    Smaller store than I expected, but for a secondhand store, I've had the best experience here! I found three items that I loved and purchased all for $51- fair prices! Service was good, owner was sweet & talkative. ** this place is not located in the front of the complex, it's down the hall as seen in the photo!!

    The front of Bees Knees

    Driving on 16th street and what do I see?...a store with obvious charm and vintage fun , I whisper " that place is cool " , my husband being the smart guy he is says "Do you want to go ? "YES" I yell . It was a wonderful moment . And he immediately obliges with a u turn executed with finesse. We arrive back at the Bees Knees and I fall in love with the murals running on the sides of the building , a giant bee , a whimisical skull , a graphic mural ... Dee-- Lightful . Confession: I love vintage clothes , big bold patterns , amazing textures , great details ...it calls to me .... Stores that sell vintage clothes make me happy. Stores that sell cool old clothes that don't smell like attics are even more wonderful. The Bees Knees has impressive racks of womens and mens clothes with funky hipness that screams UNIQUENESS. Prices are very reasonable , wide range of sizes and the qualtiy is good. Not everything is old , but the colors and lines are interesting and hip. They also sell local artist jewelry , purses knick knacks and such. I found a beaded full skirt that has amazing textures as well as a bold print floral that is perfect for work. hubby found a Marvin the Martian shirt that was amazing but the wrong size. The Site also host a art space called the Hive. You never know what might be buzzing back there. ( I aplogize for the obvious.)

    What a gem! Such an insightful owner who's genuinely dedicated to the art scene in the area; followed up with great suggestions on things to do throughout the day. Everything's neatly kept and well priced, definitely must-see if you're interested in the raw, local scene of Phoenix.

    Neighborly fun place

    This place had some pretty cool stuff. The store is well organized, and the staff was very friendly, as well.

    I'm an avid thrifter but don't have a lot of experience with Goodwill specifically, but I always…read moreenjoy my experiences at this Goodwill! As mentioned in other reviews, there's ample parking and usually homeless people outside. They haven't bothered me or other patrons. There's a bathroom that requires a passcode, probably as an anti-homeless measure... I'm not sure how large other Goodwills tend to be, but I'm always able to walk out of the store with something decent. I've purchased bowls and dishes for about $1/piece, dresses for $8 avg, skirts for about $7 avg, tops for $6 avg. I've even purchased 2 suit sets for $10 each -- 100% silk and 100% wool respectively! Always happy with my experience at this store, although it's more expensive than I'd like a thrift store to be (then again maybe that's just the world we live in, in general). Note: if you donate a bag of clothes, you can get a 20% off coupon, although sometimes the cashier hooks me up with the coupon anyway!

    Way before covid, the goodwill on Peoria, in peoria Az took theyr Career Center out of the store,…read moredue to low staffing. Then we had Covid and they now are saying the dressing rooms cant be opened back up because of that! You purchase something at goodwill for a BIG price, you cant try it on, and you have a week to bring it back, AND you only get store credit, they win twice, they get the item and you have to spend the money at goodwill. They dont have the big sales like the 3rd week of the month, at 50 or 75% off! Why not? I know goodwill is a non proffitt and supposed to pay a percentage of theyr earnings but, a friend of mine works where they send the money and goodwill hadnt paid in a couple years. Goodwill needs to come down on theyr prices, way to hi. stop taking cords of the radios, hooks off shower curtains, and so on, sell them with the item it came with. STOP PUTTING THE TAGS ON THE FRONT OF READING GLASSES and ON TOP SOMETHING THAT HAS A LOGAL. I could say more but i will stop here.

    It's clean, organized and the odor is not as bad as other Goodwill sites. The layout is good and…read morespacing is better than other Goodwill sites, as well. Prices are getting out-of-hand, but that seems to be the case at other Goodwill locations, too. There is nothing wrong with Goodwill's for-profit business model, but they need to keep in mind their base cost of goods sold.
