For Bradley and Kara Goddard, investing in a new facility means building on the business they’ve grown since 2012. Their company, ACD Liquidators LLC, is 50% woman-owned, and its next chapter is taking shape in West Hanover Township through a nearly $6 million industrial development designed to support its continued growth and make room for other businesses.
ACD purchases surplus, overstock, and discontinued building materials- including lumber, windows, doors, cabinets, and flooring- and resells them to discount centers. Since its founding, the company has operated from the Goddards’ home, coordinating wholesale purchases and sales without a dedicated business facility.
Goddard Holding LLC, the related real-estate owner and developer, acquired and developed approximately 13.25 acres at Allentown Boulevard and South Oak Grove Road, including approximately 10 usable acres. The project included land acquisition, extensive site preparation, and construction of a building designed for multiple light-industrial or light-manufacturing users.
The completed development gives ACD its first dedicated business location and has enabled the Goddards to expand into two additional business lines focused on doors and kitchens. The facility also includes space designed to accommodate other light-industrial or manufacturing users, extending the potential impact beyond their own operations.
