What a disaster, there's at least a large selection of stuff Everything is broken from being in what can only be described as an indoor dumpster. Everyone tossing things and breaking them like a bunch of ravenous racoons to find one small thing and chuck it back because they didn't like it. If your looking for clothes you'll have better luck I walked out when some ladys were tossing pots back in like they were shooting hoops.

If you want to spend time looking, you can find something interesting. Lots of stuff, just be ready to rummage.

We heard about the goodwill outlet about a week ago. Going to a regular Goodwill is fun enough, so we thought this would be an exciting experience. As soon as we stepped in, it was exactly how I imagined. Countless people rummaging through giant blue bins with some electronics and furniture against the wall. As we wandered through the bins, we were hesitant to touch anything for fear that we would come across a sharp object (as the signs on the wall alert us of) or sticky substance. Thank goodness we brought latex gloves to keep our hands protected. Then a loud rumbling coming from across the floor. I look over to see patrons surrounding a row of blue bins, tossing and rummaging through what I can only imagine is a newly brought out bin. Some patrons pull out any metal they find, others are more selective with their choices. As we sift through the leftovers of everyone else's picking, we find almost nothing worth buying. A pair of jeans that might almost fit, a puzzle that most likely has a few pieces missing, and countless hangers. Then, the employees start condensing bins and moving them one by one off the shopping floor and into the back. They start sweeping the floor of debris. We watch from the sidelines for what seems like eternity (probably more like half an hour) and wonder if they will bring out more bins or if they are done for the day. But there are still 3 hours left until they close, so we wait on the sidelines with the rest of the patrons to see what happens next. A group of employees stood by the back door and starting bringing all of the new bins out. Not a single patron touched anything, but they gathered like vultures, circling the bins. Then, an employee said "go ahead". And everyone went ahead. It took a total of 5 minutes for most patrons to sift through the bins they had been eyeing. I don't know if I will ever come here again. But it was an experience I will remember. Some key take-aways: When the bins come out, you are not allowed to touch them until they say go ahead. Most of the bins are clothes. Patrons throw as much as they can in their cart and sort out what they want after the bins have dispersed. It's kind of gross and dusty, so bring gloves and/or a mask. 😷 Nothing can be put on the floor, so make sure you have a bag or cart. You might be able to find something good, but most of the items feel like leftovers from the goodwill store that noone else wanted, or never made it to the floor because it didn't pass inspection. Also, I wrote this review while waiting for the next set of bins to come out, it took a while. 😅

I adore this Goodwill Bins location. It's easy to get to, parking is plentiful, and the selection is outstanding. The real gem of this location is the staff . Every single employee is cheerful, helpful, courteous, knowledgeable, and always willing to inform you when the next bin of whatever is coming out:) the store is well lit and includes an area with table/chairs and refreshment vending machines. This location is family friendly. Many shoppers where mask and gloves. During the pandemic, every 2 hours, this store shut down for 1hour to sterilize the entire store. This bins store is my "home store" for the last 20 years. I highly recommend this location.
