The prices at goodwill are even more outrageous than they've been in forever. The person who checked me out with my one reasonably priced item, was nice. But the gut that was putting, or should I say just throwing stuff on shelves had zero personality, or approachability. Go next door, their prices are better, they have a better selection, and they are better organized.

I was very pleased with my most recent visit! The staff checked in without being overbearing and gently reminded me when the fitting rooms would be closing (I went close to closing time). I really appreciate it when team members can manage expectations without rushing the customers out. The person at the register was also kind, and naturally so. I picked up some solid pieces to use for work as well as some breezy summer pieces. Thank you, Goodwill!

I don’t know what the deal is w/ this location’s Pricer but everything was so overpriced it isn’t even funny. Nearly everything I looked at was priced at or just below brand-new-retail-price… but everything was used. What the heck? Locations like this remind you that Goodwill is for-profit and isn’t really out here trying to help the community. 0/10 do not recommend. The Pricer at this location serioussssly needs a reality check.

Great experience! People are right, this Goodwill is very well organized I was so impressed. The staff members were quick to pick up articles of clothing that were laying on the floor (I felt so bad that they had to do that, customers should pick stuff that they drop up themselves!) and were very visible and easy to reach if I had a question or something. Special shout-out to Ahmed for having wonderful customer service and being so kind! You are awesome, Ahmed! All of the employees were very friendly and wonderful people. 5 stars well deserved. Also, your purchases are going towards a really great cause - helping provide employment for folks who need it most. Really worth the shop.
