VESTAL — Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey will open its second Broome County store this year on Dec. 6.

The Vestal store will provide retail training and jobs for up to 15 people, some of them people with disabilities, according to Goodwill. The 10,000-square-foot store will offer new and used clothing, shoes, accessories, linens, electronics, books, records, CDs, DVDs, and other household items.
The store will take donations Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. before opening.
