The Goodwill bins are not for everyone. It takes a very specific, very patient, very hands-on person to have a good day at the bins. If that's you, you're in for a treat! There are lots of great things to be found here but they're entirely dependent upon luck. You might come for days and find nothing good, then find something amazing in the first 10 minutes another time. Be prepared for dubious substances, slime, broken glass, and lots of garbage. Wear gloves if you think you need them. Be prepared for people to shove you out of the way to get something they want or, alternatively, stand 3 inches away and give you the stink eye while you dig through a bin they want to look in. As other reviewers have said, the people working there often just make up prices. This can sometimes work out in your favor but often leads to overpaying, especially if they make you weigh the cart. Whatever weight they have put in for the carts is not accurate at all and will lead to you paying extra 99 times out of 100. Seriously, this place is not for the faint of heart. Or nose. If you're a hardcore thrifter looking for your next treasure, it's absolutely worth the visit. Just make sure you bring some hand sanitizer! read more

I'm always able to find things I need. However, I asked if I could leave a large item up front and was told yes. When I went to pay it was gone. The cashier said sorry I was told we can't hold it. It was nowhere to be found yet she told me no one had purchased it. Suspicious I called to find hours prior to driving there and the recording states hours are 8-8. They are not. Weird hours and chaos, but fun if you find what you need. read more

Love it always find really good deals. They have tons of things to choose from and they are set prices.

This is the most disappointing store ever. Have been a valued customer for almost 10 years. Loved coming weekly until, the new outlet on bannister opened. Everything was the same , prices, nice employees . Prices that are supposed to be $1 to$2dollars a pound, the main awesome thing that everyone loved and could actually afford was when an item like forsay a blender that weighed 5 lbs or more would be considered a 5 dollar item and it would be 5 dollars, period. Did not matter if the blender weighed 15 lbs, it was a 5 dollar item. Now all the sudden , depending on which worker you get, it can cost 15 dollars, maybe 13 or whatever they say that day. This completely ruins shopping at Goodwill Outlet. I know I'm speaking for numerous people. My days of coming are done. Especially when people have been coming for years because those who have a low income, were able to come and get many things for the whole family. What used to cost a cart say 30 dollars is now 80... Unbelievable. The workers will say different prices to every single customer, they will tell some hey let me know how much you got, and I can do this much, but wait till the one manager isn't up front. This is clearly wrong, dishonest to us and your company, they absolutely do not do rotations every 30-60 min. Your lucky to see 3 throughout the whole day. I really think the corporate headquarters needs to investigate every worker, manager at this location and you will see that your workers are dishonest, untrustworthy, and making people who been coming here for so long, just say I'm not coming back, and in disbelief on how they were charged as there walking out the door. Everything I have just written is the honest truth. Please give your customers some kind of hope in change to this store. Kind Regards 04/28/2028 read more

I think there might be a little bit of a misunderstanding , it clearly states that a child under 14 must be an accompanied by an adult ! I have been at this location several times , I have nothing to complain about , I feel like they are doing a great job ! read more

Be aware that this location does not allow children under the age of 14 inside. This is not posted clearly in any space, so we were informed when we arrived. We were told it is for safety reasons. I would understand this, save for the fact that Buy The Pound Thrift, which operates under the same bin structure, has been successfully allowing children since they opened. There are several other bin shopping places in the city that also allow children. This policy should be clearly written in several places to avoid wasted gas and trips. There is a sign saying to keep your children safe, which I saw in the pictures before coming here initially. Why do you have signage about keeping your kids safe if your don't allow them in the store?! read more

We were in the area and decided to stop by. This place is an industrial place so it's next to big buildings and factories. The place is a giant warehouse that is huge. Parking is really big because it's a busy goodwill. There are a lot of bins. Everything here depends on what they have, the time you go, and the day. There are a lot of people here do make sure you are patient. The prices are pretty amazing you won't beat it. We found two shirts. Overall okay experience but a little overwhelming how many people were there. read more

