Coast Into a Brand-New Goodwill This Summer on the Mississippi Gulf Coast—Grand Opening Date Announced!

Goodwill Industries of South Mississippi Invites the Community to Celebrate the Grand Opening of Its New Gulfport Hardy Court Location on August 20th, 2026.

GULFPORT, Miss. – The wait is almost over! Goodwill Industries of South Mississippi is excited to announce the Grand Opening of its new Gulfport Hardy Court location on Thursday, August 20, 2026, and the entire community is invited to celebrate.

The festivities begin with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 10:00 a.m., followed by a fun-filled day of shopping, giveaways, food, and coastal-themed activities and swag as part of our "Coast Into Goodwill" celebration.

Designed with both shoppers and the community in mind, the new Gulfport Hardy Court location features a larger retail floor with more room to browse, discover unique treasures, and enjoy an enhanced shopping experience. The expanded facility also includes a dedicated meeting room that will serve as a Career Center and community gathering space.

Every donation made and every purchase at Goodwill helps fund local mission programs that provide employment opportunities, job training, career coaching, digital skills training, and other services that empower individuals to achieve greater independence. The new location will allow Goodwill to continue expanding these services while providing an inviting space where the community can connect, learn, and grow.
