Me and my wife recently checked out this Goodwill in the area. This place was a great location just…read morebecause it features the things that I like in a goodwill. It has a restroom and plenty of changing rooms with a solid selection of men's items. That's mainly all I look for in a Goodwill location. They had a great selection of shirts and casual pants. I will say that this location has pretty high prices for what they sell and it looks like our Goodwill number that we input doesn't work at this location. They had a fair selection of household goods as well. Staff here was friendly and there was plenty of parking with easy access to the streets.

This Goodwill is a fun little store. While I couldn't find any clothing of value, I thought their…read moreselection of other items was pretty fun. They had a few aisles pretty thickly lined in toys, housewares, games, and even crafts. I found a $50 yard game for $12, some brand new craft items for a few dollars, and a few other odds and ends. This Goodwill is strangely part of the Cleveland group of stores, so their prices were slightly higher than other Akron area Goodwills. Employees were friendly, and I felt like the store was pretty busy compared to other local thrift stores. If I need some random housewares, I may be back, but their book selection was very underwhelming, and I couldn't find a single piece of clothing that I thought was a great deal or cool find.

I've been here a few times over the years, usually to donate items…read more The donation process is quick and simple. If you come after hours or don't want credit, they have donation bins where you can place your items. During the day (closed on Sundays), you can drive up to a covered drop off spot and employees will help you unload your items. They also will give you a receipt, which you can use for tax purposes ("charitable donation"). Done! As for the store itself, it's massive. It can be a bit dirty and disorganized. It's overflowing with clothes of all sizes/styles. They also have some home furnishings, books, shoes, etc. I can imagine that it's hard to keep up with. The prices seem fine to me, but then again, I very rarely thrift shop. I do have a sweater from here that I love, that I specifically remember getting for $1.50. If you're looking for a place to drop things off, I highly recommend this location!

I have been thrifting for about a year and I make the drive to Hartville on a regular basis to…read morevisit Hartville Thrift Shoppe. Located on W. Maple just a couple of blocks from the Hartville Flea Market is a huge thrift store. Open Monday through Saturday, Hartville Thrift is always fun and worth the time. The first thing to check out is the video screens which show the colors of the week: one is 50% off and the other is 99 cents; even without those colors prices are very reasonable, mens shirts are $3, sportscoats are $8, suits are $10. It is also worth checking out the items on the silent auction as you enter the main room, there are usually some cool more expensive items and large collections available. In the main area you will find a ton of clothes, jewelry, shoes, art, toys and assorted other stuff. In the room to your right as you enter there is kitchen items, knick knacks, Christmas items, electronics, sporting goods and more. You will also usually see a couple of tiered carts with items just being brought out, just be ready for people to swarm to see what is available. Further back and further to the right is an area with furniture, hardware, lamps and garden stuff. I have found all kinds of values at Hartville Thrift, from Suit jackets, shirts, masks, figurines and most of those were very cheap. In addition the staff is great, they are friendly and helpful. The selection changes not just daily but can be supplemented at any time. There are going to be times when you don't find anything, other times when you come away with a very nice haul. If you are interested in a unique thrifting experience, it is well worth the trip to Hartville to check out Hartville Thrift Shoppe. With most of the major Thrift Stores reducing the discounts they offer and raising prices it is refreshing to still have a place with a great assortment and offering real values.

I absolutely love Habitat for Humanity Restore. Whether you are looking to furnish your place or…read morewanting to discover a new piece of furniture to repurpose, Restore is the place for you. The staff is friendly, prompt, and seem to really enjoy what they do. The customer walks through sliding glass doors and sees an array of sorted furniture from chairs to coffee tables to couches & dressers. You will also find books, kitchenware, home restoration tools, new paints and various furnishings to bring your home or organization back to life. When the customer finds piece of furniture they like, simply bring the tag attached to the piece to the front counter for a quick & easy checkout experience. The friendly worker will give you two copies of the hols slip: one to place on the piece of furniture and the other to take with you to the pick up area. To get to the pick up area, drive your vehicle around to the back side of the building where friendly staff will assist in loading your new to you furniture into your vehicle.

I'm not gonna lie, of the three Restores in the area, this is probably my least favorite. They have…read morea lot of stuff you'd expect to have been donated to a regular thrift store instead. Very little wood, and kind of on the pricey side anyhow. There is an entire huge room filled with random crap on shelves that you must sort through. It kind of reminds me of Bin Treasures, if Bin Treasures only sold electric drills without battery packs. There's .. a lot of those here. Seriously, what am I supposed to do with an electric drill that doesn't include batteries? Nothing! That's what! I think they also sell furniture or whatever. I'm not saying it isn't worth going to, just temper your expectations. This isn't the Akron Restore we're talking about.

