I am in Charlotte and on a hint to find a thrift store that I like. I stopped by this store on a…read moreTuesday evening. There were a few shoppers, but honestly they had more staff than customers. I am hoping that this is a family owned business and everyone is not really on the clock. None of the staff were really working. One was seated in a stool with her mask pulled below her chin and on the phone. Another guy and two females were at the front register just having regular everyday gossip conversation. I did see one staff walking around and making sure items were on hangers. The items in the store are very well organized. When you walk in you will find several rows of brand new t-shirts that are $1.00. I did not see anything that I would be willing to pay a dollar for, but if you need a shirt in a pinch and don't want to spend a ton, it's a good option. I also browsed all of the clothing section. What I noticed is that all of the good items are pulled from the main store and placed in what they call the Boutique. The boutique is basically clothing items that are new or in like new condition and priced significantly higher than the other items in the stores I would compare it to a consignment store. However, there was nothing in this section that I would pay the up charge for. One thing to note is that they do have sales. The day I was in there was a sign indicating that yellow tags were 50% off and what I thought was green was 75% off. As I was checking out I discovered that the green color is actually blue! Am I color blind?? If you are in the are and want to kill some time, I do recommend dropping in. I am a very thrifty shopper and can find the brands they put in the boutique area and charge extra for at thrift store prices. As such, it's not for me. However, that's not to say that you would not appreciate the prices.

We were moving and needed to declutter the home to help sell. Now that we are living over 2 hours away we were waiting for checks to be mailed for items sold. after two months of "the check is in the mail" the last story about six weeks ago was that the Indian Trail Post Office is stealing her checks out of the mail... We were then told that she would mail a check in a plain envelope with her home address so the mail people would not know it was a check. Now she does not answer the phone and does not return phone calls.. What great customer service!!!!!!!!!! Mike, (disappointed customer)

The items they had on display outdoors were not the best items to be on display. Once inside the store is small and the items seem to be on top of one another.

This Goodwill was like most, plenty parking, signage and goods! I lucked up on some super cute dresses and tops and only spent about $30 total. They had plenty of inventory to peruse and that I did. From furniture to clothes, to home decor, they definitely had just about everything. I'll most likely stop in here each time I visit Lam's just to make it a thing. Lil shopping, lil dinner, lots of happiness.

For the last many years, I have been a very regular and loyal patron of this Weddington Store. I am…read morethere almost daily and have spent thousands and thousands of dollars in this one store. I know lots of employees there and have befriended many of the other loyal patrons. Shopping at Goodwill has been one of my retirement hobbies and I have had hours of fun there. I even started a Facebook group entitled, "Goodwill Fun Finds", that has 9,000 members and is growing rapidly. Something happened to me today in the Weddington Store that needs to be exposed. As I often do, I brought my new 3 month old seven pound puppy with me. He was in my arms the entire time I was in the store and was asleep. He has never made one whimper and is loved by store employees and customers. He is well mannered and never meets a stranger. Unfortunately, there is another customer who frequents the store who brings his unruly and misbehaved dog. When his dog sees other dogs, he barks and becomes very disruptive. The previous store manager there, he would politely ask this customer to leave the store, which was entirely appropriate. Customers do not like to be surrounded by barking or upset dogs when they are shopping. Today, when that unruly dog saw my dog, he became unruly as usual. The assistant manager, Carol, approached the man with the misbehaved dog and told him that he needed to leave the store immediately. I was in another part of the store, minding my own business with my sleeping puppy in my arms. Carol came after me with a forked tongue and told me that I also needed to get out of the store. She told me that when one dog barks, all the dogs have to leave. I told her that she sees me every day and knows that my dog never makes a sound. I asked her if it was fair to throw the whole bunch of apples away if there is only one rotten one. She told me that if I didn't leave immediately, she would call the police. I told her that it wasn't my intention to leave and if she made me, she would never see me again in this store. She abruptly rushed to her office to call the police. Her tone, attitude and manner of talking with me was entirely inappropriate and unprofessional and I am quite certain, it is not the what GW would want to represent them in any of their stores. She approached me like I was a piece of trash. This entire conversation was witnessed by an employee, Lisa, who has also known me for years. It was also witnessed by several customers, all of whom were in disbelief that I had been treated in this manner. So, because I didn't want a confrontation by police, I left the store after I told a few of my favorite employees there what had happened and why they would never see me again in this store. I am in my sixties and have never been talked to as I was addressed today. I have seen Carol speak inappropriately to customers for years. She has never been welcoming to me and has never been kind. She is brash, loud, unprofessional, and radiates negative energy. I have heard many customers complain about her. When I posted a google review for this store today, I noticed there were multiple complaints about her. Why do they allow this to continue? I had a very successful high level management career for over thirty years. I have had a lot of experience and professional training in managing people and have a good sense of what is effective and appropriate and what is not. What is going on in that GW Weddington store is far from acceptable. The Ballantyne East Store is cleaner, more organized, and has friendlier and happier employees. The store manager is consistently kind, as is the assistant manager and the team leads. I would recommend this store over the Weddington store for many reasons. As long as Carol works at Weddington, I will never return. They do not deserve my business, or yours.

Nice location, very clean stores, polite staff…read more The organization has a general thrift store (kids toys area, a little bit of clothing for men and women, general items), & a furniture store around the corner. This store honestly frustrated me. I go to cause- or benevolent-type thrift stores because I want to support them- in this case, I want to support differently abled adults being trained for work. (I believe this is the org's goal?) This store made it harder for me to spend my money- & I really wanted to! Seemed kinda high end and a bit pricy for a 'thrift store' in my opinion- particularly for women's items and furniture. They had a good range of clothing sizes for women tho. I always hope for a surprise find in thrift stores but this was not going to be one of those places for me-- unless I hoped to spend a few hundred looking for a used designer purse (a la Fendi) or an unusual mini-fridge. I asked about an item in the furniture area & no offer/effort was made to work with me on the (high) ticket price. Usually folks in a cause-related store will work with you because they want to see money generated & they know you're there to support them. Not here/ Got the sense that things are priced & that's that. And when they give you a color tag to look for for a discount of the day, & you don't see any discounted items with that color tag...not fun. (Also guessing that the coveted Matthew location near the Farmers Market is part of the higher prices. But just not as much fun to thrift when a used shirt costs $20.) I did see some kids toys for a range of prices which was nice...but just not a 'thrift' store to me. Maybe I got it wrong?
