So overpriced!! I know this organization is to help build houses for poor people but couldn't they…read morehelp furnish houses with what they have in their stores for poor people also? Prices are ridiculous! I had to give a one star rating otherwise I would have gave none. Another organization that's become greedy like Goodwill.

I was about to give this ReStore branch a merely fair 3-star review, but I decided that my reason…read morewasn't really fair so I added a star. I will say why below. Anyway, we are in the process of expanding our living space and will need a few additional sticks of furniture, so we drove to Bangor to check it out as part of our periodic trip to "the big city." Their items are in one large warehouse-looking space. They had a good variety of items: furniture, housewares, tools and building supplies, and so on. They had a lot of new tools and painting supplies. Not sure why - items they didn't use for one of their house builds, maybe? The tables and bureaus we checked out looked a bit knocked about for the prices they were asking, but we are used to thrift store or similar sources, and prices are higher everywhere these days in our current economy. We will probably check back at some point if we don't fill our needs elsewhere. We bought a few smaller items, however, with prices that were more in line with what we expected. The "unfair" reasons I mentioned for almost rating it lower was twofold. We lived in Florida for several years by mistake (because of the hot summers and the local politics), but there was a ReStore we really like there and went to often. There was a showroom area made up of several rooms containing separate types of items. There was also a partially covered outside area where there was more furniture and building materials. With no snow or frigid temperatures they can get away with that. The second reason I was less impressed had to do with the entire strip mall. There is no restroom in any of the ten or so businesses in this strip mall. So if it takes you an hour or more to get there like it does for us, you may need to stop somewhere else first if you need a pit stop. But it is all for a good cause and certainly worth a return trip if we need to.

As you could tell from my previous reviews below, I tend to cut Goodwill some slack for slightly…read morehigher prices because they hire persons with disabilities, like my daughter, and help others, while many thrift stores depend upon volunteers to keep prices low. And during my most recent visit to this branch of Goodwill, they had more selection in men's clothing than in the recent past. But still, I have to admit the clothing prices surprised and dismayed me. $10 each for used t-shirts and sweat pants? I had found new sweat pants online for that price and free shipping, but thought I would check Goodwill. Oh well. Then ai found some at the Sally army thrift store for under $4 each and bought three pair. So if looking for particular non-clothing items, Inwill keep Goodwill as an option. For my clothes, not so much.

Prices are much higher than expected from a second hand shop. Buyers and donators should be aware…read morethat they are supporting an ultra wealthy family.
