Goodwill outlet is a store, a destination, an event, and a lifestyle. If you frequent this place you start to recognize the professionals, the people buying to resell to vintage stores, to resell on ebay, or to ship home and sell in Ghana. When clothes are priced by the pound and youve got time to kill this is a great place to spend a few hours digging. I never go with any expectations because its mostly junk. This goes double for anything thats not clothes. Buying any sort of media or houseware that isnt totally destroyed is a miracle. I think the appeal for me is the voyeurism into other peoples lives, as well as the operational decisions Goodwill has to make when they sort all this crap. You can see when someone went to that bowling team building exercise back in 95 and they got a t-shirt, or when someone passed away and their family donated their entire wardrobe to Goodwill and now its here at the surplus store. This is a good place for disposable couches, they let you buy them and then come back to get them with a truck. They switch out the bins about 12 at a time every hour or so, and then its a feeding frenzy to get all the good stuff. If they bring out shoes or bags look out, you might lose a finger. This place has to be experienced to be believed, I strongly recommend everyone check this place out regardless of whether they are looking for anything. Anyone thats a germaphobe should bring gloves.

I am a goodwill junky. I found tons of board games for my baby girl, lots of princess outfits. Love this store. Sold by the pound. I got 4 board games, 4jeans (jlo, guess, route 66, ??) 6 princes dresses, 3 pairs of princess shoes and heals for me. All for $32. Excuse me but F!:$& yeah! Each board game would of cost me that. Now, the reason why I didnt give it all the stars, people are vicious! They dont have enough security. A woman with a child on her arm got trampled. An argument broke out with two males and no of the management team stepped in. Some lady refused to step out of the restroom. Security was called and still nothing. She was in there about 40min. Arguing. AND Im from California, so maybe its just there but, none of the clothes is pre washed. They are just dumping. I saw a mouse. Jumped.from the basket where I was to the other side of the row. Eww. If you decided to go, BRING GLOVES!!! AND MASKS!! Theres a lot of dust and what not in the air.

Some one needs to take charge here there are no rules applied, people stealing openly and there are certain electronics that they say are not for sale when you take it to the cashier like laptops for example even though there are no signs that say that you cannot buy them from the bins the book ladies that come there pile up on the books and no one can get to the books until they are done going thru them just crazy Even trying to get thru the front door in the morning is a battle people pushing over other people I used to go just about everyday but now i go every other week just so i do not have to deal with the madness.wake up Goodwill before someone gets hurt .

I love coming to goodwill outlet store you always can find something good their and stuff is grate. The only minus is you can never get your self a pair of shoes, their is people who come their for business and they take all the dissent shoes, good luck on getting any pair of sneakers... Sometimes they will fight you no joke. I wish their was a limit on how many pair of shoes you can take... Like 5 per adult, then everyone would had a chance to find something for them self.

The store is amazing, you just never know what treasures await, there is a BIG PROBLEM with THREATS OF VIOLENCE by groups of foreign nationals who buy in bulk to send back to Africa, if you can manage to stay clear of them (weekday afternoons are best to avoid MOST problems, but also when only clothes are sold) BE CAREFUL!!!!!!I have seen more than one person leave by ambulance after grabbing an item the previously mentioned gangs wanted...

Its an ok place to find new & used items, but its in somewhat of a grungy area & I dug in all areas for the size I was looking for since I caught on that they dont filter through to make sure the clothes are in the correct sized areas. There were a handfull of homeless guy inside & on the corner near the store. Other than those two things, its an ok place for those who like to dig to find what youre looking for! Rummagers paradise.

Yes I agree you need lots of tme to go through this stuff but if you do you can find some amazing things! I have found new LUCKY pants, ralph lauren jackets, amazing sweaters and other things. You just need to know what you are looking for, what is good, and to try to forget about all the craziness around you lol. Its awsome! This is one of my secrets to why I dont have to work and my family always look great.

Its an ok place and i found what i actuly wanted to find in the unorganized bins but i checked a Bag witb a guy who was very egar. When i was ready to leave someone else got my bag and as he was handing it to me i noticed that it was unzipped. I was glad it was empty but i have no trust for the workers there. A customer wallet purse and other things came up missing that day too...

Ive never been to a Goodwill Outlet before. Its a little crazy and very messy (wear gloves). You get to just siphon through bins of things that didnt sell at other stores hoping to find something decent. Everything is super super cheap, however. The furniture is only $2. Its worth it if you really need the bargain but its much more random than a regular store.

If you like to, or dont mind rummaging through bins of all sorts of things from clothing to toys, and dont mind being around lots of people who are doing the same thing, this could be the place for you. They have all of the stuff that is not sold at the regular goodwill stores, including the stuff that is Over priced, so lots of bargains sold by the pound !!!

This is a small quaint store. It holds a lot of japanese brand material. What caught my eye was the name of the store otherwise I probably wouldnt have walked in. The person working the register was friendly and they have fresh food packaged to go as well. They also have the instant ramen all college students love if they are on a low budget.

I used to be able to find stuff here...last two years ....not so much...and people come with their possee to team up and get the good stuff right away....the regular guy doesnt stand a chance....and last time i was here an employee insisted that i deleted the pictures on my phone....so not appropriate....thanks goodwill

A little chaotic - the priced-by-pound goods and crowded aisles full of bargain hunters tend to leave the bins in various states of disarray (not recommended to bring young children - and adults should be careful to watch for broken items with sharp edges).
