The Opportunity: Donation Retail 2.0
A growing number of Goodwill organizations are taking a page from traditional retailers, building out a new generation of Retail Store and Donation Centers that provide a contemporary, retail-centric customer experience. We call this concept “Donation Retail 2.0.” Right now, Goodwill organizations have a unique opportunity to take their business to the next level. The timing is right for several reasons: • Opportunistic real estate deals are here, but they won’t last forever. • Consumers, landlords, and municipalities are open to new development and ready to redefine their relationships with Goodwill. • For profit, multi-billion dollar donation-based retailers are growing rapidly into new territories, increasing the competition for Goodwill’s traditional donor base. Berengaria Development can help you maintain and increase your share of the fastgrowing donation industry. Our innovative concept focuses on growing revenues and improving profitability, positioning the store as a valued member of the community, and discouraging competition. We developed this new store model as a part of our privileged partnership with Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin and Metropolitan Chicago. Through our Advisory Suite Services, we work with your brokers, architects, and general contractors to help ensure the success of your new Retail Store and Donation Center. We know Goodwill and we know how to successfully select sites, negotiate terms, coordinate design, and oversee construction of donor-based retail stores. We can help you manage the risks and opportunities that come with each new store, so that you can focus on doing what you do best: helping people reach their full potential through the power of work.

“Berengaria’s benchmark reporting and scoring methodology is the best I’ve seen. The first site they brought us cost $850k in tenant improvements and during the second year of operation, it generated that much in profit.”
“Berengaria understands Goodwill, our mission, and our goals. They are fully integrated into our organizational fabric and we know they always have Goodwill’s best interests in mind.”
Berengaria Development is a real estate services company that serves as a trusted advisor to business owners, nonprofits, and municipalities. Our company was formed in response to a need for a real estate department within small- and medium-sized organizations. We can represent the best interests of the owner—with developers municipalities, architects and construction firms—as well as in managing new and existing properties. We are not real estate brokers. We are a team of professionals providing a complete portfolio of real estate development and management services using a fee-forservice approach not based on construction values, like most consultants. In this way, we align ourselves with the interests of our clients, and work purely on their behalf. Our unique approach stems from hands-on real estate experience developed over more than 70 years by the Marcus family. The name of our firm, Berengaria, is taken from the ship that Ben Marcus, the founder of the family business, was aboard when he immigrated to the United States in 1914. Three generations later, just as the crew of the Berengaria ensured a safe journey for its passengers, our team of real estate experts helps our clients successfully navigate the real estate process.
