Visit the GoodBIZ! Market
Our new Doraville store introduces Goodwill of North Georgia’s first-ever GoodBIZ! Market, a store-within-a-store designed to showcase local micro-entrepreneurs. Graduates of the GoodBIZ! program or entrepreneurship training partners can pitch their businesses to a panel of Goodwill staff. Those selected become rotating, consigned vendors in the market for a set period.
