Aisle of glassware
Steve W.

I've been to this location numerous times but I have to admit I seldom find anything really collectible or desirable. I do give the staff a lot of credit for keeping everything well arranged on the shelves. One other nice thing is that the bathrooms are spacious and relatively clean and you don't need a key to access them. Due to Covid ,they no longer have their Sat auctions on what's inside the bid cases. Tuesday is 30% off for seniors 55 and above. Other businesses within this strip center is an H-E-B, Twin Liquors, Subway and a Burger King, along with a few others.

We've been here twice now and we enjoyed it, I picked up a nice shirt for 6 bucks...we usually find some music or books or clothes.

Never know what your gonna find.

Its like going garage sale hunting without driving all over town. If your young and need to supply your new apartment, need a costume, or maybe even find small appliances and electronics, sometimes new. I got a KRUPS counter top oven, brand new for $20, that doesn't always happen, but also found some vintage Le Crueset cookware for $5. You never know what you might find. Great place.

I'm not sure if they've got new employees, so my review isn't about all employees because I've been…read morehere a few times and never had any issues until today. For more than half of my time in the store I continuously had multiple workers staring me down, and then two just following me around multiple times which gives me the feeling that I'm being looked at like I'm going to steal. This normally wouldn't bother me because I'm not a thief but it bothers me because I've given zero reason for anyone to be looking at me or following me like this. It creates a nasty narrative, and a hostile environment. Until you've been given a reason to need to follow someone, don't... I'm an indecisive person, but I'm also a gay male in a thrift store playing gospel music, so it's bad enough I already feel like I'm not wanted here but to follow me around and look at me while talking to co workers multiple times doesn't put a good feeling on a customer. And there's a chance that maybe this wasn't the case but I'd be an easy target. There's not a huge selection of men's clothes or shoes and if there is it's mixed up with the women's so I look in ever aisle and I feel like I got stares because I was in the women's aisles but there was a plethora of women's things in the men's aisle so maybe they just need to reorganize? The prices on some things seems incredibly capitalist, I see a whole couch for $19.99 which is a great price, but then I'm looking at a pair of shoes for $24.... Where's the relief in that LOL I have to admit they have some pretty good items, but the prices seem greedy. I don't know how much of the proceeds go to disaster relief but if it's not 100% then it seems pretty disturbing, prices are getting to be like Goodwills and there's no good will in that ‍ All in all, this truly is a great store but this was not a good experience for me so I may seek another store.

Here is a clearer, more polished rewrite that keeps your honest tone but improves flow and…read morereadability: I have visited the new expanded location several times now. There are some things the store does very well, and some areas that are clearly struggling. First, the space is much larger than the previous location. There is plenty of room for merchandise, and they seem to have many kind volunteers working there. The furniture and home goods section is organized fairly well. However, the shelves are extremely packed with merchandise, which may be related to the pricing. Many items feel overpriced for a community thrift store, which likely slows down how quickly things move off the shelves. The layout is also a bit confusing. It almost feels like two completely separate stores. Furniture and home goods are on one side, while clothing is in a different area. What makes it more unusual is that you cannot pay for clothing on the home goods side, or home goods on the clothing side. You also have to go outside to enter each section. It seems like this setup requires twice as many volunteers and makes the shopping experience less convenient. The pricing on the clothing side is actually very good, but the organization is quite poor. I found high-end men's shirts, such as Brooks Brothers, mixed in with women's clothing. There were several other similar examples of items being misplaced, which made browsing more difficult. I have visited multiple times before writing this review because I hoped that, after the expansion, the shopping experience would improve. Unfortunately, the store actually felt more organized in its old location than it does now.

This is a thrift store and food pantry.

That in itself told me that one hand knows what the other is doing, and it's obviously really organized. Second, when we went in the thrift store side, it smelled clean. On that side, they were super nice too, and my eBay purchase pick up was super smooth. Purchases that you make their go toward providing food for people who need services from the food pantry. Even the eBay purchases go toward that. I feel better about a purchase if something good comes out of it for somebody else too. That's important to me and my family. I highly recommend this essential part of the community!

While I didn't see anything I needed to bring home with me, there's a reasonable selection of clothes, household goods, small appliances, kid's toys, etc; all the usual suspects. It's fairly clean and relatively well organized, clearly tagged, and decently priced. I certainly feel better supporting them than Goodwill.

There can be decent finds (though my most recent purchase was a toy with a corroded battery compartment and another missing a piece so that's a bummer), and there can be great prices depending on the day. There can also be outrageous prices for things! But still, a good place to hunt a find. However, things have really shifted for the worse lately. There is lots more furniture, but prices are WILD for what it is. There are many people hanging around changing in the center of walkways or sitting around with their dogs and cats not shopping. And inventory definitely isn't what it used to be-- lots of broken things or stinky items. The worst though lately was an EMPLOYEE who shushed my baby like 4 times for screeching (like babies do) when he got excited and then told me "he's so annoying. Make him be quiet." Can I say inappropriate? Also, like you are 80, did you not have kids or experience them? Girl. Your attitude needs to go in the donation bin. Jeez. It takes the same effort to be kind especially when I'm already wrangling him and another. I told one of the other workers up front kindly that it felt inappropriate and she literally laughed at me and kept ringing me up. Whew. Anyways, that makes me definitely not want to take the extra trip! I still think there can be good finds and appreciate what they are doing in part for the community, but I won't be making the effort to support or recommend it anymore. I sure hope it changes in the future! We really used to love going there!

Every time there is a new bin rotation, people are running and grabbing armfuls of clothes, which…read moreI'm pretty sure is against the rules but for some reason this goodwill outlet lets it slide. Some people are also aggressive, I've had people just snatch a clothing item I'm holding out from my hands and walk away. I don't know why this goodwill doesn't do anything about the aggression at these bins. Not to mention, there are some families that camp out at the bins all day and leave their children widely unattended without any sort of protection, there are usually little kids playing around with items and digging through stuff without gloves. Besides that, I've been here three or four times and found a couple really good finds. Some days I find nothing of value and other days I find some pretty good stuff. If you come to the goodwill outlet, just make sure to wear gloves, because I've literally came across diapers and dirty undergarments. Also be sure to wear a face mask because there is a lot of dust and I'm always sneezing around the bins.

I wasn't a fan. I've been to the bins in Dallas and was expecting my experience to be similar. Some…read moreitems had the bins reeking of a urine smell and it made me wish I'd brought gloves. There were people making a rush for books which wouldve excited me if I thought theyd read them but I'm aassuming the carts full of books were for them to sell. I might give it another go but I'd definitely need to be prepared with a mask and gloves. If there's a strong odor again, I'll have to pass.
