Cherry Hill, Evesham/Marlton, Medford, Medford Lakes, Moorestown, Mount Laurel, Voorhees and elsewhere near the iconic state highways of Routes 70 and 73.
Goodwill Industries wants to convert a closed Rite Aid Pharmacy on Route 73 in Voorhees to a retail thrift shop and donation center, according to a Township Planning Board application scheduled to be considered this month.
Nonprofit Goodwill Industries of Southern NJ and Philadelphia Inc., based in Maple Shade, filed the application in April with Voorhees.
The 111 Route 73 property, where Rite Aid closed last year, is owned by SP Lakeview LLC, a unit of Scarborough Properties of Marmora, Cape May County.
The plan is scheduled to be on the agenda at the board's August 14 meeting, which begins with a caucus at 7 p.m. followed by the meeting at 7:30 p.m. in Township offices at 2400 Voorhees Town Center.
In its application, Goodwill stated that the retail thrift shop would sell "gently used" clothing, housewares, linens, electronics, furniture, home medical equipment and toys.
Little would change with the appearance of the site, according to the application.
Well-established landscaping on the property will "more than adequately provide appropriate coverage and screening," according to a report by Goodwill's professional engineer, Brian S. Peterman of Peterman Maxcy Associates LLC of Gibbsboro.
