Goodwill Leawood — Local services in Leawood

Upon my arrival, Crystal explained the layout of the boutique, Goodwill's sustainability programs, their steps towards inclusivity, and her positive experiences as an employee; she was more than happy to take the time to answer all of my questions. Christy was also incredibly friendly. As for the store itself, it is arranged beautifully; I have never walked into a Goodwill and considered it aesthetically pleasing before. When it comes to the higher prices, I am on the fence. On one hand, Goodwill has received a lot of backlash for continuing to raise their prices, so the boutique concept is a bit counterintuitive. On the other hand, there was a pair of brand new Express dress pants for $14.99, which retails close to $70, so that is still a good deal. If you're on a budget, keep in mind, you may not find anything below $11.99 at this location. Also, it appears this location does not have weekly tag color sales because all of the tags are white. In regard to the selection, I found several fun items from red Frye ankle boots to a plum suit dress, all in excellent condition; my compliments to the curator. Unfortunately, none were in my size, which is normal at a thrift shop - hit or miss. Usually, boutiques are small, but have multiple sizes available for each piece, so location size is not an issue. When there is only one of each item and it's a small store, a lot more luck is needed to find something that fits. Overall, it was fun to look around and and nice to not have to worry so much about accidentally buying...

I made my first trip to this store today and was very pleased with my experience. The merchandise was clean and displayed as if in a high-end a boutique store, and the pricing was reasonable considering the superior quality of the clothing and the condition of it (versus the original retail pricing). The sales associates were friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable about the mission of Goodwill in their own store as well as in the broad sense of of the different programs that are available through Goodwill to the general public. The store also offers two days during the week in which shoppers are be able to receive additional discounts on purchases. Be sure to check this 'gem' out if you are looking for quality clothing, shoes, accessories, or miscellaneous home...

This Goodwill is boutique, interesting concept, underwhelming execution. It’s clean. You won’t find anything for less than 12 dollars and their pricing feels nearly arbitrary. I understand paying more for Ellen Tracy, but here target brands, H&M and forever 21 clothes are priced the same as much higher quality labels. Also, no plus size representation. I found nothing larger than XLs and one dress in a size 12. As a boutique thrift shop it’s basic, as a goodwill it sucks the fun out of finding a deal. It’s a reseller with a specific aesthetic. Think Kirkland and Anne Taylor had a love child. Some people will love it, but if you love the thrill of the hunt and unique finds, you won’t...
