3/19/25 UPDATE: The owner reached out to me and made the order correct. The order was not fully fulfilled. For that I am increasing my rating from 1-star to 4-star. The reason it's not a 5-star is the local pick-up option was not addressed rather than shipping it for local consumers.
3/5/25 UPDATE: I wanted to spend that online gift card so I did. Small warning for consumers. When purchasing an item, make sure it is the weight they say it is. I received 2 - 1 lb fudges and they turned out to be underweight. When I was looking at the packaging label it said 1/2 lb fudge and I knew I paid for 1 lb. So I took it out of the box and weighed them both. Short of 1 lb. The pics tell the rest of the story. No disclaimer that they might be underweight. I weighed them on a calibrated scale with and without the boxes. Goody's should weigh their product to make sure that consumers are buying what they purchased. Because $22 for a 1 lb brick of fudge is quite steep and being shortchanged for a product that I purchased would be delivered with the correct weight in good faith, that didn't happen. Changing rating from 3 stars to 1 star.
Original Review: I went here for a Valentine's gift. I wanted to pay with a gift card that I got. I found what I want and then I was told I wasn't able to pay with an online gift card. I also was under the assumption that you can do a local pickup if it was purchased online. There was no pickup option so that locals can purchase online. It boggles my mind that if you're local, you would be able to pick up an order in-store. This will probably be my first and last time shopping here. They released that they were going national a few months ago, well this isn't a good look for our local community if the business can't offer a pick up option when checking out. I didn't give a one star since I do understand that it hurts local businesses. But the...
Read moreMy kids grew up at Goodies back in the day. The warmth and old fashioned feel is not there anymore. They used to pick out a stuffed animal at every visit and every stuffed animal was darling which made decision time very hard for them! Today the stuffed animals are all the same look with the big plastic eyes. Popcorn is now pre bagged and sitting on a shelf in a plastic bag. We all remember smelling the popcorn from outside and happily waiting for fresh popcorn to be popped. It just feels cold and sterile and the charm is no longer. Our grown kids visit Bend with our grandchildren and wish they could experience what they knew and loved as kids but sadly it’s nothing like the good old days. Goodies is iconic and could be the highlight of downtown and the highlight of...
Read moreIce cream was good but service wasn't. Went in yesterday around 7pm for a cone. There were 3 workers but only 1 was helping customers. The other 2 were too busy cleaning up the floor mats, restocking spoons & napkins, etc. to actually look at the customers or acknowledge our presence. Waited over 20 minutes while the 2 couples in front of us made their selections. Finally when it's our turn, we asked for 2 ice cream cones...low and behold, the young man who was helping everyone with candy doesn't actually scoop ice cream....it's one of the girls who had been ignoring us. She stops what she's doing, puts gloves on over unwashed hands that moments before had been picking up floor mats and scoops our ice cream. Won't...
