GMA completes construction of new Goodwill SWFL retail store in Cape Coral

Construction of a new Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida retail store designed by GMA Architects & Planners – including a new Community Resource Center for jobseekers and others in need – has been completed.

The newest retail store operated by the nonprofit Goodwill SWFL is at 1499 S.W. Pine Island Road in Cape Coral, at the intersection of Pine Island Road and Chiquita Boulevard South. The 19,971-square-foot project features white stucco over a dark plinth base, with a donation drop-off area, two loading bays and a covered entrance to protect patrons upon entry and exit.

Inside, shoppers are greeted with polished concrete floors and LED lighting. The Community Resource Center provides patrons with free digital skills training, resume-building workshops, English as a second language lessons, financial literacy courses and more, and is the second Goodwill CRC in Cape Coral.

The project was completed in mid-August, followed by the store’s grand opening later in the month. The new Cape Coral store is one of several Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida locations for which GMA competed designs, including another Cape Coral store on Del Prado Boulevard as well as locations in Estero, Lehigh Acres and Naples.
