Cops ordered the evacuation of a Goodwill store along the northeast coast after staffers found a grenade among the pickins.

Ellsworth store officials had called police saying they’d found the weapon while sorting through items to be sold.

A police dispatcher told a store clerk to immediately evacuate the popular second-hand outlet.

Firefighters and police raced to the scene and put up a safety perimeter around the building.

A state police bomb squad then entered the store, finding a grenade they determined no longer had an explosive charge.
