Well-lit, well-designed, has that "new car" smell. Also lots of discounts and coupons, some of which are probably related to recent grand opening. In the plaza near Skechers. I'll definitely be back.

I always take a look at the men's shirts first. I was very surprised to see them tagged at $12 here, which is substantially more than I customarily see at the Simsbury store, where I've picked up quite a few similar long sleeve Oxford shirts for $5. Otherwise, the store is very neat and organized and has the usual accompaniment of clothing, footwear, accessories, household goods, books, etc. I'm definitely a fan of thrift and second hand stores, and even though I was looking for a long sleeve white shirt, I walked out empty-handed today.

Bring in your gently used clothes, shoes and accessories and get cash on the spot, or shop around for some like-new looks-- we've got styles and sizes for every body." I was surprised to see their Enfield location had such a low Yelp rating, because I thought the store was pretty good on a lot of features. #1 - The store was very neat and very well organized with plenty of signs indicating the various sizes of clothing. #2 - The store had a TON of clothing -men's women's, accessories, etc. #3 - Pricing seemed pretty nice -I saw a few gorgeous pairs of like-new sneakers (Saukony) for just $15. As far as thrift and consignment stores go, this one was pretty impressive.

Genuinely don't understand how Plato's Closet is still in business. The attitudes in this store are…read moreinsane for people working a resale counter. Staff act like they're doing you a favor just by acknowledging you, and the buying process is a joke. They'll turn down items that are basically brand new while their racks are full of worn-out, questionable pieces. Make it make sense. The whole place feels unorganized, unprofessional, and honestly just unpleasant to be in. Save yourself the time and go literally anywhere else

I want to love this Goodwill store. People are nice, and…read moresometimes you can find good deals but there are times where I'm wondering if people pricing the stuff are high. You have an item that still has the store's sticker on it priced at .99 cents but Goodwill is selling it for 4.99 is that a joke? Because it succeeded in making me laugh and put it right back on the shelf for the next patron to laugh at. Then, you have items that are clearly from dollar tree priced at 1.99, 2.99 doesn't make a bit of sense to me. Also, there was this one time my mom and I were looking at this small antique folding table and we asked one of the workers to help us unfold it to see how it looked like completely extended and I kid you not, the table fell to pieces on the floor, and we were all staring at each other like, what just happened? The worker had a good sense of humor about it, "Guess it's not for sale after all". But my point is, someone had to have known it was broken in the back, why put it out for sale anyway? Check your items well before you purchase them, especially things like furniture, electronics, and housewares. I don't understand why Goodwill sells some things reasonably and others so expensive especially since many people are donating this stuff so that those who are going through difficult situations can afford it, not for Goodwill to be profiteering off of those who are already in unfortunate circumstances.
