Goodwill Store of Plano

I’ve been to many thrift stores and this one gets the award for most nastiest thrift store. It smells really bad, the floors are dirty, the employees are rude. I stood at the end of an aisle waiting for a staff member who was throwing stuff on the shelves to acknowledge my presence and me wanting to pass her but she just glanced over at me and kept «working». I finally had to say pretty loud, «excuse me» and she finally moved. Really?
The prices were a little too high to be a thrift store. The clothes were just nasty and the show section smelled like a gym locker. This place needs some serious help.

Large location with convenient hours. Not much of a selection for men, and with the exception of the clothes racks the store is pretty messy. I am not expecting the product to be perfect, but keeping the shelves organized seems within the scope of a Goodwill store.

is the white, middle aged lady with brown hair a manager yet? if not, she should be. some of the workers here are lazy as heck. lines of 5 – 10 people and one cashier? If you’re going to sell your clothes for a price that is NOT consistent with most thrift stores, that needs to be addressed. i worked in the service industry for a long time and none of my stores would get away with this. that said, i find cute stuff here a lot but waiting in the line alone is a good 10 – 15 minutes sometimes. hire some more people or let the ones that don’t want to work go and do their own thing.

Ok this Goodwill just frustrates me. Why is every single coat 17.99? The big, small, fur lined, unlined are all marked the same price! And 17.99 is not cheap for the merchandise that comes through here. It doesn’t matter if things are missing buttons, stained, or anything else they mark stuff 6.99+. I think the prices are way too high for the quality. You are better off finding things at Family Thrift, Hope’s Door and Clothes Mentor across the street.

I live in another city and had some time to kill on a Wednesday. I stumbled into this store while looking for an antique mall. Wow! I found lots of great buys but it takes a LOT OF TIME to dig through everything! My biggest scores were an Oscar de la Renta tweed blazer for $ 5.99 and a Talbots gray pinstripe blazer ($ 5.99). Both are in perfect condition. I also bought a red suede purse for $ 3.99. I purchased several other lesser items — I think I spent less than $ 50 for about 7 items that I love!

the slowest, dirtiest, trashiest Goodwill I’ve ever been in. when there was 16 people in like in front of me, the manager and another employee slowly walked out of the office that had the door open, and said «oh, I guess we have a back up… where are the 5pm people?!» considering it was 4:48, the 5pm people weren’t there, and they should have been doing their job since they WERE there. I’ll never be back. they should shut down this store. very dirty, nothing is organized.

Typical Goodwill. The staff here seem bit angry. Walked in about 30 minutes before closing and got the evil stare. Also, the dressing room closes 30 minutes before closing.

I’m by no means a thrift shopper (not because I don’t want to be but because I don’t have the patience).
I regularly donate to the Goodwill store and every now and then stop in to see if I can score a fabulous find. In my most recent visit I was looking for a grandma inspired dress for Halloween. I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for but I did find an absolutely AMAZING Liz Claiborne dress that is BAD (bad meaning good not bad meaning bad) that I can’t wait to wear.
Over the years I’ve lucked on some great things at Goodwill and it’s good to know that the monies that we spend go to helping others.

I go here for costume items
Excellent– items are relatively clean & much selection.
Good– they do a good job of grouping by item to find what you are looking for.
Ok– prices
Bad– smells like a thrift shop.

BEST THRIFT STORE IN DALLAS. As a curvy girl, it is difficult to find a thrift store with a good plus size section. Not only does this store cater to their larger shoppers, you can also find brand new items that have been donated by the local Target store. They also carry brand new Fossil purses. I’ve found Fendi and Coach purses here as well. I go to this location before I go to any other Goodwill in the city!

Crusty… didnt find anything. bins of shoes in the middle of the floor. Skip it, there are much better thrift stores

This location is pretty descent for a GoodWill. I love thrifting and am always looking for a deal. However, WHY do these places all STINK?!? I swear that a thrift store with air circulation would be GENIUS!
Their is always a good chance to find some deals at this location! I love that they seem to be a location that receives damaged Fossil products, but I HATE that they write all over them!

