I like this store, but I do NOT like its Sunday bait and switch. On Sunday they advertise half off on some color or other. But what they do is clear out on Sundays, whatever color of tag is half off. So if you wait for weeks to get something you want at half off, and you wait for that color to come up on a Sunday, and you go in to get that something, the clerks will already have pulled that item off the shelf to send it to another store, so you dont get a chance to get the item you wanted. The logic is clear. Promote the half off thing to get people in the store, make sure the half off stuff is gone so the store doesnt take a revenue hit by selling sfuff at half off, then the people there will very likely buy full priced stuff, since they are there already. This is an excellent revenue ploy and benefits the store greatly. Unfortunately, it does not benefit the consumer. It is deceitful and dishonest and sneaky! It is a variant on the old "bait and switch" sales tactic, which is illegal. I intend to file a BBB complaint about this practice.

Friendly workers and staff. Unreasonable prices on most products. When they first open, i can easily find used ink cartidges, unopened expired inks, open package papers and etc for less than 1.99. Now you see it for 3, 4 and some are even 5 dollars. Inks that has not been expired can be purchased new for 10. Not just ink and papers, most cables and wires and etc has very unreasonable prices. A new extension cord was only like 1.98 at walmart. Good will is 2.50. The person who decides the prices needs to be replaced. I stopped shopping there for a year now. I used to spwnd about 50 to 200 dollars there every month.

I purchased a blower and was going to purchase a lawn edger. The edger and the handle werent screwed together and they wanted to charge me for both. I told the lady they go together and she said I know but you have to pay for both. I said Im not gonna pay for a stick and she said fine. Its hard enough to find a whole product there and when they do have a whole product they take it apart to make more money off something that was giving to them. What a joke. Horrible store and customer service!!!

The best thrift store hands down; its clean, well organized, has something for everyone, and everything for you are looking for. Staff is nice, prices are good, but somewhat inconsistent, (to be expected) but they will work with you (a little). Great place for household items, best for electronics & computer stuff; speakers, receivers, and huge assortment of well organized clothing for men, women and children.

Some prices are pretty decent, some a little high. Always has a large selection to pick from. I do always find what I need in the clothes. I can always find something that works good for a cover for my dogs bedding, I think the people who work there could try a little harder to be friendly. They sort of act like they hate their job. Other wise it is a great place to shop.

They only get 3 of 5 stars from me because they do have wonderful customer service, but the prices are outrageous. A pair of spandex pants runs about $6 here, as for walmart ... They only charge $3.97. I thought buying used would have been cheaper... Also you have to remember the fact that all of the items they sell were DONATIONS to begin with.

Store is packed with items, and people. Typical thrift store experience. Lots of greats finds, friendly staff and good prices. Id love wider isles here to account for how busy they are, even if it cut down on selection. But thats how they make their moola. I love coming here, but wouldnt do it if I was feeling closterphobic.

I gave a great experience everytime I go to this place to shop. The prices on everything are really reasonable, the staff here are very friendly and also very helpful. I recommend this place to everyone and I will continue to shop here as long as they are here.

Always like going here to check out the what people dont want any more. I have never got anything that didnt work. The staff is super friendly, and helpful. This place is pretty much the best place to go for second hand stuff.

If you are someone who likes to dress as an individual shop for clothes here. You will have to search to find the perfect items for you, but it will be fun. You can find famous designer clothes for for a 10th of the price.

If youre into sewing, its a great place to find some vintage sewing patterns for roughly 49 cents each! Clothing prices are also reasonable and I come nearly every Halloween to check out their costume selection.

Medium curation, medium prices. This goodwill has some of the best selection of electronics in town I would say. Go on holidays for half off (itll be crazy though, except remember Columbus day still counts).

This place has good days and bad. Today I bought some overpriced electronics that should have never been out on the floor because they werent even functional. Yesterday found a couple good finds. Mixed bag.

The staff here are very nice and friendly and take the time to help you with any question you have the store is clean and the quality of the clothing is above par. Prices are moderate.

Clayton Bigsby

Big place. Lots of selection. They even have new stuff all for a really good price. If you need a Halloween costume they have a big dedicated section for that right now.

Hidden treasures sometimes and somewhat orginzed clothes. Electronic section could use some care and it is a little dirty with a urine/mildew smell most of the time.

Mona Langer

The best Goodwill around by far. Although their prices are sometimes over priced, they have a huge selection and help is usually easily to find.

Becky Riggs

Great selection of merchandise. Good pricing. Customer service sometimes sucks/could be improved. Not very helpful.

Almost all the money earned goes to one man, who makes over 2 million a year. Sal Army goes to the people.

Chris Hewitt

Cant really find a better deal than what these employees price their donations at. Needs a dvd Isle though.

Giovanni Brown

Great prices, cool stuff, and a nice storefront. Its a fun place to check out and shop for knickknacks.

Maverick

Great selection! Prices are a little higher than your typical Second Hand store, especially clothes!
