This store has been around for quite sometime. Recently visited and it is a little packed to capacity and somewhat disorganized clutter. If you visit o advise spending a few hours here just to attempt to get through each section. read more

This is probably one of the smallest and not as clean Goodwills I have been to. There is a large parking lot, which is nice, but it can get pretty crowded with the people coming in and out. The selection is VERY limited and it feels kind of dirty and disorganized in here, despite the usual items being organized by category and size. Staff helping me at the register was friendly. I think you're better off going to Salvation Army next door. read more

I have visited this store numerous times since they did a floor move and changed the fixtures around. I used to buy stuff here all the time before they moved stuff around. SInce the move the merchandise has become lower grade, and I quit spending here. The store is a mess and nolonger has the organized sales floor it once had. read more

Love this goodwill, they always have a variety of stuff and everything is well priced. All the employees are friendly and I always stop to wander around in here whenever I'm in this shopping center. Ive been needing to replace my snowboard and I found one in really good shape for $15! read more

Decided to go out of my way and go to this Pleasant Hill location. What a gem!! On my first visit I scored some Adidas Samba OG Kith classics & a vintage Coach wallet, among other things. On my second visit, I scored...LISTEN UP...an authentic Longchamp Le Pliage in excellent condition for $10, some cute Saks Fifth Avenue sandals, a Free People wool hat, & some 100% linen pants. I've seen so many amazing brands while there...Rag & Bone, Anthropologie, Patagonia, Aritzia among others. Remember, Tuesdays they give seniors a 30% discount...I took my mom!!! What makes this location even better is that it has the Salvation Army across the street and a Youth Homes Thrift Shop...also great thrift stores! read more

Goodwill Store & Donation Center - Center of center near Grocery outlet. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Purchased a TV series on dvd and as soon as I purchased it I realized it was in Spanish. The employee would not let me return it or give me store credit. She said they do not return electronics..I had literally JUST bought it. read more

One of the better Goodwill stores I've been to. It was organized and clean and I didn't notice any clutter. I also found a lot of good bargain buys for thrift store prices. (3pc deviled egg platters for $9.99, a pair of brand new butter melters for $2.99, etc...) Staff were friendly. They do have a private parking lot but shared with other businesses. It was pretty packed for a mid-week non-peak hour. Lucked out and found parking right up front, though. Street parking also available if you don't mind the walk. It was a good first visit. Keeping them in mind next time I'm around the area. read more

Goodwill Store & Donation Center - Thrift Stores Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

The staff at this Goodwill donation center are slothful and unprofessional. If you have an item that they don't accept, they are rude about it. We are there to give DONATIONS to charity. We are not doing Goodwill a favor by giving them a donation. Maybe Goodwill employees should have a humble and charitable attitude? I will take my donations elsewhere! read more

After browsing for an hour I found out there were no fitting rooms! Also all women's dresses were at least $30, at least for those few that did have price tags on them. Also not sorted by size so I wasted even more time sifting. Who would buy thrift clothes, known to be less wanted and therefore more likely to have issues, without even the chance to try them on?! read more

Really unpleasant man at the donation drop off. Was a total control freak about lining our car up exactly. I asked him why it matters since we will be taking the items out of our car and putting in their basket. He literally had no work to do as I unloaded so why did he care so much? Only to exhibit control. No thank you! Sir, let me remind you that I'm giving these items for free so goodwill can sell them and pay your paycheck. Stop acting disrespectful to people donating. It's just as easy to drive across the street to Salvation Army, or down the road to hospice thrift shop or St Paul's. There's a lot of choices to bring my donations to and Goodwill is no longer it. Aren't you supposed to be learning skills? Someone needs to teach this man customer service and gratitude. Bye goodwill and surly man. read more

We need better pricing at Goodwill. I don't know if it's coming from corporate or people on site but $9.99 for a women's used long sleeve t-shirt that is less expensive at Walmart or on sale at Target is not ideal. $8.99 for a cheap plastic used kids toy - should be a buck. The store is always clean and the staff has always been courteous. read more

