    Goodwill was founded in 1902 by Boston Minister, Reverend Edgar J. Helms. He took donations from wealthy Bostonians and hired people who were poor and who could fix the items. The items were then given to the people who worked on them or were resold. Goodwill's philosophy is "a hand up, not a hand out." Goodwill Industries of Central Florida started in 1959. Today Goodwill has become a $5 billion nonprofit organization that provides job training, employment, and community programs for people who have disabilities that might prevent them from getting a job on their own. This Goodwill Superstore is located on Oakland Park Boulevard. While still selling bargain thrift, the superstores have innovative and trendy displays. They also have more contemporary designs and modern display fixtures designed to raise the bar in the thrift market. The Oakland Park Goodwill store is attractively arranged. Clothes and new items are in the front of the store. As you move towards the back of the store there is furniture and home goods. A smaller area in the back is a bibliophiles paradise with a large selection of books. Thrifting is enjoying a resurgence as a cool hobby. There are a ton of Instagram videos showing how you can have a business thrifting or how to style and transform thrifted items. A can of spray paint can give just about any item new life. I really love thrifting at this large, clean, and well organized Goodwill. I have been coming here for years and it keeps getting better and better. Goodwill has even added new items to complete their thrift inventory. Right now they have a ton of holiday decor and clothing. If you need an inexpensive ugly sweater for a holiday party, there is a great selection here. Not only can you find a unique bargain but you are repurposing items and keeping them out of the landfill while helping the community through your purchase at the same time.

    Big Goodwill location.

    I was in the area and decided to drive around and check out Oakland Park. Stopped by the Goodwill to see what book treasures they had. Let me tell you, what a freaking nice Goodwill this is! I was pleasantly surprised with the massive book section all the way in the back on the right side. They had about six racks of books and several books scattered on the table in the middle. I was literally in heaven. Everything was so nicely organized, and there was an abundance of books that I wanted. This store had so many good selections, I really couldn't believe my luck! I started off by just browsing. When my stack became way too high to carry, I went and grabbed a shopping cart. When I went to the front to get the cart, I stopped and asked the cashier about the pricing for the books. I noticed all the books has stickers, but most had letters or specific numbers on them. The cashier, Brian, clarified that handbooks $2, paperbacks $1 and cookbooks $3. There maybe some books priced differently and those are noted with specific numbers which indicate the pricing. Now I got it. Went back and scanned every single book to make sure I grabbed the ones I wanted. It got to the point where I had no joke, about 20 books. Lol. I had to downsize. Although I continue to build my personal home library, I didn't need all these books. I was good and looked everything over again. I ended up with 9 books I was content with. Went to check out and Brian rang me up. My book haul cost me a measly $18!!! Such a great score! All in all, this Goodwill in Oakland Park is super nice and incredibly organized. Not just the books but EVERYTHING!!! Great job on the upkeep of this store Goodwill. I hope to be back soon to see what new books they have.

    I am not usually a shopper of Goodwill items, but I wanted to check this store out to see if they had anything interesting in their home section. As you walk in, the women's section takes the majority of the front of the store, then you can see the men's section to the left and then all the way in the back they have a section of home goods. That section is not really big, but they do have a few items that some might call vintage, some might call them cheap. The selection and inventory changes often due to the incoming donations, so if you are looking for something in here, check periodically.

    So, this is a review for the Goodwill Drop Off at Galt Ocean Mile. I didn't find a Yelp page for this location. Anyways, I've been donating here for many years now and the personnel are always nice and efficient and the inside is clean. It is only accepting donations, there is no store. They offer receipts. Today I left some clothes. Highly recommend using this service!:)

So, I was…read morethrilled to see Julian's Fountain of Treasures Thrift Store take up the location with even a higher end of high-end second time around clothing selection. And to even make me more excited to do business with Julian's Fountain of Treasures Thrift Store, it's none profit in support of LGBTQ+ youth who now, in this time of pandemic, need all the help they can get. When I entered the store, I was given a warm greeting by Julian, himself, and a member of his staff. Right away, I felt that these were people I'd like to do business with and to support their efforts on behalf of LGBTQ+ youth. The store is small but full of really nice top end items at more than bargain prices. I purchased a really nice polo style shirt that appeared new and would easily retail for $150.00 for a mere $18.00. As Julian's Fountain of Treasures Thrift Store has such an enviable clothing selection at such bargain prices, staffed with such friendly people and supporting such a good cause, it's a solid Yelp Five Stars in my book.

