I was on a camping trip and a handful of us ladies wanted to go thrifting in the town of Ventura, about 30 min from Santa Paula. It was a great spot to go thrifting. There were many thrift shops on this street! One of them, Goodwill. There was so much to see. The shop was well organized and clean. The customer service was very good considering it was busy. I thought I have been in a well stocked Goodwill, but this one tops it all. It wasn't just packed with furniture, but it was well balanced with plenty of clothing too. Parking can be an issue especially if you come early. They have the farmers market going on so street parking is blocked off to vendors only. Back to the store.... I was able to find a few items that I could use for a theme camping trip I will be going to in June. I thought the price for the items i purchased was pretty good. But, I find that the prices at this particular named store the prices seem to be high. But you certainly can find some good, affordable things. I would love to come back and maybe find another treasure that someone no longer needed. read more

Goodwill On Main - Thrift Stores Near Me - Ventura, California

This Goodwill is vast and has a variety of used goods, such as clothes, books, shoes, furniture, knick-knacks, and more. The prices are also quite reasonable. I've found shirts here before that are in pretty good condition. This store can make a fun outing, such as seeing who can make the best find. If you're looking for gently used, inexpensive, and good-quality items, this is the store for you. read more

I like this goodwill because the employees here are really friendly and that alone makes a huge difference at any business. There is a good selection and variety of items to look at here and buy. There are sometimes items marked at a reasonable price. I always go back due to good service and there is a worker there I don't know her name but she's usually at register and has glasses... she is by far the nicest person and will keep going there because of good service. read more

If you wanna pay more than retail price go to this Goodwill it's full of a bunch of counterfeit crap that cost more than buying it up the store. Plus, it's really messy. read more

Im in Ventura once a month for work. I love swinging by this shop. It's always fresh and updated. The place is clean and the employees are friendly. read more

Extremely overpriced it's almost depressing, but what made up for that was the customer service from the young man working the register at around 3:40 pm today 12/17. He had such a kind, warm vibe/energy that it put a smile on my face. He was so polite and even bowed and thanked me after the transaction. You could tell it wasn't fake and that he's just a completely genuine, good person. This was the kind of interaction that gives me hope for this world. 10/10 I wish him all the best, Goodwill you're extremely lucky to have him as a member of your team. read more

Found a great decor item for my cabin I liked a few pieces of clothing as well! This is located on Main Street and there is parking near by. read more

Goodwill On Main - Thrift Stores Near Me - Ventura, California

Excellent shop, with a great selection of books! I found a ton of hardcovers that are pretty much new. Paperbacks are 0.99, hardbacks 2.99 and children's are 0.75. I don't know if they have any weekend or holiday specials but when I walked in the sign outside said "all white labels are extra 25% off" Located centrally on the most popular shopping and dining street of Ventura, can't think of a better way to donate and buy while you're in the area. read more

Great selection and unreal prices. Reina was so sweet and very patient and helpful with my out of town questions. Couldn't recommend more!! read more

Christina L. And Kristina H. We're incredibly polite and had such positive vibes. These are important to me when shooing and looking for valuables in my neighborhood. Highly recommend. read more

The 2016 YELP 500, Review #070: Good shop for finding hidden treasures and various items you can repurpose within your life, when you can find them. Therefore, three stars is an awesome review. For me this place means only one thing books. I managed to find one that I just felt I needed to take home with me and for that I am grateful. Everyone has their reason for walking in. Some donate... others perhaps are looking for an accent piece, maybe some kitchenware... or a dress or shirt for casual wear. If you are like me, all Goodwill's are ground zero when it comes to Halloween costume building. Thr bottom line is that .... you... me... We never know what we will find here. This particular location was being well shopped on a Sunday (4.3.16)... it was quite busy with locals and tourists alike. I found the staff to be polite, neat in appearance and the store itself was clean amd well organized. What more could you want? read more

First of all, this Goodwill is really clean and well organized. It makes me feel comfortable shopping here lol Next, the deals are reasonable if not pretty cheap. I bought a black mini skirt for $2.99 and yellow false eyelashes in its original package for $0.69 cents. Not bad at all for a couple of things. Other sale items I saw were $10 for a old tv, $2 for a USB cable and $0.50 for a set of thank you cards. read more

A really great thrift store on Main Street. It was well organized and very clean. I really like how there are set prices because it means less tags which means less trash which is always a good idea. Found a few good treasures here and really enjoyed my time that I spent here. Would highly recommend this goodwill location. read more

I go peek in this store whenever I am in the downtown Ventura area and have yet to find a thing. The parking is front is by meter but there is a small free parking lot in the back but there is never any parking. I love to treasure hunt for items that you can't find in the malls but this store has never done it for me. The store is well organized and clean. read more

Goodwill On Main - Huge selection of jeans - Thrift Stores Near Me - Ventura, California

I like this Goodwill store because it's newly remodeled, clean, open and has good prices. Some of the other thrift stores on the main street in Ventura are NOT cheap and this place has pretty standard Goodwill prices. For example, the wedding dress I found here - I brought it to the counter and the cashier warned me that because it was a formal dress it wasn't the standard $6 price. We checked the tag. It was $9. OMG! Their wedding dresses are not always that cheap, but you can find some really good stuff here without spending a lot! I came here a week or so ago looking for ankle socks. The only socks I could find were in a big box of random crap and few were actually stuck with their mates, but after hunting around I found three pair I liked. They were $0.25 per pair. How can you beat that!? Some of the other stores on this street have better selection, but none have a better combo of price and quality combined. read more

