Second Début named 'Favorite new store 2005' by Star Tribune's John Ewoldt

Goodwill's new boutique was named as consumer columnist John Ewoldt's "Favorite new store 2005" in his recent "Dollars and Sense" column. He wrote in part: "I can shop green (secondhand clothing and accessories), support a charity (Goodwill) and still feel like I'm shopping first-class. The "renewed fashions and art boutique" presents smart, spacious surroundings... Frugal fashionistas love the Prada, St. John, Tahari, Escada, Eileen Fisher, Hugo Boss, Armani, and Faconnable. My favorite part is the budget selection of framed art, sculpture and accessories."
