We are like all of the other retailers and businesses feeling the economic pinch, Tanck said. Sales at its 23 stores - covering Boca Raton to Sebastian and west to Wellington - are down more than 19 percent to date as compared to last year, according to Tanck. Some of it is the residual effect of having several stores closed after a couple of bad hurricane seasons, leaving the agency with $1.
5 million in lost revenue. Despite the gloom and doom, Tanck said services to Goodwill s clients - primarily disabled people Goodwill trains for a variety of jobs - would not be impacted by the cuts. It s unfortunate, but Goodwill is a valuable resource and we will be working to ensure that resource is available and our actions have been with that in mind, Tanck said.
