Goodwill Retail Store, Donation Center and Career Center

This is the best Goodwills in the Phoenix metro area. It's really big, always can find the items your buying and more. The employees are grumpy, had a nice lady today.

I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews saying this goodwill is overpriced. I was in the area so I thought I’d check it out. Though the items here are priced a bit higher than other locations (20-30%) it is usually because the brands at this location are significantly nicer and they know that. I went on dollar day and i was able to find many items for only a dollar that were in very good condition and a nice brand. Considering the original price of many of these items the pricing was not as bad as people think.

I’m so sad to write this, as this was previously my ✨favorite✨ Goodwill. However, a series of changes have been made in the past couple of years since the pandemic that have changed my rating of 5 star to a 2 star. Here’s a breakdown of the reasoning: - 2 stars: The prices in this GW are off the charts right now. To be clear, I’ve seen a universal price increase (GW is dealing with inflation issues too), but $19.99 for Torrid dresses, $19.99 for an old label Chico’s dress, $12.99 for a Macy’s pajama set? $5.49 for a Starbucks cup? $17.79 for converse sneakers? These prices are about the same as clearance prices from the brands themselves or from TJ Maxx / Ross. I’m so confused as to why the pricing at this GW in particular is so high. - 1 star: unable to try on clothes. With COVID, all GW changing rooms were shut down (understandable) and shoppers were not able to try on items over clothes (also understandable). However, since mask restrictions eased and COVID cases have gone down, this is the only GW where this policy has not changed. So, gone are the days of trying on a jacket or dress over your clothes to check the fit without running the risk of an employee scolding you. And sorry, but with prices as high as these, I’d like to check the fit before committing (even though I can return for store credit). - 1 star (but technically, this isn’t GW’s fault, so I’m not holding it against them): If you’re a shopper who is looking to avoid resellers, pass on this location. Not sure if it’s the time or dates that I’ve gone, but a line outside of the back door is often formed to mob new racks. Easy enough to avoid the new racks - but the crowd makes the houseware section congested and tough to navigate. Perhaps these are champagne problems in the scheme of the thrifting world, but they’ve definitely encouraged me to seek out new GW locations. Silver lining, I have a couple of new favorite locations that are clean, with great prices, and friendly staff.