New facility off of Bannister is nicer/cleaner, plenty of parking and clean restrooms with multiple stalls. The bins aren't as full as they used to be but people still attack the newly rotated on bins like sharks. Prices did go up to $2.09/lb still with no discounts for over 30 lbs. read more

This is my go-to spot in KC ! Come prepared with gloves because it's a little dirty and you will be digging!! I've found some great things and this location has an abundance of pants. Good prices and so worth it! read more

Didn't get to go in. I came with my 3 littles from 20 minutes away to pick out some clothing and they wouldn't let me in. Maybe consider changing the name of the store to give people with kids a heads up that kids are not allowed. read more

Rude staff and customers alike. Filthy inside. The employees acted as if they were bouncers working a dive bar. Most of the customers behaved as if they were looting in the streets. Sad, sad, sad experience. read more

You better like to dig. Prices are by the pound. Heavy items are pulled out and priced differently (maybe 5.00). Shoes are pulled out and priced differently too (someone got 4 pairs of shoes for 5.00). I'm a newbie to this and haven't exactly figured out the pricing. But if u like to dig u might score designer handbag or shoes and who knows the treasures! (U might also score something that smells like pee (noticed that when I walked by a bin). Good luck! read more

They don't have appropriate rules regarding returning items to their appropriate bins. It's frustrating to dig through clothes gets poked, stabbed, scratched by junk people were too lazy to return to the appropriate bin. They have rules about touching others carts, but not rules about them needing to be placed by outside walls so not to be in high traffic areas. Getting in the way of everyone shopping. But you're not allowed to move them. Do not take pictures or video or you'll be asked to leave. The staff is nice regardless, and helpful when you have questions about checking out. The area surrounding is sketchy af, and you need to be mindful until you're at the outlet and back on the interstate. Do not go to that JET gas station. read more

Decent selection. Not the best in quantity. The size of the store was smaller than expected but the staff was attentive.

The place seems well stocked. But, the place smells so badly. When I left I felt like I needed a shower. I had to spray the truck down. I did get a beautiful grey wool coat for $20.00. I had to hang it on my back deck all day for a week to get the smell out. read more

I like this place a lot and I like it so much better since they do not allow children. I used to come sometimes and the children were running around in the way. Parents were reminded constantly that children could not put their hands in the bins but they did anyway. All the babies cried constantly and there were many of them. I go much more often now that the kids are not allowed in. The employees are great. read more

When I was living in Kansas City, I was so excited to find out that there was a Goodwill Outlet nearby. My friends had never heard of an Goodwill Outlet before. They were floored when I told them that they could buy clothing items and pay a little over $1 per pound; they insisted that we go immediately. It's best to go with some friends to help you sift through the piles of unsorted goods and look for sizes and styles that suit you. Some people like to wear gloves when rummaging through the piles; you might also want to bring hand sanitizer for after you're done. In the past I've found a silky kimono style bathrobe, cute Summer sandals, a new purse, even a Ralph Lauren fitted blazer. This trip my friend lucked out and left with a shopping cart full of stuff for about $25; now she's hooked! read more

You didn't know it... but this is what you were waiting for. The Goodwill Outlet. Could thrift store prices get any better, you ask? Why... yes! They just did. At the outlet, items are priced by the pound, so you can get a pair of used Uggs (if you happen to be there on such a day) for under $2. But be warned, you can also find a bunch of other stuff that you didn't know that you wanted. When you walk in to the outlet, you see a whole bunch of blue bins full of stuff. At first, it might look like junk, but if you look deeper, you might find a treasure. What happens is that the items that don't sell at Goodwill stores in the region are brought to this spot for one last chance to sell. There are bins of clothes, shoes, glass items, and household items... toys and randoms galore! Be careful to pay attention to the rules when you go in. New items ("a rotation") come out about every half hour to hour, for the entire time the store is open. So, you will be asked to step away from the old items and they will roll out new bins filled with merchandise. Everyone will be asked to stay behind the yellow/red line until the workers tell you that it is okay to walk and stand by the merchandise. But... wait! Don't shop or touch any of the items until you are given the go ahead. When they say "go," get in there and start treasure hunting. Every day and every shopping experience is different. You never know what you are going to find. Give it a try for an hour or two and I hope you find something fun and a deal of the day! read more