In doing some spring cleaning, my husband and I had a ton of clothes and shoes we wanted to give away. The staff here was amazing and we even found a few kitchen items we liked that we ended up getting. Overall, everything was very organized and we appreciate having places like this in the community, especially given these times we're living in. read more

This is an A-OK Goodwill. I like the donation center (on the side of the building), and it is easy to load and unload from its location. Some of the employees at the donation center are sticklers for the rules and will deny certain items that other ones will accept. I know Goodwill has standards, but I think the enforcing of those standards is inconsistent. In my case I consider it a win as more of my donations will get accepted than rejected because of this inconsistency. The store leaves a bit to be desired though. It is busy often, messy, and slow lines. The messy aspect is because of the business I'd assume, its hard to put things back in order when customers prefer to scatter everything and leave it laying around. Still, that is part of presentation and something that retail shops need to do. I've gotten to the point that when I want to actually shop at a Goodwill I'll skip this one and go to the one on Clayton Road even though it can be a bit out of my way. I will also look at what they sell online too, sometimes they have some good deals. read more

Goodwill Store & Donation Center - Front entrance. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

I had a very positive experience with goodwill. They took our stuff with no expectations; it was super easy! Staff was friendly as well.

For a dare I needed rubber rain boots. On Tuesday, I entered this Goodwill. Low and behold, a beautiful shining pair of almost new rain boots sat upon the shelf. On Wednesday, yes the next day, I found out that I had been successfully put onto the elite discotheque guest list for Thursday. Yes, the Thursday after the current Wednesday. Now, for me that wasn't a big deal. I happen to have a disco outfit ready at all times. However, I suddenly needed an entire disco outfit for a boy and in less than 24 hours. I grabbed him and we set out on a mission. I considered going into the Salvation Army store next door because I had just been to the goodwill the day before. SA was closed. Drat. I slowly made my way back over to the goodwill, carrying my empty case of optimism. Our first stop was in the men's shoes. I made my way around the rack. At the bottom I spied an almost orange leather slip on shoe. It looked rather large but screamed 70's. I picked it up and the size inside read "10". Now, the boy wears a 12 so my hope sank. I dropped it on the floor and told him to try it just in case. It fit. I felt a little burst of joy and then realized that there was only one groovy shoe in this equation. I dug around and its mate appeared under a few other lone rangers. Now pants. There is no rhyme or reason, just hangers and hangers of pants. I scanned for anything loud or bell bottomed. I pulled out a few pairs. The boy grabbed one and headed into the nearest dressing closet. I could hear him struggling with the first pair he had grabbed. I started un-hooking an interesting pair of trousers I had just discovered. No size. Hmpff. I threw them over the top of the door and told him to give them a shot. The next thing I heard was giggling. Me, "I hear you giggling in there." Him, "Uh, yep. I'm giggling alright." He swung the door open and oh my goodness. I was suddenly audience to the most sexy pair of polyester slacks that I've ever seen in real life. They somehow knew exactly where to be snug in all the wrong but oh so right places. I started cracking up. Me, "Oh those are them. Score." Next the top and again, just a sea of hangers. I was looking for the biggest collar I could find. A shirtless guy entered the store, followed closely behind by a guy with a sideways cap on. They were both giggling. I think the ambiance was a bit too much for them though; the latter turned around and headed right back out. Shirtless one yelled out, "Haaeyyyy, where you going?" Sideways cap yelled back, "There's a liquor store right over there." Shirtless got excited and bolted towards the door. I resumed my collar hunt. I was not having any luck. Then the boy held up a lovely, pale yellow top. Complete with orange embroidery and front stomach pockets. I giggled again. "What is that?" He shrugged. He put it on and buttoned it entirely too much. I ripped it open a few buttons and I knew we were set. They even had a braided leather belt in stock. Although it probably won't be seen much, it is hiding under there. $25 We both ran to the car and pulled out the hand sanitizer. I dare you to go into a Goodwill store and not have a good time. read more

Goodwill Store & Donation Center - Found it all here. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

The donating process at this location was one of the best we've ever had. We called in a few hours beforehand to make sure they were accepting donations as many locations have certain donation hours or are at capacity. When we arrived, we saw the designated donation area clearly marked and someone actually came out with a cart to help us bring things in. Super happy with the experience as it has been surprisingly difficult to find easy places to donate to. I can't speak to how the actual store is but I'll definitely be back to donate! read more

Atrociously overpriced clothing, and hardly ever any deals. Why is a T shirt from somebody's graduation in 2012 7$?

