Goodwill SF Bay to Close Headquarters and Oakland Store in Major Restructuring

The closures, set for June, will result in 90 layoffs as part of a strategy to optimize operations and prepare for future growth.

  • Goodwill San Francisco Bay has filed a WARN notice confirming the permanent closure of its San Francisco headquarters and Oakland by-the-pound store by June 7, 2025.
  • The closures will lead to 90 layoffs, including 72 workers at the Oakland store and 18 employees at the SF headquarters.
  • Employees not laid off will retain their pay and benefits, with options to work remotely or at other Goodwill locations.
  • The Oakland store's closure comes just months after it reopened in December 2024 following a remodel and introduction of a new shopping system.
  • These changes follow a 2024 merger with a Phoenix-based chapter, which brought a full leadership overhaul and repositioned the SF Bay local as a subsidiary of the Arizona chapter.
