Goodwill celebrates tacky sweater season

Press release:

Christmas is right around the corner and that means Americans are starting to think about… pullover, cardigan or vest? We’re talking tacky Christmas sweaters, of course. And Goodwill is always the first store people think of to find the best selection at bargain prices. With that in mind, Goodwill has launched a tacky (or ugly) sweater promotion. All sweaters in this category will be sold for only $11.25. And realizing most people will want a different look next year, they are offering a free $5 Gift Card to Goodwill to everyone who purchases a sweater and donates that sweater back before December 31st. The only requirement is the sweater must have the tag and original receipt when brought back. Store Associates can assist with any questions.

“We have been stashing sweaters all year long in order to have a good supply,” said Ted Chellis, Retail District Director. “Selection will vary by store and but new inventory will be added throughout the season.”