This review is for every Goodwill store and their corrupt leaders. How on earth can one justify the constant price hike at Goodwill stores. Everything is off the roof and this supposed to be an organisation tending to the need of underprivileged in the society. How can a single mother of several kids afford anything at your stores? Your prices are even higher than Target and Ross.The corporate leaders that have no empathy and compassion keep lining their pockets and getting outrageous pay increase everytime. This organisation sucks and I think it is time for FTC to look closely into the atrocities going on. Most of the employees are rude and partly due to the low morale as they feel unappreciated by the Corporate. Shame on you. read more

Found so many great things. For $10 I got a 4 piece mug from Williams Sonoma in PERFECT condition and also 4 big, 4 small plates and 4 mugs ... all Christmas and made in Italy... excellent condition read more

This place is always organized, donations are accepted all day long and you don't need to make an appointment

By far my favorite Goodwill! they're always organized and i've had good finds! Employees are nice! found a brand new Whirlpool mini fridge for $40! also found a Keurig k10 in like new condition for $12! can't beat that read more

This is a smaller Goodwill than most that I've visited. Items were organized, clearly priced, and it seemed like they were restocking items. For some reason I felt this location was pricier than other Goodwill stores. Staff was attentive and acknowledged their customers, which I appreciated. read more

I was surprised at how customer focused a Goodwill store can be! The employees greet the people who walk in the door and are pleasant and friendly at the cash wrap. Items are organized and don't have price tags -- just colored plastic tagging barbs that correspond to the prices posted at the end of the racks. You can donate items in the back and ask for a donation slip. There is parking both in the lot that is shared with other businesses, as well as parking on the side streets. read more

The employees are very nice, but the clothes are WAY too expensive. A men's t-shirt is $7, but you can get one for $2 at the salvation army next door. I will not be shopping at goodwill until they lower their prices. read more

Stopped by to leave a donation of shoes, clothes and lots of household items. There was a long line to drop off as they have you stop at sign and wait for the attendent! Atleast thecsin says to wait for attendent but he is off doing other stuff. Mind me hevis working but if u have a ling line and it says to wait someone should be attending. You have to ask where to put stuff because he gives no direction. Shoes and clothes are seperated in ine bin household in another. After i unloaded a few bags i remembered i forgot 1 bag in my back seat and literally just made a u turn and walked across the street to drop off bag. No one was outside dropping off they were in there car. I tried to hand him bag he did not take so i walked over to put in bin. He told me in a smart tone that next time i needed to wait in line!! hmmm i did! I explained i was in line but forgot an item and did not want to wait again. He said NO i saw you park across the street you were not in line!! OMG made me angry! Here i took the time to bring nice stuff and i am treated like crap! Next donation i will go to Hospice my go to! Done!! read more

I like getting really involved with my job. Sometimes I get to dress up for things like Awards Ceremonies, Conventions, Luncheons. Anything that can have some kind of theme attached to it Ill try and dress up for it. I have a Convention that is themed "Winter Wonderland." So my first thought was get an old wedding dress and then sew on dazzling bling to make my a fancy new Winter Princess Gown. Well their selection of gowns was quite large and there was one in particular that would have been perfect....if it was 2 sizes smaller. The skirt was so perfect. It so billowy and bouncy. It was just to big and it was $70.00. Not worth the effort to bring it in and then make it into the Winter Ice Queen gown I needed it to be. If it had fit then I would be telling you a different story. I'm scouring the consignments for that perfect wedding gown for the right price and fit. read more

