I don't know if they ship out to stores struggling to get decent donations or what, but whatever it is- it's not helping this place. There's never a line- which I think says a lot when only 1 cashier is working and there never seems to be stocking of shelves while you are there. I've a pretty keen eye & not a tremendous amount of self control when it comes to thrift. I go all times of day and nothing. It seems like the same tired stuff and overpriced too. I can leave this store empty handed for months and that's not usually something I experience at thrift stores. At least the weird smell is gone that permeated the place when it first opened.

A place where you can buy the basics for your new apartment's kitchen for just a few bucks. It's a small space, but packed with goodies, and really fun to explore. The neighborhood donates interesting stuff, so I always walk out with something cool. The ladies that work there are wonderful. Half-price on Tuesdays, which is amazing, since the prices are already low. The money goes to the church that's attached, so I usually throw in a couple of extra dollars on top. One bonus point for the name, "New to You," which I always imagine has a little bit of attitude to it (but really doesn't).

You've got to love Goodwill. I live near Midway Airport but decided to take a weekend stroll up to…read moreEvanston, and this was one of my stops. I'll be honest -- I was pleasantly surprised to visit, but not necessarily because of the items. When the store first opened that morning, it was already pretty messy. Compared to other Goodwill locations I've visited, this one felt much less organized. The store itself was clean, but the racks were chaotic. Clothes were hanging off the racks or scattered, and several employees walked past without straightening things up, which was a little frustrating. I'm used to Goodwills having neat aisles where you can browse comfortably, and this one just didn't have that same level of organization. That said, I do want to give credit where it's due. One employee who stood out was Yareli, the cashier. I wanted to buy an item that required an electrical component, and she was kind enough to go through the electrical section to see if she could find the piece I needed. She couldn't locate it, but when I mentioned that I had the part in my car, she kindly allowed me to step outside and retrieve the piece I needed and ahe held the item at the front. I went out to my car, got the adaptor and came back and tested it, and the light worked perfectly. That small act of kindness really made the experience better. To Yareli's manager: that's exactly how an employee wins over customers -- through patience, kindness, and genuine helpfulness. Prices are a little higher at thia location, but still competitive.

Being located inside a shopping center helps to give some additional parking as well if needed. The store has better than average selection, particularly on electronics and books. I also find more items of clothing that I like here and a good selection of costumes. I feel that the pricing here also make it a bit easier to find excellent deals, though some of the holiday items feel like they're priced a bit high. The store is large enough to provide a good amount of space to browse. Checkout is quick and efficient and setup logically.

Very nice and courteous staff, who are on a first-name basis with many customers. The manager is very good at pricing - not too high, but not giving it away. This results in high inventory turnover, so you can go there every week and find fresh items. They have 50% off sales for a different category almost every week, and they have whole-store sales and refresh the entire inventory twice a year.

My experience with most stores these days is that sales people are not aggressive, might say hello and welcome, but funny ask what you are doing there the second you walk in. She literally looked me up and down and gave me an additional side eye when I said, just looking! It's not the first time I've had the heebie jeebies in this store but it will be the last!
