My personal view about thrift stores is that those who shop there see the value of the dollar & wish to keep more of it in their pockets by buying 2nd hand! I was raised on thrift stores and garage sales! The thrill of the find was always exciting on Saturday mornings as my Mom planned out our route like others plan out their Black Friday strategies. Needless to say, thrifting is in my blood! I've visited this Goodwill location for years, even through its various different addresses. I'd have to say this latest renovation and choice of staff HAS to be the best yet! Most of the staff are approachable and helpful upon request. The layout of the store is far superior to what it has been in the past! The toy aisle will ALWAYS be a disaster, as it's the 'babysitting' aisle while the moms shop! THE electronics aisle/appliance aisle needs cameras.... ALWAYS empty packages on it! All-in-all, the quality of merchandise is becoming better and better with each trip. With the exception of the bathrooms, the esthetics of the store have improved 100%! Removing the 'boutique' section is also a BIG PLUS! no need to separate quality items if you remove the tattered, torn, stained dollar store buys from the racks, instead. I do feel it would be more helpful to even out the quantity of items a bit better among all of the chain's locations!

I was actually looking for really old cookbooks with good recipes in them but I didn't see any I wanted to buy. The staff here were rushing around but were friendly, always willing to help a customer or give a hug or two to visiting ex-staff members. That part warmed my heart a bit. I did find some heeled slides, a beach painting for my bathroom, several Jax shirts, a Bold City Brewery 5th anniversary glass and last but not least, a package of Smarties candies. No, not used or expired...these were brand new and in the checkout line because of great marketing. By this time you're hungry and more likely to by food after all that shopping. I definitely want to check this place out periodically.

This new location on Normandy Blvd. has 27,000 square feet of retail and operating space, connecting with Charis Cafe and Bakery. The extra space aims to give the customers a more streamlined and pleasurable shopping experience. There's a noticeable difference between this location and the previous, and I enjoyed being able to browse the expansive salesfloor without feeling confined. Various furniture, knick knacks, dishware, books, DVDs, clothing, etc. are strategically displayed for your convenience, and there's always an associate nearby to answer any questions. CRM has various sales and promotions going on during the week for Seniors (Monday), Military (Wednesday), and First Responders (Friday). If you're into thrifting and supporting a great cause, this is definitely a spot you want to check out! Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, SUPPORT your local eats and businesses, and as always...SYOY!

It's also a smaller Goodwill donation center too. But it is vital to know that this is NOT a Goodwill store. It is for those who desire to make donations of clothing, small appliances, etc. Midge, the attendant was very courteous during my visit and took my donation without any issues. I always encourage people to give to charity in whatever ways and means they are able to so. Whether it's holidays or just unloading things that are no longer needed, do give to others who may benefit from them. Please! Make sure they are usable, working, and if clothing, still good for use. If it's something you wouldn't wear or is actually broken, why would you give it to your neighbor? Let's care for our neighbors and do good in our world. Donation sites like the many that Goodwill offers are always great places to do that! Recommend: HIGH
