TOLEDO, Ohio — Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio is preparing to open a new retail store, bringing new life to a vacant former Rite Aid at the high-profile intersection of Central Avenue and King Road in Sylvania Township.

The 14,000-square-foot store will primarily feature a large sales floor and will support Goodwill’s workforce development programs for people with disabilities or other challenges.

Tim Kralovic, vice president of donated goods and retail for Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio, said the project is personally meaningful.

“Really excited about it. Being from Sylvania originally, I’m a Sylvania Northview alumnus,” Kralovic said. “So it’s especially exciting for me personally because it’s great to be back in the community that kind of helped shape who I am today.”
