Goodwill Store & Donation Center

Never in my wildest dreams would I have seen myself writing a review for a Good Will store, but here I am.

I have never been in a Good Will that wasn’t deplorably filthy with racks packed so tightly that the hangers are intertwined, broken & falling over the place. You literally HAVE to expect this from pretty much ANY Good Will location. It just is what it is. I just happen to LOVE thrifting and typically don’t mind these “negatives” because I almost always walk out of there with something of incredible value for very little money.

Well, I live within walking distance of this location & am in here about once a week but that’s about to change after today’s visit. They stripped all of the aisles down & installed circular racks for the clothing and now there is zero rhyme or reason as to how it’s laid out. The racks are so close together, it’s nearly impossible to push a cart (if there are any available, that it) between them without knocking things to the floor (which is covered in about two inches of undeniable filth). If you want to circle the rack, make sure you grab your purse so one of the several homeless people just wandering around don’t get any ideas.

Their new merchandising for the shoes cut their selection in half, if not more. Oh, you wanna try a pair of shoes on? Good luck cause they’re now zip-tying the shoes together. If you can manage to actually get the shoe on your foot without a zip tie literally stabbing a hole into your sock (this just happened for real), don’t expect to walk in them because they are tied together with about an inch worth of give.

Two stars for only spending $10 on two cashmere/angora/alpaca blend designer sweaters & the always reasonably friendly cashiers. From now on, I’ll drive the mile to the Arc because this new layout isn’t fun to shop AT ALL. In fact, it’s actually kinda stressful. If you enjoy thrifting, I suggest shopping elsewhere.
