Goodwill to SJC

Goodwill of Orange County will open a San Juan Capistrano store this fall at the Plaza del Obispo shopping center.

It will be Goodwill’s first South Orange County store and fourth OC Goodwill Boutiques. The nonprofit has boutique stores in Lake Forest, Tustin and Huntington Beach.

The boutiques are trendier than the typical Goodwill. The San Juan store will feature concrete floors, brick accents and a vinyl record-listening station. Items curated from Goodwill’s donations tend to be more upscale with some designer names.

“The OC Goodwill Boutique will introduce an entirely new shopping experience to the South Orange County community,” Frank Talarico Jr., president and chief executive of Goodwill of Orange County, said in a statement.

Items sold at the store will include clothing, accessories, housewares and furniture.

More than 92 cents of every dollar spent at the boutique will be reinvested into Goodwill’s programs for people seeking employment.

Goodwill will hire 15 people for the store. Address: 31892 Plaza Drive.