Awful place! Idk how other Goodwill business's function but, service is horrible workers there don't seem to care about their customers at all. They have the nerve to be very demanding in adittude to their paying customers. On top of it the place is rundown highly disappointing. Big thumbs down. read more

This is probably the cleanest Goodwill I've ever been to. Seriously, a thrift store that doesn't smell like moth balls? I couldn't believe that I could actually breathe or didn't feel the need to hold my breath because of the infamous thrift store stench. I guess I shouldn't be surprised; it is Ventura after all. Very well-lit with natural lighting during the afternoon. The thing that caught my eye the most was the abundance of used books. If I lived in the area, I'd def make more trips here. Don't forget to bring your ID for a discount (student/military/senior). P.S. Don't bother paying for parking on Main St. if you're willing to walk it. There's plenty of parking around the area for free. read more

What can you possibly say wrong about Goodwill? They have a huge selection of clothes, and I always find something I love for an amazing price. Found a very cute graphic tshirt and a few other tank tops. The store is well lit, clean, and stocked. Never been in a Goodwill, let alone this one, and not walked away with something. I rarely go in for anything else other than clothes. I have picked up camping stuff (mugs, a pot, and a stove) as well as dishes. You just have to pick and choose. Employees are pleasant, no complaints. Honestly they never fail to offer something for everyone! read more

Friendly staff, decent selection, one-week return policy with receipt since they do not have any dressing rooms, convenient location with ample free parking nearby. Lost a star because the place is usually unorganized/messy, sometimes dirty, and desperately needs a remodel. It also gets extremely busy on weekends. I'd absolutely recommend shopping here to fellow frugal shoppers! read more

Negatives: This goodwill overprices many items, especially when compared to the goodwills in Ventura county. When there are so many thrift stores on the same street, it seems like should have better prices due to the competition. The store gets crowded in the home section, everything should be spaced out more. Positives: clean and organized. Occasional "score" purchases. read more

You can almost always find something here! They've got tons of new with tag items, if you've got the time to look! I got 2 CDs, 1 adult Halloween costume, on dog Halloween costume, and 2 Halloween decor pieces for $8! read more

Cleanest Thrift store I have ever been in. It was organized well, and the staff was nice and helpful. The prices were fine. The clothes are literally new, so the prices were accurate. They have a wonderful book section, and a impressive shoe area. The store gives you a feel of a department store. In someways, cleaner too! read more

very good selection of jeans

I really love this goodwill. Its clean and easy to find what you need. Everything labeled or has signs stating prices. They get new donated items from Target so you can often get brand new stuff for a fraction of the price. I love their glass vases and nick nacks! Have purchased tons of kids clothing in excellent to new condition. Staff is friendly and helpful. Luke and Brianna are awesome! Tons of amazing buys and there's always new stuff put out. Sometimes they have half off everything sales which rock!! read more

Like a previous poster said, this is the cleanest Goodwill I've ever seen. Amazing. What's even more amazing is the prices they had the gall to put on their stuff. Is this Goodwill or Walmart? Actually I think Walmart would be cheaper. I'll still give it three stars for being so clean and organized. read more

I've got to admit it. I'm addicted to Goodwill shopping. Or I should say I was until I moved to Ventura County. What's wrong with Ventura? There are NOT any try on (dressing) rooms in any their Ventura County stores (I've been told). I don't know about you but for me this pretty much eliminates the purchase of any pants, shorts, dresses, or shirts. Oh well. Guess they really don't want my business. Bummer! Now I'll have to find another favorite place to shop for discount clothes. read more

This goodwill has many aisles of clothing that is normally in good condition. There are times that I have taken home clothing that has a hole or stain that I did not see so be sure and examine everything carefully. Besides clothing there are many knock knacks that most often are junk. Sometimes you can find something interesting but the prices on it is outrageous. There are also sales occasionally that only last for the morning and are over before us working stiffs can enjoy them despite their being a sign on the door saying "sale today!". This is very disappointing and feels deceitful. If the sale is over take down the signs. read more

Great store, love finding all the brand new items from target here! Only complaint I have is sometimes they charge nearly what the store is charging for the items. Came across a brand new in box etch a sketch from target and they wanted 10 for it. Also dresses that I have seen specifically at target in the clearance section for cheaper than they are selling them here. But still great stuff and super clean! read more

This store was pact on a Monday morning. I managed to find three random things at an excellent price. I price check everything with Amazon app and everything I got was listed 10-20 bucks cheaper. Very happy with my purchases and glad that everything I got was unbroken :) read more

Clean and neat Goodwill, good place to shop for deals, but don't expect every item to be a deal, this is a place to sift out the bargains from the OK-priced items. Definitely seems to be less useless junk to have to move out of the way than other similar thrift stores. read more

This is a fun store to shop. It has great prices and great finds. I love finding new things for pennies on the dollars.

Well organized and clean. Good flow of stuff through this store so they always have new stuff. I try to check this place out whenever I'm able to and have found some great deals. read more

did not even find a thing, clothes seemed expensive, and the store was small. i didn't even know the store was there since its so far up main street, far away from the other thrift stores. read more