Very inconsistent and unjust treatment of residents. Some residents get yelled at for sitting in…read morecertain places while others get to sit in the same place and no one says anything to them. I've seen people thrown out in the middle of winter into the snow just because they spoke up for themselves. I've seen staff treat the homeless like criminals even though everyone's situation is different. This place isn't all sunshine and rainbows like so many people are trying to make it seem. The staff are on a power trip; including the security in the cafeteria. I went to grab a single hat before dinner and the security told me "you can shop after dinner, bud." Like, I wasn't going to "shop" I just wanted a hat. What does it matter if I grab it before or after? I've had staff talk down to me and threaten to throw me out when I spoke up for myself. They don't like people with minds of their own in places like this. Sure, it's clean, and it's a place to stay but you might as well be sitting in the emergency room. There's no space in the day room. They have like 30 guys sharing 1 bathroom and they won't let you in the back to use the bathroom that has the appropriate number of toilets. If you knock and ask, they give you the worst attitude like you asked them for a hundred bucks or something. They don't give you enough time to sleep. You can't go to bed until 9pm and they wake you up, sometimes by shaking you, at 6am. Some people take a while to fall asleep and some people take a while to wake up. I have explained this to them many times but they don't seem to care. The only reason this place is as popular as it is is because they put up a good front and use the name of God to make themselves look better than they actually are. It's not a good place to live. This would be fine if it were a halfway house or a group home or something like that but it's not. It's a homeless shelter. Not all homeless people are on drugs or have a criminal record. Some of us just have really bad luck. This kind of thing is a fine example of how assumptions ruin things for the people that could actually use it. I am enraged and saddened at the way I've seen people treated here. They have no understanding of mental health at all so if someone is having a rough day, instead of trying to comfort them, they yell at them and threaten them with further homelessness. It's disgusting. To anyone thinking about donating here: don't. There are much more humane places that would actually use your donations to help people in the right way. This place is more like a zoo than a shelter. And the staff are more like corrections officers than volunteers. Don't let the smiles and the kind words fool you. Behind closed doors, these people are quite cruel to the needy.

Big thrift store with good selection of clothes, decent amount of other items. Prices are OK,…read morealthough the new pricing system as of late 2025 can be a bit confusing. The people working there are friendly and helpful, although it seems to be a bit understaffed. The Fairlawn Salvation Army thrift store used to be one of my favorites, then they eliminated some of the discount colors and then went to a system with most of the clothes being priced according to what they are, i.e. pants and shirts are $4.99 and there is one color that is half price (although on Wednesdays everything except one color are half price). On my most recent visit they have backtracked a bit so that most of the brick a brack and shoes are individually priced. There are still some good values, however the selection seems to be not as good and it can be confusing what certain things cost. The advantage of the current system is that if you find a high quality piece of clothing you do get it for a good price. The non-clothing selection has definitely decreased, the selection is limited and there are not a lot of interesting items. In the past I have found some really nice items, but now it seems like most of the stuff is nothing really special. Overall a pretty good thrift store, but not worth a trip just for thus store.

This place is really great if you're looking for "their type"...which seemed to be Christian definitely, nationalist maybe...so if you're into that you'll love it. There WERE sections for diverse topics-they were just either empty or nearly so. Maybe a bunch of witchy liberal first peoples recently came through and they haven't recovered? There were whole aisles devoted to Christian books. All in all, not diverse but they do have nice books if you are looking for what they carry.

This shop has two floors packed to the brim with about any kind of book imaginable. An entire children's section, foreign language books, old collectors books, and more. If you wanted to put together a bookshelf full of classics that actually look like classics in worn, brown leather binding you could definitely get your start here. There is every section you expect from a book store. An extensive collection of fiction starting at the front of the store, with classics and nonfiction in the back and upstairs. The children's section is also upstairs. There are a few places where you can sit and read. This being a primarily used book store, you can sell and trade too. Highest dollar is given for nonfiction, with hardbacks being at the top of that list. You can sell your books outright with no obligation to use the money as credit only. However, like with most trade-in places, you will typically get more value if you apply it in credit than if you take it in cash. Absolutely worth a visit, even if you're just looking to browse the day away in town.
