This is the best Goodwill location in town. Definitely visit around the end of a BU semester - you'll find some incredible stuff.

The lady working the cashier is extremely rude. I tried to give her the benefit of doubt the first time it happened, but every single time I’ve been to this Goodwill she has been rude to me along with other customers. If you don’t want to interact with people, don’t work in customer service. There is no need to have an attitude with every single person checking out.

Head downstairs. Place is iffy as all thrift stores with reasonable prices are. Lots of students of course. I don't seem to have ever had a problem at the register. Be ready to pay. Check rules first. Remember. The person before you may have been rude. Now you get to fix that.

This place is the best for The Thrift store hunt. Many NEW and unusual items. I am in there at least once a week. The parking is a hassle but the staff is great! For those of you whining about “Rude” service, work retail for One Minute.... the only “rudeness “ I witness is from fellow shoppers.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Are the fitting rooms open??

Hena Patel | May 22, 2022
Boston Goodwill | May 22, 2022

Hi Hena - Not yet. It should be posted once they are.

Why does the Comm Ave store close at 6 p.m. on weeknights when most people work 'til 5 or 5;30 p.m.? Staying open until at least 7 p.m. would at least give people a chance to shop after working hours.

Mar Thivierge | Dec 23, 2021
The Goodwill Store | Dec 23, 2021

Hi Mar, it has a lot to do with staffing. As you know, many businesses have faced staffing challenges since the start of the pandemic. Hopefully, over time, we will be able to adjust our hours.

Are dressing rooms open? Can we return clothing?

Cindy Grimes | Jul 23, 2022
The Goodwill Store | Jul 30, 2022

Hi Cindy - Sara is correct. We will check with our retail team on when dressing rooms will be reopening.

David H. Allen | Aug 20, 2020
Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries | Aug 20, 2020

Hi David - We can accept furniture that can be brought in by one individual so it sounds like we could take the rocker. But the brass bed sounds like it would be too big for our store. We also can't accept mattresses.
