Greenspoint outlet closes indefinitely; Katy Firethorne opening pushed to July 24

Goodwill Houston said on July 8 that its Greenspoint Outlet has closed indefinitely and that the grand opening for its Katy Firethorne location has been pushed to July 24. The nonprofit disclosed both changes in a post on X, where it said the Katy opening would go forward on the new date with community workforce programs on site. The same post said the Greenspoint Outlet closure is indefinite and did not give a reopening date. Goodwill Houston’s website still lists Greenspoint among its outlet locations at 171 N. Sam Houston Parkway E in Houston. ### Which Goodwill location closed, and what does “indefinitely” mean here? The Greenspoint Outlet is the store affected by the closure, according to Goodwill Houston’s July 8 announcement on X. The organization said the outlet is closed “indefinitely,” and the post did not include a timetable for reopening. The Greenspoint site is listed on Goodwill Houston’s website at 171 N. Sam Houston Parkway E, Houston, Texas 77060. (x.com) A separate outlet page also identifies Greenspoint as one of Goodwill Houston’s outlet stores, alongside locations on Highway 6 North and Telephone Road. ### What changed at the Katy Firethorne opening? Goodwill Houston said the Katy Firethorne grand opening was rescheduled to July 24. (x.com) The organization did not give a reason for the change in the X post referenced in the announcement. The July 24 opening is set to include community workforce programs on site, according to Goodwill Houston’s post. Goodwill Houston says on its website that it “educate[s], train[s], and hire[s] individuals with barriers to employment,” tying its retail operations to workforce and community services. (goodwillhouston.org) ### What do Goodwill Houston’s own pages show right now? Goodwill Houston’s outlet page, as crawled this week, still lists Greenspoint as an outlet location and gives standard outlet details, including pricing by the pound and store rules. (x.com) The page does not reflect the indefinite closure in the excerpt returned by the site crawl. Goodwill Houston’s dedicated Greenspoint location page also remained live in recent crawls and showed regular daily hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (x.com) The location page describes the store as supporting workforce training and community programs. ### Did Goodwill Houston post the new Katy date on its events calendar? Goodwill Houston’s July 2026 events page, as crawled this week, showed a July 7 Sienna Store hiring event in the returned excerpt. (goodwillhouston.org) The excerpt did not show a July 24 Firethorne grand opening listing, even though the organization’s X post said the opening had been moved to that date. The company’s main site says it operates more than 100 locations across the greater Houston area and uses its stores and donation centers to support jobs and training programs. (goodwillhouston.org) That makes the July 8 update one of the clearest public notices so far on the status of the Greenspoint outlet and the timing of the Firethorne launch. ### What should shoppers and donors watch next? July 24 is the next specific date Goodwill Houston has given for the Katy Firethorne opening, with community workforce programs expected on site. (goodwillhouston.org) The Greenspoint Outlet, by contrast, has no announced reopening date in Goodwill Houston’s July 8 post. Goodwill Houston’s contact page lists its corporate office at 1140 West Loop North in Houston and provides the organization’s main phone number, 713-692-6221, for further updates. (goodwillhouston.org) Its outlet and location pages remain online as of this week. (goodwillhouston.org) (x.com)
