Went to see this store last Sunday but an online site listed their hours as opening at 10:30 am- luckily I had arrived at around 11:55 am to find out that they opened at noon. I opted to wait til they opened.
The store was clean and organized in my opinion. Evidently there is an issue with theft- not surprising because- well- Hazleton. Need I say more? Signage on walls directed to thieves (tag switching and threats of being banned from the store)
The store is very small and the section I like the most- home decor- was extremely small. I saw a very old cookie jar priced at almost 15$ which I considered high. Along with some glass plates- a set of 4 for 10$. But I guess like everywhere else the honest get punished by footing the bill for thieves. I could do better at the dollar store. I get that Good Will accepts used items but I personally found a good bit of the women's clothing to be in poor condition with a lot of pilling on the garments.
I did ask a worker there if they were accepting donations. My former Good Will in Collegeville actually stops accepting because they are so flooded with donations. The woman I asked seemed annoyed with me and was curt. Guess who won't be donating here? I'll drop my things off in the metal boxes near my Hometown Walmart- former location of the great Laneco- when- back in the day my dad observed with this witty question - "where else can you buy a head of lettuce and a tire iron?!" Back then- NOWHERE!!I digress. . .
I'm not inclined to go back. If I were nearby I would possibly drop in, but the experience was pretty disappointing overall. I saw some interesting items but left without purchasing anything. read more
