Wednesday’s the day.

That’s when the Goodwill store at Cook’s Corner will open its doors for business. The grand opening celebration is set to kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m.

The 14,500- square- foot store and donation center is located at 21 Gurnet Road at Cook’s Corner in Brunswick. It will feature a wide variety of donated goods, including clothing, jewelry, books, household items and furniture, as well as a limited selection of new items. The store, which will employ around 40 fulland part-time staff, also has a drive-up donation area for those wishing to contribute to the store’s offerings.

“ We are delighted to expand our retail presence in Brunswick,” said Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Northern New England, in a prepared statement. “ Our retail stores are vital in supporting Goodwill’s mission to help people achieve personal stability and community engagement through the dignity of work.”

The grand opening celebration will include door prizes Wednesday, as well as a weekend-long raffle.
