Amazing selections, outstanding prices, impressive organization considering everything they get! Plus the customer service made my day — Eternity checked me out and she was efficient, thoughtful, professional. and just great/easy to work with. I will definitely be back to this goodwill store ☺️

Beautiful store! Everything is very clean and organized, even sorted by color in some sections! Kind, helpful staff, great selection. The woman who designs the “boutique” area in the front… great work! I found the ~cutest~ pink dress + there were lots of cute shoes, scarves & high end hair styling tools. Strongly recommend :)

My only complaint about this Goodwill is that it isn’t bigger lol! The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially Ms. Debra! They seem to have a little bit of everything and as with any Goodwill, your trip can either be a hit or miss. I did end up finding a few great treasures this time around that were reasonably priced. I will definitely be back!P.S. If possible Debra should get a raise, she was just so nice!

USED 16 oz Ball Mason Jars with Lids & Bands at Goodwill selling for $1.99 each.NEW 16 oz Ball Mason Jars with Lids & Bands at World Market selling $1.49 each.Pricing is high in comparison to what you would pay for new, especially when they are getting this stuff for free!!!How are they calculating there pricing???We poor people shop at Goodwill and other thrift stores (UCP) to save money not to get taken advantage of.

We’ve tried to drop off donations twice here, and were turned down both times because it was before 10am. We were dropping off women’s clothing, some brand new, with tags, and did not want a receipt. So today, I notice the Cerebral Palsy thrift shop next door, and left them my donations. I can understand if we wanted a receipt and had large items, but clothing...no receipt needed.

Really small, lots of name brands. Very limited discounts, not like other Goodwills. The staff is not friendly, but luckily we were just passing thru and probably wont be back.

Goodwills store have gotten very expensively. They get the items donated and they sell the items like a botique

I used to like this location as I found few good pieces of women clothing and donated a lot myself as well. What a paradox to see some used and so overpriced items. For example just because jacket is Lululemon it doesn’t mean it should be almost half of the price when clearly worn, has little pilling and color is faded by several washings. Used candle (less then half left)even it is on nicer side shouldn’t be 3.99. You can buy new one, quality at Marshalls for 6.99. A lot of jackets and tops are overpriced because of brand but so used. The person who is doing pricing is not very reasonable and I started feeling the greed. Considering they get all clothes free and donated this is not good business. Everyone is hurting in these times but you don’t take advantage of something it was given to you and try to get most for your buck.

Staff is super friendly. Store layout is pretty chaotic but you can get around. They had some sweet jewelry! The fitting rooms are clean and they dont patrol too hard like some other GW locations. Worth a visit

There was a bit of a problem when I got home with my purchase.Yesterday the cashier must have taped the SOLD ticket to the frame. Instead of to the glass. When I took the tape off, it pulled off the gold paint on the frame. About one inch is now needing repair on the frame. It is a lovely frame.That is my only comment.

Great selection and amazing people however pricing is not always as it should for a donation place: A couple of examples:- Bought a couple of paper lamps covers for $1.99 each. I took the Goodwill tag off at home to discover the original price tag from a thrift store of $0.99 ...- Bought a couple of boxes of new tennis balls for $2.99 which is the regular price in any sports store.I am more than willing to help with donations and by buying there but the pricing needs to be fair.

Good store. Not great selection for kids. No toys but good selection of womens clothes. No restrooms. A couple of dressing rooms. Very little furniture. A section with DVDs and books.

I shop a lot at Goodwill and I love it but not this one. No parking. A couple of mean people at the front desk with attitudes giving me hard time about using my ViP. That will be the first and last time I visit this particular Goodwill.

Good place to do drop offs, but they dont take things like lawnmowers (oil inside) or old TVs.

I almost always find nice clothes here that are barely worn. I feel good about keeping them in circulation and out of landfills.

If your looking to donate, there is a drop off at the front door and a drop off in the back for larger items. Make sure to ask for your donation paper for tax purposes (if needed). Good size selection of clothing, knick knacks, craft items, cds, dvds, vhs tapes, cassettes, vinyl, and some miscellaneous items. Fair prices and friendly staff.