This place I call dumpster diving. It's dirty, most of the customers are rude. If two people want an item a goodwill employee flips a coin. I've had my arm pulled by a customer. If your white...forget it. I'm not lumping together, but most customers aren't nice. It's all about run you over, get in front If you to run to the dumpster. It seems they're was very little said on the rude and unfairness!! Kids run amock. It's a mess!! Once in a great while you a find something. It's not worth all the drama. I try to stay away. Oh yeah did I say this is the rudest, unfairness shopping place I've been to... read more

There's A Lot of things you can find at this place. It's always full of things & You Can Also Find BRAND NEW things.

The workers and the management at this location need to start following the rule set by the company and make sure only one cart per person is being used so everyone is able to shop. read more

I almost didn't want to rate this because it's still, after this long, a DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH! Because of the nonsense I particularly look for isn't on everyone's want or need list I can rummage through the bins that have been completely picked through & still find awesome stuff. Books & larger furniture are priced by separately by weight & everything else is left in your cart & weighed. I believe it's 89c a pound. I left the last time spending $20... Look at all the cool stuff I got!! read more

Holey smokes. Get in, get your stuff, get out. The humanity is overwhelming, but the per pound price cannot be beat. I got three baskets, a grapevine wreath, and a bunch of old plates for a craft project. The baskets and wreath were a steal at the per lb price. The register lady decided to price the heavy plates as a 'set' instead at a flat $5-- huge win. Well worth a stop and shop; some nice stuff didn't get bought at area Goodwill stores. My Kansas City thrift run, in an order set by Mapquest, was: Weird Stuff Antiques Blackwells Thrift Troost 39 Salvation Army E 10th Goodwill Outlet Corrington read more

Lead management are very rude and lazy. Takes them forever to rotate. A majority of the time you're waiting 3 to 4 hours for them to do a rotation. The workers in the back half the time are waiting for the front management to call a rotation but rarely ever do. Out of all the goodwill outlets I've been to, this is by far the worse. read more

It's a treasure hunt every time and at rock bottom prices too! Definitely recommend it jut make sure you bring a good pair of gloves. It can be a little sketchy sometimes sometimes with glass and knives while searching in the bins. read more

Omg ... this place is off the chain. When they change out rows of bins people literally have to line up like it's a race. This is not the place for the timid... you need to come in ready to do some serious competitive shopping. Bring gloves to wear.. bins can have broken sharp debris in them. If you are up for a new experience.. go for it. read more

Yelp is suppressing the real reviews about this place. Click down to the reviews they don't recommend to get the real scoop. Broken glass everywhere in every bin, dirty clothes stained with everything from poo to blood, children running around screaming everywhere. To top things off, the staff have to scream at the customers to get them to behave. I've never been into a store where there was so much yelling. It's really a nightmare. read more

I went in not expecting an upscale shopping experience and my expectations with that were right on par. Bins were filled high with various items, mostly clothing/cloth but other things too. Can find some good things there, but a lot of digging is required. They bring out new bins fairly often. My biggest surprise and disappointment on my latest visit was to find the price had jumped from $0.99 a pound a few months ago to $1.59 a pound. It takes a lot of time and patience to sort through the junk (much of it very unpleasant, like stained clothes and broken glass) to find the handful of good stuff. read more

My mother and I went here around 8 on a Saturday night. Even though the facility smelled strongly of cigarettes, we stayed for about an hour searching. We walked out with a tote bag full of clothes and paid a little over 5 dollars. If you don't mind searching, then you should try going here at least once. Unique experience. Will be heading back soon. Ps- gloves are a good idea if you don't feel comfortable not knowing what you are grabbing. read more

Love it there buying by the pound ! Only thing nothing outlet goodwill around me in Kansas have to drive 3extra hours !

