet of mezzanine offices – as well as an established, responsive landlord."

Goodwill NYNJ has 34 retail stores around the region, including locations in Paramus and Elmwood Park.

Nearly 1 million individual donations received by Goodwill NYNJ in 2018 funded coaching, placement and retention services for 30,000 people. The organization said that resulted in 2,351 people, including 843 individuals with disabilities, getting work outside its stores at hospitals, tech firms and public agencies.
