Goodwill Industries

I absolutely love this particular Goodwill store for many reasons. First reason being is their customer service. Every time I walk through the door I am greeted with a, «Welcome to Goodwill» and a smile. They make me feel as if I’m going to see my friends who just happen to have great things to buy. Jessica, the assistant manager, I believe (If not, she definitely deserves to be), has literally helped me to transform my look by not only encouraging me with her compliments but also by her own style. Her upbeat personality is infectious as she says her trademark, «woo hoo» after every announcement making the shopping experience fun for everyone. The store is ALWAYS clean and organized, so it makes shopping almost effortless compared to other recycled stores. From management to the warehouse crew. they are all eager to help in any way they can and that is what makes me continue to come back.

Had a devastating experience there yesterday. I found an American Girl doll in «The Glass Case» and said I wanted it for my Grandaughter. They told me I could not take it with me while I shopped and had to leave it behind the counter. To make a long story short — I excitedly told my Grandaughter about it and I kept checking on it as I shopped because it was casually thrown behind the counter. I noticed it was no longer there and panicked. It had been sold to someone else! To make matters worse, the staff behind the counter were like, «oh well, we don’t know what happened, you’re outta luck». Important lesson learned: BUY IT RIGHT THEN AND PUT IT IN YOUR CAR! No one took any responsibility for it.

Worth the stop. I’ve found Free People clothes, countless good books and nice scarves. But you can also go in and not find anything. So spend your time wisely.

Best of the bunch here in SC. Pricing is high but so is the rent here off Mallrat Way.

This Goodwill is well run, clean, and organized. It is an asset to the 41^st Ave corridor which has so much generic stuff in the way of clothes and kitchen sources. While I don’t always understand their pricing set-​up, I have scored some wonderful items for me and my family. I got an amazing leather jacket for 12 bucks and a slick Italian sportcoat for my son also for $ 12. Parking can be a drag, but that’s not their fault… The workers are friendly the seasonal stuff is fun as well. I try to stop in at least once a month to either donate stuff or pick up something new.

First time I go to a Goodwill store to shop. I give it 3.5 stars. I’m trying to find ways to save and be smart about money. If the economy changes, I too have to change.
–This store would be great for someone who is creative and likes to work with crafts. They have a few isles of household items. Some items just need a little cleaning/​painting (TLC).
–Just when I thought books couldn’t get cheaper than Amazon (Nothing against Amazon). Books at this Goodwill are $ 1 and $ 3. I just purchased a book from Suze Orman for $ 3. It is new, with CD and still has the plastic wrap. Too cool!
–Clothes are okay, make sure you go home and wash it first. Clothes here are smelly. It helps if you know about brands, fabrics and/​or if you know how to sew. I purchased a nice shirt for the house for less than $ 4. (not bad, it’s nice and clean and it’s thick cotton).
–It’s nice to know that your donation and/​or purchase goes to help others in the community.
–Staff was friendly.
–I do plan to go again, I know I will find more goodies…

It’s Goodwill… what can I say? I got a sweet B.U.M. equipment shirt here for a 80’s party. It was $ 4 which was a little pricey for an old shirt. But, I am assuming it’s due to being located in Cap. I am hoping for an ugly sweater party. They have a huge selection of Christmas paraphernalia.

This Goodwill is what feels like a newer strip mall. Parking is limited — I visited on a Friday, early afternoon, and there weren’t too many open spaces. I have to wonder what it’s like on a weekend … although I didn’t make note of what other businesses are in the center, so maybe those bring in a lot of traffic on weekdays but not on weekends? Dunno.
The store is clean, well lit, and organized. The prices are reasonable and there are some good deals to be found. In about 20 minutes in the store, I left with a cotton cardigan, a skirt, and a pair of pants for $ 7.
The staff were friendly and offered help without being annoying, and gave off a feeling of good humour (which is so rare in thrift stores, so often the staff — esp in the bigger «chain» thrifts — are sullen and uncommunicative at best, snotty or rude at worst!).

don’t even think about going to this overpriced turd.

a great thrift in SC!
they just remodeled and hired very friendly helpful new staff. they always have good stuff at this location, i dont know how or why. there is better stuff than the downtown location or salvation army for sure.

Fun and friendly. Great stress reliever!

Always a good place to go when your in a pinch. Usually name-​brand items in the «teen» section (although I am not a teen anymore, i have found great deals).
Carry a lot of American Eagle Jeans (my favorite) always about $ 7.25 or so.
I’ve got some awesome A& F clothing – not a big fan of their retail prices, but $ 12.95 for a nice jacket is not too bad compared to easily $ 50-​$ 150.
They have a good assortment of furniture, pots/​pans, books (I get books often there-​$ 1! Cant beat that!) Nick-​nacks, misc household items, shoes, t-​shirts, linens.
Always reasonably priced, usually in good condition.
Good place to go to get name-​brand and not name-​brand items for cheap and a good place to save a buck.
I look at it as a huge yard sale. Its great and they always have deals there too. They have a big sign that has you know, «buy 2, get 1 free, half off womens clothes, half off furniture… and so on.»
The staff is helpful and nice. Always inform you of the deal of the day.

one of the cheapest thrift stores i’ve ever met. they have a rack of men’s tees and polos 3/​$ 1. Women’s shirts are almost all $ 3.25, dresses are $ 5.25.
It’s not a very big store. the electronics selection is minimal. i came to buy a robe, i ended up with 2 lightweight ones for $ 5.25 each.
they accept credit cards.
they close at 6:00 pm on sunday.

Now here is what I remember what a Goodwill store is all about! The staff are friendly and helpful. The prices here are much better than the store in Santa Cruz (see that review under SANTA CRUZ GOODWILL STORE, not Goodwill Industries) – curious as to why (lower rent??). They have a cute catchall section featuring small furniture, lamps, electronics, etc that is usually fun and interesting. And the Daisy Chain thrift store is nearby – some fun stuff there.