Wow! I was really surprised when I came into this location. First I must say the store is super clean and super organized. Every single item in here is in order by colors, paints, shirts, dresses, ect. There is a large selection of what ever you are needing. Even home goods. I was shocked at all the stuff I saw in good condition. The number one thing that I truly loved is that there was a dressing room to try on clothes!!! Thats amazing. The store is open and not cluttered. Also there is an electronic department and a department where you can get books and stuff from!!! WOW… Parking lot clean too. The only reason why this place gets a 4 instead of a 5 is because they store needs like a strong smell good candle in there to knock out that old people smell LOL! But for real!!!

I guess I’m trying to re-​live the glory of finding a pair of great heels I got at Goodwill for only 2 dollars, but this time when I went, I was really dissatisfied. I don’t like that the most of the shoes are thrown into bins that you have to rummage through and hope that you can find a pair. Most of the shoes are dirty, also, so your hands feel gross digging through the bottom of the bin.
Also, I know that Goodwill isn’t like Plato’s Closet or Buffalo Exchange, but I could still see someone’s foot gunk (you know what I’m talking about) collected in a pair of flats, and I really wish someone had made an effort to make the shoes presentable.

This is a great Goodwill — I can always find at least 2 or 3 name brand (J. Crew, Banana, etc.) pieces in great condition. It’s worth a trip.

This place is really a hit or miss. I think you have to be «lucky» to find some awesome items. I came to this location just last week and walked out with nothing, but today I was able to rummage through 2 large bins of handbags. I have been on the hunt for some vintage handbags and came across some Liz Claiborne satchels, a rather tattered Balenciaga (too tattered to save :[) and a quilted black evening bag I ended up taking home for $ 1.99. Overall I think thrift shopping is really successful it you go to the right places at the right times. I give it three stars just because the handbags could have been more organized rather thrown in large trash bins.

New Madden Girl Pumps… $ 4.50
New Ann Taylor two piece suit… $ 15.99
New Banana Republic silk shirt…$ 4.99
Finding all your work outfits for under $ 100… priceless!!!
This place is amazing for career attire. I found many new shirts, skirts, and pants for under $ 10. The store itself is fairly organized and everything is clean. The ladies working here are super sweet. I hate going to department stores and spending $ 200 plus on maybe four shirts.
I found many many many name brand clothing here. Most of them were new with tags or never worn from the look of them. I got a total of three pants, two silk shirts, a pair of madden girl shoes, and a suit for ~$ 40. (Most of which were name brand).
I will so be back for summer clothes!!!

Found (in order of awesomeness):
3 pairs of lace-​up booties for $ 7.00 (once again, half off day)
Mint condition Escada wool trousers worth who knows how much for $ 2.00 (it was half off day)
Charlie Brown ABC Book for … cents. — AWESOME
Needlepoint in a frame with the quote: «Life’s too short to live in Dallas» — AWESOMEST

I have been to this Goodwill many times. Overall, I like them quite a lot. The selection ranges from okay to great, depending on the day you go in. Isn’t that the beauty of a thrift store? It’s a nice sized Goodwill and from what I’ve seen, it stays clean without being ‘too organized’. Generally the checkout people are nice enough, although I’ve run into one or two surly ones. They have dressing rooms as well, which is nice in a thrift store.
They do play Christian or easy listening type music over the store loudspeakers, but it’s not so loud that it’s obnoxious. Their prices for a city dwelling Goodwill are pretty decent overall. Once and a while I’ll see something and say a little WTF to myself, but I have pretty rigid rules as to what I think used garments should cost. This Goodwill does actually get a lot of seconds and unsold merchandise so you’ll find a good chunk of new with tags items as well.
I’d rate this Goodwill as one of my preferred DFW area thrift stores — not the best, but one of the better ones for sure. Plus, it’s close to my house and good for the days that I need a shopping fix but I’m too lazy to drive anywhere else.