Always a fun place to stop in, can't handle it for too long mainly because of the greedy vibes. I get worn out easily from the vibes so more than 15 minutes I'm fried. BUT if you want to swim around in bins of used items and have the chance of winning a great deal, it's worth it! They price items per pound and anything over 5 pounds is automatically $5 (like furniture). I've found some GREAT stuff like a dope synthesizer, a sewing machine, I've gotten plenty of clothes (they're harder to find), I've gotten tons of VHS tapes as well. read more

If you're someone who likes to find amazing things for a good price, this is your place! I've gone twice now and get home with absolute treasures. Expect to spend some time here, as they rotate stock about every 30 minutes. Bring garden gloves to help you dig, bags for your awesome stuff and comfy shoes. I've had a lot of fun going and found some amazing things. Why purchase things at full price when you can get them practically new for like .50!! Walked out with a completely full cart for $40 and it's stuff I actually need. Besides all the fun, keep in mind this is a outlet from Goodwill. There is broken glass in barrels but as long as you don't jump in, you'll be fine. It is quite busy though so plan your trip accordingly! read more

So I've been here twice now, always heard about it but I live almost 2 hours away. But it's so worth the drive. Yes sometimes there's broken things and trash in the bins but it's because it's all the stuff that hasn't sold in store. In two trips I've gotten over 1,000 dollars worth of books for around $50 total. I also like that they price big items for cheap. There were recliners that were in great condition for being used for only $10. They also have things like weed eaters, bikes, baby strollers and more. If you like to read, craft, and upcycle. This is your place. I see stupid comments about the place being unsafe but we have had no problems with severely broken glass or rude customers. I've seen more rude customers in Walmart over this outlet. I feel safe going there and I do not wear gloves I just pay attention to what I'm grabbing. I've brought friends with me who don't even much care for shopping and they're hooked. Everyone I know ask when im going again and if we can carpool read more

Not for the timid. Endless bargains to be had if you don't mind digging through some sometimes questionable materials. Chaotic and hectic at times but when things are 99¢/lb a bargain is a bargain. read more

This is the best place. I love just scouring thru the bins searching for everything. It's like a big storage unit sale. :)

Walk in wearing clothes that you want to dispose of after, this place is gross. The goodwill I used to shop in back in Atlanta was nice and organized. When we needed to make Halloween costumes or needed something for some kind of social we always went to Goodwill. This place is literally a dump and disgusting. Everything is in big buckets that people crawl there way through to find ripped up shirts and muddy shoes. If you do go here, bring gloves and masks. read more

This is a place where you better be rested and ready to work. I have found some wonderful bargains here. If you are a prissy miss, a germ freak or are afraid to dig waist deep in bins.... It's not for you. IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS MUCKER, YOU WILL BE ADDICTED! READY SET AND GO GET SOME GOODIES! read more

I have been here 2 times.. And I have sooooo much fun playing in the bins and stuff!!! Find great stuff and great prices.. Mostly by weight like a dollar a pound .. It's. Cool!!! read more

Fun for the curious people you never know what treasure you are going to find ..... VERY BAD VERY MAl They went on the exaggerated prices I do not like before I go to play the time. Now it is very expensive .. it is better to return to the second common or look for yard .. de un dolar la libra a 1.60 es mucho exajeraro from 1 dollar per pound to 1.60 read more

This place is horrible. I have no idea how to shop there. There are no instructions except for people yelling at you to get out of the way. No one will help all of the people there are rude. What the heck is wrong with this place. I have no idea why anyone would want to go there. Just dumb! read more