Goodwill Store & Donation Center - Thrift Stores Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Yes folks they've been renovated. But best I can tell renovations only included an automatic door, moving of the dressing room from one side to another, splitting up the counter and moving some of the racks around. Same place, same vibe. I don't really see much difference overall. I don't come here so much because I've found that they're a little high priced for items that aren't checked for rips and stains (and I've found plenty). I also dislike how they staple the tags to the clothing. They do however have a great shoe section which has only grown after the renovation, but again the shoes are high priced for used footwear. So three stars for their hours and their new automatic doors. The old one's kinda scared me. read more

I make a lot of my Goodwill drop-off donations here. So much so, that Gayle has joked that my picture must be posted here as "Our Benefactor". That may be a bit of an overstatement, although I do reorganize my "stuff" fairly frequently. This Goodwill is convenient (on the side street) for easy drive in and out donations. The folks at the donation site will question a little bit more than the folks at say the truck behind Nob Hill in Martinez or the El Cerrito Recycling Center, but my goods usually pass their test. Receipt required. The clean and well-run store itself is worth a look, along with the nearby Salvation Army Store. read more

F.Y.I. I learned that Walnut Creek Goodwill is suggesting that all furniture be taken to Concord Park and Shop. On another note. The shelves in the back seem to be empty, donating seems high but the restocking is very low. What's up???? And one friendly face in donations is an older guy who smiles and greets me every time. read more

This is one of my go to donation drop off spots. It is conveniently located, almost always open and I am usually in and out quickly.

The prices of their items don't make sense. A t-shirt is $3, but then a long sleeve is $7. No thanks, I'll "thrift" at a real thrift store.

Went here with a Thrifting Friend to score some deals. I had been here before and found things a few years ago and was excited to find more. Not anymore...purses - $7.95??? Seriously?? Ladies tops -$4.95 and more??? What part of "Thrift" did Goodwill forget?? I only got three things and then we were OUT of THERE and on our way next door where they have heard of the word "Thrift." Sorry GW..you disapointed this Thrifty Girl.... read more

Ehhhhhhhhh Goodwill! Why haven't I found a Goodwill that has impressed me yet? They're small, grundgy, overwhelmingly overpicked, and disorganized. Of course if you look hard enough you will stumble upon treasure. But man this is a lot of trash to dig through to find treasure. The women's section is terribly outdated. and none of that vintage-old-but-i'm-still-hipster-cool outdated clothes. Just...grundgy old clothes. Lack of household items, cluttered disorganized mess all over the store. Small aisles, cramped racks, and on and on :[ read more

Very easy to drop off donations. It's done on the side street of the store (don't park in the parking lot). There's ample loading space, the street is wide and not too busy. It took me less than 2 mins to offload 3 boxes of goods. Thank you for making it easy to donate and offload things I no longer need, but that might be used for a good cause. read more

I have been donating my items to this store for the last 6 years. Will bring donations elsewhere from here on. I entered this store on Sun., June 14th and was immediately "scolded" by a female cashier (in a very rude manner) informing me that they are not accepting donations. This amazed me as their business model depends on donations. I did call the store after leaving to report this incident...hopefully they have retrained her. read more

One of the best Goodwill's I have been to in Contra Costa county! It was my first time here, I was in the neighborhood, and decided to check it out. My number one reason being that I love rescuing books! From the moment I stepped inside, I was overwhelmed by everything. From their selection of bags and purses, to knick knacks, and OMG the books! I did not have a chance to go through the clothes. The book section had its own room. I had intended to be in and out, but oh man did I hit the mother load on their book selection! After check out, I spoke with the manager, Reina, to let her know how impressed I was with the layout and organization of the store. She was so nice and a pleasure to speak with. This Goodwill is getting underplayed, people need to check it out, and give it a chance! I will be back and I will be bringing my friends and family! Thank you! read more

Despite their rennovations, I'd still have to say this place is shady, and a bit unorganized. Unlike their Dublin countertop things aren't really itemized or coordinated by color. So I guess if you really want to find something you gotta dig. I was able to find a t-shirt for the 90's party I'm throwing but that's about it. Oh and don't forget your anti-bacterial gel and a nice shower when you get home, you'll need it! read more
