    It's overpriced and the staff are kind of snobbish. But what are you gonna do? It's a thrift store.

    Top of the line clothing and home decor. The volunteers who work up front are so friendly and helpful. Great non-profit organization.

    Prices are much higher than I remember. Geared mostly towards women. No furniture. No returns. Buy it, you're stuck with it.

    Pretty good finds, cheapest thing on the street! Lots of good books and tons of clothes (always 50% off). Recommend peaking in time to time!

    You've got to love Goodwill. I live near Midway Airport but decided to take a weekend stroll up to…read moreEvanston, and this was one of my stops. I'll be honest -- I was pleasantly surprised to visit, but not necessarily because of the items. When the store first opened that morning, it was already pretty messy. Compared to other Goodwill locations I've visited, this one felt much less organized. The store itself was clean, but the racks were chaotic. Clothes were hanging off the racks or scattered, and several employees walked past without straightening things up, which was a little frustrating. I'm used to Goodwills having neat aisles where you can browse comfortably, and this one just didn't have that same level of organization. That said, I do want to give credit where it's due. One employee who stood out was Yareli, the cashier. I wanted to buy an item that required an electrical component, and she was kind enough to go through the electrical section to see if she could find the piece I needed. She couldn't locate it, but when I mentioned that I had the part in my car, she kindly allowed me to step outside and retrieve the piece I needed and ahe held the item at the front. I went out to my car, got the adaptor and came back and tested it, and the light worked perfectly. That small act of kindness really made the experience better. To Yareli's manager: that's exactly how an employee wins over customers -- through patience, kindness, and genuine helpfulness. Prices are a little higher at thia location, but still competitive.

    A pretty good location. Lots of stock; probably a lot of stuff that NW students are dumping at the…read moreend of the year! Definitely worth a peek if you're a thrifter and in Evanston.
