Malcom's great too, but you can't help but feel happy to shop with such light that shines from Josiah. There are a million things in there to buy. It is like TJMx , RS and HomeG had a baby and all the good qualities are mixed into one store. The selection of gift options were solid. There are some good bargains and super bargains if you like the hunt. I was also really impressed by how quickly the line moved and the cashier's friendly attitude. I will be back on the days I need a build up positive attitude mostly. That young man should work at Dutch Bros. God bless him for the light he shines.

I'm an avid thrifter but don't have a lot of experience with Goodwill specifically, but I always…read moreenjoy my experiences at this Goodwill! As mentioned in other reviews, there's ample parking and usually homeless people outside. They haven't bothered me or other patrons. There's a bathroom that requires a passcode, probably as an anti-homeless measure... I'm not sure how large other Goodwills tend to be, but I'm always able to walk out of the store with something decent. I've purchased bowls and dishes for about $1/piece, dresses for $8 avg, skirts for about $7 avg, tops for $6 avg. I've even purchased 2 suit sets for $10 each -- 100% silk and 100% wool respectively! Always happy with my experience at this store, although it's more expensive than I'd like a thrift store to be (then again maybe that's just the world we live in, in general). Note: if you donate a bag of clothes, you can get a 20% off coupon, although sometimes the cashier hooks me up with the coupon anyway!

The clerk refused to issue me a credit because it was longer than 7 days, but under 30. I asked to speak to the manager so I could explain I had a death in the family. The manager was paged several times; I patiently waited for over 15 minutes and she refused to speak to me and stayed in the back. This was clearly disrespectful. I know this is Goodwill; untrained, unprofessional staff who don't care. Goodwill please remember to practice ethics and doing the right thing. Bad behavior will not get rewarded; I hope she gets a taste of her own medicine. This is unacceptable. I hope karma comes back to pay her a visit. I will find another organization that I can bring donations to.

This seems like a good idear.

got some decent jeans here a while back but now can't find anything worthwhile. Whoever is doing their intake is not doing a great job. Also they're paying pennies on the dollar for clothes and jacking up the price about 200%. I know work and I'm not complaining I just wish they were a little bit more trustworthy and a bit better selection. read more

I'm a 70's baby & my gosh so many memories flooded back to me as I was browsing through the store! Everything is well organized & they've put it all into different departments so to speak, they even color coordinated the clothes which you very rarely see in these kinds of stores! Once I finished browsing through the clothes I realized there's a whole other section with housewares & such! On the other side of the store you'll find the housewares such as Pyrex, vintage cocktail stirrers... maybe in the mood for some classic cocktails, they have a bartenders guide! They also have a great selection of mid century lamps for a fraction of the price of what you'd pay for brand new in 2025... personally I prefer vintage or antique over new! I ended up leaving with a toy metal train to put in my Christmas display but my gosh the selection to choose from was amazing & such good quality for being vintage! This is a store that will be staying in my bookmarked collection... love it! :-)

I've wanted to try this place forever. Why did I wait so long?…read more It's definitely controlled chaos in the basement of an old mall facade (?) but deals are to be had! From what I gathered, some are new and some are returned items to Nordstrom. Bought some Rothy's loafers for work for $38, some returned (very lightly used) Brooks Ghost 17 shoes for $52, and some $15 sneaks Nordstrom brand. Kids stuff was 1/2 off and bought some sweaters half off, too. Left spending quite a bit but probably bought 15 items for $173. Would definitely return. I recommend the rolling carts and not the shopping carts. Can be cramped to get down aisles. Maybe a reusable IKEA bag would be a good option, too. Wish they had more skincare and housewares.

Can I say savvy and sheek for the little ones? An unique hidden gem that sits in a building that…read morelooks like a home. Plenty of space to park in the front of the store where you will see gently used or recycled toys, bikes, and tot things. As soon as you walk in you see a well-stocked store from the ground to the ceiling. Each area is stocked by size that is neat and in an orderly fashion. Selections for boys and girls both young and old. I am always impressed with the price point on all items. I am also intrigued with the quality of clothing. A small area in the back with books and toys. A tiny section in the front with brand new old school toys. I have also had the opportunity to co-sign here. Impressed with the process and believe I was fairly compensated. I highly recommend shopping here as the store has season items for all children's sizes. The only downfall is the service. No one is rude or nasty it is just every time I shopped here I have not felt welcomed. Not a store where you can expect to get a warm welcome, help or thank you for your business.

Cute concept and nice options for the most part (they do have many stained items...I don't…read moreunderstand that and would expect that from a donation based thrift store, not a "high end" consignment store). Most items are priced fairly with the exception of luxury designer items. My low rating mostly stems from a lack of quality customer service. This has been consistent with every visit I've made. You're basically ignored from the moment you enter the store until you leave. During my latest visit I stood at the register for a full minute while a female employee, who sat NEXT to the register, stuffed her face blatantly ignoring me. Finally, without even LOOKING in my direction, she said "you ready?" That's wild behavior. I also heard an employee talking badly about a customer very loudly for all to hear. Entitled behavior with lack of care and service. I'm not especially inclined to return.

I got a pair of cargo pants and the sensor wouldnt come off. The male cashier kept trying and trying and the sensor wouldnt come off. It was a struggle and then it finally it came off. He shoved everything in a bag all messy. So I decided to double check my items when I got outside. Oh look...... a nice hole was starting where the sensor got stuck and wouldnt come off. 1 wash and the hole would get bigger. Went back in the store and I looked at the placement of the sensor on all the pants of the one I got. All the sensors are placed not on the seam. Theyre going to become a hole....bad worker that censored them. That ruined all of those pants you know. I used to work in retail and you just don't place sensors on clothing items in random spots. Put it on the seam of the clothing.

I was super impressed with their selection and wondered why I hadn't been in sooner! They had great options from basics to more in style pieces, at a fraction of many of the other box stores. I also love they have multiple cuts and styles in the same patterns, making it easy to find something for everyone. Their jeans have been quite impressive and extremely comfortable and flattering for. They also have a great athletic line, though I don't have many of their pieces. Lastly, their kids line is also great and always hits the mark when I'm looking for a gifts or items for the kids in my life. Overall, I feel like I make out really well and don't feel too upset if something gets ruined or only lasts a few seasons, though I have found most things have held up well. Staff is always friendly and returns are a breeze when necessary!
