All the folks who have nothing but bad things to say, shouldnt even be there. 1. Yes, it is dirty and filthy. Its old so called junk that people didnt sell or donated. Why would it be clean? 2. You have to work for the items. Im fine with that, youre not expected to see a beautifully sorted section for you to shop. 2. One man/womans trash is another woMANs treasure. So if you dont have time to shop, I suggest you go else where. 4 Things are weighed per pound, but so worth it if you buy lighter items. Eg. socks, scarves etc. 5. Some big items you can get it priced. Ive never paid more than 4.99 for a single item that was too heavy to be weighed. 6. Ive found such great things, and currently selling them. So worth it if you can find things that are worth selling. 7. Found tons of great clothing that are in perfect condition. Just wash and wear. Im a working middle class civilian who can afford regular department stores, and I absolutely love shopping here. I try to stop by at least once a week to see what I can find. Spending anywhere from $4-10 a week, for a bag or 2 full of things. No, im not hoarding. I donate what I dont wear and replenish from GoodWillOutlet. Since discovering this place about 3 weeks ago, I cant imagine being anywhere else. PS. there are lots of regulars, but they all are cool people. We kinda have a silent relationship where we look out for each other as far as items in our carts to sharing our findings. LOL. Definitely the place to be if youre bored.

For those of you who know Goodwill stores; the Outlet World stores are different, they are the last stage before the items are shipped off to where ever they go [abroad, shelters, etc]. The items are generally not organized beyond clothing vs non-clothing. Some stores are cleaner than others... this store was not very clean when I was there mid-November 13 [-1 star]. Also, even being a veteran "bin searcher" from a different state, I was somewhat turned off by seeing 2 staff members wearing official respirators. Im glad that Goodwill protects their staff with that, but it made me concerned about what I might come in contact with. I rationalized that a few hours of exposure was different than full-time-job exposure. That being said... in pretty short order I found a pair of Lucky Jeans that were "broken in" and a very nice Kenneth Cole full-length recent style white down coat. That needed cleaning, but I laughed when I looked at the sleeves of the white down jacket that I wore into the store [and purchased new] and my coat was dirtier despite cleaning it not too long ago. By the pound that coat cost $1.75 - cleaned up perfectly.

This place is different than your regular thrift store. Things are done a little different here: Disadvantages: 1. Merchandise is inside large extended containers 2. There is no merchandise sorting of any type. You have to dig to find. (gloves could be useful) 3. This merchandise comes from other goodwill stores and is the merchandise that did not sell after a period of time. 4. Aggressiveness of people. When they rotate the new containers, the regulars will swarm around the fresh merchandise. You have to be quick fast and furious or just wait for the euphoria of the moment to pass and shop around. Advantages: 1. Price. They sell by the pound. However, it does not apply for books ($99cents flat price) furniture or some electronics. But mostly everything is by the pound. 2. Merchandise of value: YES you can still find items of value. Some items even new, never opened 3. Customer service is great. Note. This is a goodwill OUTLET store. If you are a picky grouchy type of person, probably this place is not for you. Probably Macys for clothing, Barnes&Noble for books and American Furniture Warehouse will be better choices.

I dont know what kind of moron goes to a goodwill outlet and thinks that its going to be organized. I guess all the idiots that reviewed it before me... Bottom line is that the outlets are bins full of random stuff. If you have children who need toys or clothes then this is the best place to go. If youre an uptight jag off than this place isnt for you. Youll probably stick your hand in broken glass, so the "upcycle" pastel vintage store types probably want to keep their distance. This specific goodwill outlet is nice because they have a separate room for furniture. It also seem to be a little less chaotic than the Denver outlet (less people throwing things AT you).

Im scared to visit this store. I dont know if they have professional flea marketers there but they make it very difficult to shop. These people stay the entire day. When bins are removed, they clamor around the empty spot and chant. Once a new bin arrives, they throw everything into carts and move them into the corner of the store and sort through everything before throwing what they dont want back into the bins and breaking them. Theyll even push kids out of the way. This experience has caused me to donate my finer items to other stores and I urge management to deal with the vendors who abuse their store. Thanks.

As you may of noticed from my reviews I frequently visit the goodwill donation retail stores if Colorado. And the day I discovered this "outlet world" my thrift in took on new meaning . Ive been to the other outlet worlds around town and this one is the cleanest with the friendlier staff. Beware of broken glass and sharp objects as you search for treasures in the large bins. Not for children or familys. But a highly recommended thrift information adventure. Also get there early and secure a cart and large plastic bin to carry.. youll see.;-)

I know thrift stores are about finding a good deal, but do I really have to rummage through unorganized bins of junk to do that? No thank you!!! When I walked in it looked like a bunch of people dumpster diving and after I walked through quickly to see if there wasnt anything I was missing, I left. I left as quickly as I could.I know thrift stores normally have a weird smell about them but usually the clothes are on hangers and divided into different sections, the toys are in one place, books in another,etc. This place was just nasty.

Its a little different than your average goodwill. I highly suggest latex gloves ($2 from any grocery store) and maybe a facemask before going because the clothes are not cleaned first... But there is SO MUCH STUFF. And it is all insanely cheap. Its 50c a pound I believe. You could outfit a family with a months worth of clothes for like 10$. They also have books and occasionally toys. We got insanely lucky and found a tarnished real silver chalice there for like 2$.

Id never been to a goodwill outlet world, but now Ill probably be a regular. It is not a regular thrift store; its more like a garage sale where you have to dig around unsorted stuff, so it takes more effort and can be quite dusty. However, price-wise, its totally worth it. Priced by the pound, for about $14 dollars I got 26 items of clothing (which included a $60 dress still with original tags), a storage container, and an unopened kids toy.
