    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.

Malcom's great too, but you can't help but feel happy to shop with such light that shines from Josiah. There are a million things in there to buy. It is like TJMx , RS and HomeG had a baby and all the good qualities are mixed into one store. The selection of gift options were solid. There are some good bargains and super bargains if you like the hunt. I was also really impressed by how quickly the line moved and the cashier's friendly attitude. I will be back on the days I need a build up positive attitude mostly. That young man should work at Dutch Bros. God bless him for the light he shines.

They tried to say it was all the security's fault even though he was just doing his job!! even his fellow coworkers were doing the most especially the old lady!. saying for him to leave and it was all his fault he literally did nothing but his job. He was sent home, berated and belittled. He's always so respectful and full of energy when we come to this location and for everyone to go against him is outrageous he's never been rude to anyone and we go to this location a lot. He deserved better!!!!

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!

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.

This is the first time…read moreI had visited this location and similar to other outstanding locations in the valley, this location is very well organized, clean, and well lit. I mostly focus on men's clothing, including suits, shirts, ties, and belts, and this was a decent location for those items. Unfortunately they mostly carry sport coats with very few matched suits. My homeboy was able to find a really nice suit right when we walked in but after 10 or 15 minutes of perusing the rack, I was not as lucky. It was also towards the end of the day and I'm pretty sure with the 50% off sale there were a lot of shoppers that likely combed through the racks before we got to them. They have the full array of both men's and women's clothing, housewares, sporting goods, kitchen wars, etc.. they also had some furniture items, including a couple of love seats and couches. This location also had more bikes and sporting equipment then I am used to seeing.
