Here is a clearer, more polished rewrite that keeps your honest tone but improves flow and…read morereadability: I have visited the new expanded location several times now. There are some things the store does very well, and some areas that are clearly struggling. First, the space is much larger than the previous location. There is plenty of room for merchandise, and they seem to have many kind volunteers working there. The furniture and home goods section is organized fairly well. However, the shelves are extremely packed with merchandise, which may be related to the pricing. Many items feel overpriced for a community thrift store, which likely slows down how quickly things move off the shelves. The layout is also a bit confusing. It almost feels like two completely separate stores. Furniture and home goods are on one side, while clothing is in a different area. What makes it more unusual is that you cannot pay for clothing on the home goods side, or home goods on the clothing side. You also have to go outside to enter each section. It seems like this setup requires twice as many volunteers and makes the shopping experience less convenient. The pricing on the clothing side is actually very good, but the organization is quite poor. I found high-end men's shirts, such as Brooks Brothers, mixed in with women's clothing. There were several other similar examples of items being misplaced, which made browsing more difficult. I have visited multiple times before writing this review because I hoped that, after the expansion, the shopping experience would improve. Unfortunately, the store actually felt more organized in its old location than it does now.

This is a thrift store and food pantry. I didn't go and look at a lot of the things there because I…read morewent to pick up an eBay order, but I went in the wrong side first, and they already knew why I was there and sent me next-door. That in itself told me that one hand knows what the other is doing, and it's obviously really organized. Second, when we went in the thrift store side, it smelled clean. On that side, they were super nice too, and my eBay purchase pick up was super smooth. Purchases that you make their go toward providing food for people who need services from the food pantry. Even the eBay purchases go toward that. I feel better about a purchase if something good comes out of it for somebody else too. That's important to me and my family. I highly recommend this essential part of the community!

Unlike that store, which has a bit of everything including books and clothes, this location only sells home decor. It's located in a residential home which makes for a very pleasant browsing experience. They have a pretty great selection of items. The prices vary (there are some more high-ticket antique objects here). Tuesdays are 10% off so if you're eyeing an expensive item, that's your day. I also noticed that they drop prices so if you're willing to take a risk and wait, keep checking. Restocked regularly. I came two weeks apart and saw a whole bunch of new interesting merchandise. For my fellow parents with small children: The other shop is large and has shopping carts where you can place your kids. This one does not as it's smaller and in a house. However, we were able to navigate just fine with my toddler inside a small umbrella stroller. I wore my baby in a carrier. The staff is very nice.

Some people are also aggressive, I've had people just snatch a clothing item I'm holding out from my hands and walk away. I don't know why this goodwill doesn't do anything about the aggression at these bins. Not to mention, there are some families that camp out at the bins all day and leave their children widely unattended without any sort of protection, there are usually little kids playing around with items and digging through stuff without gloves. Besides that, I've been here three or four times and found a couple really good finds. Some days I find nothing of value and other days I find some pretty good stuff. If you come to the goodwill outlet, just make sure to wear gloves, because I've literally came across diapers and dirty undergarments. Also be sure to wear a face mask because there is a lot of dust and I'm always sneezing around the bins.
