The first thing I noticed was the distinctive smell. I really wonder if they wash the clothing before putting it out.! I asked about the color discount that most Goodwill have and they said they no longer do that. The pricing was a bit high for some of their clothes. I definitely won't need to go back.. read more

There's no dressing room. Old used shoes priced at $9.99. Dollar Tree items priced at $3.99. I was told that they would "let me" try on clothes in the bathroom if I stood in line and paid for them first. Then stand in line and return them if they don't fit. I live an hour away and this is the only Goodwill around with this ridiculous policy. I won't be back. read more

I'm disappointed how much new stock is on sale for close to regular store prices. I'm doing a lot more shopping at Marshall's and St. Vincent de Paul. I used to be a very frequent shopper at Goodwill. I'm extremely disappointed that the color-coded discounts are no longer offered. I do appreciate the senior and veterans discounts. read more

The elderly lady at the cashier was extremely rude. Donated stuff and the nice gentleman that took the donation gave us one 10% coupon even though we each had our own donation. Cashier said only one of us can have discount. She is rude and I won't come back to your store. read more

Best Goodwill I have ever been to...very organized and clean. It was like being in a cheaper TJ Maxx! There so many books for cheap!! They even had VHS, DVDs, and CDs. Decent selection too. There was a room with furniture and a cubby to test electronics and kitchen gadgets. Nice selection of pots and pans. read more

See all

Decent selection, clean, and well organized. Most items were fairly priced. It's of my favorite stops when I'm in the area.

Well, I had pretty good luck at this store to my surprise. I was looking for a winter coat to hold me through my trip since I left the one I intended to bring home in California. I had looked at a couple of other thrift stores with not much luck. The one I found in here isn't one I would have bought new. It's not lavender or purple, gasp!. It's huge on me but it's reversible with one side being fleece and the other side being rainproof, I hope. It's got good pockets and a drawstring neckline, no hood but I bought a separate hat that will do the job and maybe I'll just knit myself one as I travel. I think that these will do the job to keep me warm and I can always donate the coat back to Goodwill or to a homeless organization when it's time to fly back to California. I also found a couple of small bags of yarn I can use. All in all I left the store satisfied and even made it out to my car right before it started raining. The restroom was nice and clean, too. I recommend tthis store. read more
