I went here to find some camera film supplies and found a great deal on rolls of film. Some reviews say that the store is unorganized, which is both true and false. The clothes are very well organised by size and by colour. There is a distinct section for pants, tops, shoes, etc. The books/movies are also well organised on shelves. Anything not already mentioned, however, is a different story. If youre looking for something other than clothes, then it or something similar is most likely in the back. In the back of the store are electronics, houseware, and misc. items all thrown onto metal shelves with little organisation, especially in the electronics area. It is further messed up by customers picking them up and not returning them in the right spot. Prices here are a hit or a miss. Some things are overpriced, some are not. You really have to look hard and dig to find the best deals. In my case, I found a mint condition film processor for $15, which was originally $100+. I saw a camera bag that was worth no more than $10 at $20. As I said, either a hit or miss. I saw many good and bad prices. The staff was friendly and professional. Will return again.

Sure. They have quite a bit of stuff. Not just clothes. Books. Toys. Electronics. Paintings. Dvds. But its all disorganized for the most part. Signs missing. Compounded on this, are prices that exceed what one would normally expect at a goodwill. $150 used generic noname brand tv. Books listed at $8 dollars (price written on cover with sharpie marker. Ruined.) Toys listed at $20 dollars and higher. Used shoes $15-20? Maybe if things were cheaper it would not need a loss prevention person at the door. I would be more more pleased if they hired someone to push a dust broom through the joint. Dont come in expecting a bargain. If the place was more together maybe I can see how the prices would warrant what they were. If you are in the area or desperate to find something to complete an outfit stop by. Otherwise dont waste your time. Lame.

Im fairly new to this thrift store shopping, only been doing this for the past year or so. But out of all the ones I visited. This one is steep! $5 for a top and $10 for jeans?! Not even brand name stuff just regular brands like target, express, old navy. Houseware stuff is even worst. $7.99 for a plate. $2.99 for a mug. Im not one of those cheapskate thrift shoppers I go in looking for quality items and definitely dont mind paying more for quality. (Paid $30 for a brand new with tag on Anne Klein dress retailed for $150)! I really dont think its a deal when I am paying $10 for a pair of USED jeans from old navy if I can simply buy it off the clearance rack at the store for sometimes even less. Needless to say I will not be going back anytime soon.

What an awful store. My girlfriend came into the store late and the management made her say she was "with" an employee of the store in order to get service. Whats worse is that one of the employees made her give her number to him in order to fulfill the status of being "with him". This is unacceptable business practice and I would recommend against women going to this store unless they want to be hit on/creeped out.

What a dump.. Way, way OVER PRICED. Jeese Louise. When will they learn that most of that stuff they labled as $5.99 and $14.99 is NOT WORTH THAT MUCH. And please, STOP CHARGING $5.99 FOR DOLLAR STORE CANDLES. Even used candles are $5.99. Keep them. If theyd lower their prices theyd unload that garbage and make room for more stuff, its called turn around, and they aint got it.

I have to agree with the people who are disappointed. Small store, terrible pricing. Get this... A cat scratch post was for sale, priced at $6.99. It still had the Marshalls price tag of $4.99 as well. I located a staff member, and pointed out this mind boggling pricing decision, and he replied "Yeah, I dont know what theyre thinking." #zerofucks I wont be returning.

Everything in the store is horribly overpriced. They recently raised the price of records from $.99 to $2.99 and claimed that it was a corporate change, meanwhile I bought records at a different goodwill the day before my visit for $.99. Greed has no place in a charitable organization.

Its a thrift store that supports Goodwill programs. Check out their main website. Everyday in store they have a color tag sale which is 50% off all items marked with that specific color, which is the best way to shop. Its actually a big store over stuffed

The prices are ridiculous. Management take note.. you are not Marshalls. Stop over-pricing items you get for free from generous people in your community. All the good stuff is sold online and the rest of the stuff is priced at retail.

Theres nothing worse than a thrift store that tries to charge you very close to what youd pay for an item new...and that seems to be this places modus operandi...know what stuff costs and keep your wits about you.

It is an ok site but be aware that donation center closes an hour before actual closing time. I didnt see this on the website and made the trip. Sadly, they will turn you away even with a full car of donations.

You can find quality books that students have used in classes. Im giving it 3 stars because its lacking organization, especially in the housewares area. Overall its fairly average.

Smelled like urine. My basement has a better selection. Staff was nice but the store was awfully arranged with terrible selection. Will NOT be going back.

Normal Goodwill store and has some smell upon your entrance. Always ask for the color of the day to save 50 per cent off the price ticket of items.

This place is great for when you just want to get common house hold items. But its very unorganized. However that just make it fun to sort through!!

Brian Sheppard

Large electronics section. Most of an entire isle. Good selection of allot of other stuff plus your standard Goodwill fair. Down to earth staff.

The store my be small but they make sure to pack the store with many items. You really have to search through everything to find something.
