    9-1-23 Grand Opening at 9:30am
    Nadine C.

    Shopping in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii... After 4 years of renovation, Goodwill Store is again open on Waialae Avenue! Located on the Ground Level of the new Civil Beat Plaza, the Grand Opening was at 9:30am on 9-1-23, Friday. The long line was formed way before 8:45am when I arrived. I parked in the free, open surface parking lot on Wilhelmina Rise, which filled up quickly. Free Refreshments, chances to win gift certificates from nearby Kaimuki businesses (examples: Chubbies Burgers, Daily Whisk Matcha, Cowcow's Tea, Koa Pancake House, Otto Cake, Broken Rice, Atsuka Nabe & Shabu Shabu, and $50 at The Surfing Pig), live music, and gift cards for the first 100 customers were the draw. At 10am, the first 300 people were allowed in the store. I happened to be #175. No gift card for me, but I got a free Donut from Zippy's, and a raffle ticket! Thank you! I enjoyed the clean, bright, air-conditioned, organized, spacious environment! I'll be back soon! Congratulations on your beautiful renovation!

    Everything is just in Goodwill... I've visited and donated to this location on a number of times and have tried searching and keeping it Kaimuki for quite some time. As many building in the area are very old some are quite historic to some level this one has gotten to be a bit of a grungy eye sore and as I was sad to hear of the closure not knowing what it was to become was delighted after years and many years of construction to see its reformation of the Civil Beat Plaza and keeping Goodwill as it's flagship shop on the ground level it's now bright and vibrant filled with various merchandises you'd never image to find at a Goodwill. Currently it's embracing of the approaching holiday season the huge Halloween section is the highlight of many...including myself as the various decor and costumes many are brand new and with tags seeing everyone including kids just excited to shop is a delight. Gosh what a beautiful and vibrant place a shop where it's filled with so many items all in a brand new settings including racks some highlighting color coordinated ideas you can find it all here with a bit of search and with free parking right across the street in designated stalls shopping in Kaimuki has gotten so much easier! Thank you!

The cashiers also are very friendly. It's a charity second hand shop that also has many items with tags and labels still on them. Of course, the prices usually can't be beat. My fave items are the glassware, porcelain and seasonal items. I usually feel more in a festive spirit when I visit/leave this location. I also feel good because my purchase profits go to a good cause.

Goodwill is more than just finding a bargain as it creates jobs and helps the community finding the treasures, deals and items that are no longer found in stores and with a bit of creativity I've seen items transformed to very useable item which would end up in the landfill has found a loving home is the best. This newest location is a lovely addition at the top of Waialae Ave as I patiently watched it being built loved how it turned out as you make a left on Koko Head Ave, there is a drive thru to conveniently drop off your donations which takes you straight out to Wilhemina Rise and just to the left you'll see a parking area where there are a few dedicated stalls for you to park and shop in Goodwill. Obviously new this massive space is so clean and organized which I'm sure is a task not easily obtained is well kept and a delight to shop in it's such a lovely place to find many items some are brand new along with furniture and sporting goods is cool and love to see so many come here to shop is great. Thank you!

    In life thrift happens…read more.. When it does we look to the little things in life and see if it can go to someone who needed it more than we do, this is where consignment was something I've done in the past which can be risky but is great tool to sell that item your not totally committed to. Rhea Lana's is the nation's children consignment place that holds events is 25 states and guess what we have one right here in Hawaii and was coincidentally held in the former Toy r us location in Pearl City. I was just taken aback of how much inventory they had!Very neat and organized all sorted with clear signage for all things for kids like clothing, shoes, toys, furniture, books and even accessories for mom like bags and bottles. There was a few items I was interested in but the line was decently long with carts filled with items I though what a great organization this is and is obviously very needed in this community. Though this event has passed follow them on Instagram @rhealanasofhonolulu to keep updated with them. Thank you!

    I've only been to Plato's Closet once before. I bought a pair of Lululemon shorts that I never…read morewould have paid full price for. They were cheap and comfortable. Returned today to sell some clothes that I planned to just donate. Brought six pieces, I think half had tags on still. The brands included Lex Breezy, Yireh, Fighting Eel, and Ari South. They took all six pieces for $47.50. I was happy. I gave it to my husband so he could buy our lunch with it. Someone mentioned in a review that they might discount your purchase if you sold clothes. Maybe I misunderstood because they don't. I bought two sweatshirts. My daughter wanted a BLACKPINK 2022 tour sweatshirt and I got what was tagged as All in Motion (Target brand?). No clue since the actual sweatshirt had no tags on it. It just looked like a well loved, favorite hoody with no logo. Got both for $20. Everyone was pleasant enough. Overall it was a pleasant experience. You can't be offended if they don't take your clothes. Don't expect this to be a money making venture. Just think of it as an alternative to donating your clothes. If they take it, great. If they don't, then drop it off at Goodwill, Savers or Salvation Army. If you want to make money then list it on Mercari.

    Happy Earth Month…read more.. As I try to condense and pare down and accept the unwanted items that are still in good condition and see if I'm able to find a better home that someone will love and not putting in the landfill. Plato's Closet is a great way to do so as they will purchase your items though mind you they are pretty full so are now pretty selective with your items. Many are targeted for teens and younger crowds with that are searching for specific brands and styles. The process is easy you check in with your iD and information and wait until you see your name on the chalkboard to which they will go over with the items they have chosen and you do still have the option to sell your items to them on this visit they seem to have wanted my eco bags which I had a bunch that they now are still in excellent condition along with some shoes. If you do find items there as well the money you receive from them items you just sold will go into a discounted price which makes it a win win in these situation and not filling the landfill with items that could have been avoided. Thank you!