It's tiny, but arranged so you can walk between the racks. If you didn't know it, you might think it was a boutique. All the clothes look freshly cleaned and pressed on hangers. Because it benefits an admirable cause for LBTQ youth, I really would have liked to buy something here. Prices are not inexpensive -- although there was a $5 sale rack outside. However, many of the shirts (including all the Hawaiian patterned ones) are manly designer brands. Unfortunately, we didn't see anything my husband liked. In the other hand, we had a nice chat with the man that was there who told us about the collective across the street -- and that that store benefits the same charity.

Quality clothes!! Another reason was that I wanted to get tested but unfortunately, they were closed on Sundays which was disappointing since the website said they opened till 6pm. Regardless I drove to Ft Laud, got my test and why did I not leave? I ended up buying shoes, brand new cups for my drinks that I can carry to work, a wooden chopping board, Christmas decorations, and vintage signs. I had a ball. I'm inspired to declutter some more because I know my small contribution is going to a good cause versus dropping it off at a regular thrift store. The staff was super nice. I mean super!! Even when I got tested, the person took the time to go over so many things I didn't know and was very much educated on, and will be visiting the following Sunday to discuss. There's such a stigma around HIV, getting tested, and talking about these in my community but these are real issues that need to be spoken about openly. I'm so appreciative of this organization and will only be donating to the closet.

    Today was a thrift shop hunt with some light eats in Fort Lauderdale. The name "Out of the Closet"…read moreis a metaphor or idiom, it's one of them but really not sure which. The thrift shop has a wide open floor plan with low racks for easy navigation through the inventory. Plenty of gently used clothing with corner displays of household goods. I found an incredible skulls and roses 2X collar shirt for only $12.00, but of course it was manufactured in China and my arms could not push through the sleeves - this is a common issue for me. Good supply of Halloween ornaments and Pride costumes. All items are priced very reasonably. The shop offers a clinic for free HIV testing including a full service pharmacy. The thrift shop is a non-profit business and all proceeds go toward AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

They are located in a street mall, which will be destroyed, and in the same location will be two five-story buildings (the City of Oakland Park is approving the construction).

You barely can walk inside. I do not recommend this place. First, they are unfriendly; second, they are rude; and third, the energy inside is very negative. This place gave me the creeps!

If you are looking for couture, high end, handbag heaven then this 2,000 sq. foot store is it. They specializes in bags with names like Burberry, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Gucci, Prada, Valentino, and Fendi. Everything is guaranteed to be authentic. The have new and pre owned bags. On the day I visited a new $6,000, caviar navy Chanel bag was being photographed and uploaded to the stores Instagram. A Yelp check in will net you a coupon for $75 off of a Chanel or a Louis Vuitton bag, It's definitely one of the highest check in offers I have ever seen. In addition to purses they also sell clothing, shoes, and jewelry. This is not your average thrift store, a pre owned handbag can still sell here for $1,000 but they had a few bags in the $200 range. There was even a clearance table with a selection of bags on it. At any given time they have 400 bags in stock to chose from. If you have a high end designer bag they will purchase yours too if you are interested in selling. During my visit I got a chance to chat with the owner Sandra who is an absolute sweetheart. She answered all my questions and let me take all the pictures I wanted. She even let me touch the $6,000 Chanel bag. If the bag is a consignment piece Sandra can't lower the price but if it is one of her bags she will work with you. It doesn't hurt to ask. You get a certificate of authenticity with your purchase so you can rest assured you are getting the real deal. Ultimately I didn't buy anything. If I have an extra grand to kick around I want the I Phone 11 pro but if money were no object, I would have a piece of arm candy from here.
