Reviews of Goodwill Outlet Store

Kellie Reveille

This was the first time I visited Goodwill outlet store. Large size, plenty of selection, and I enjoyed the price the best. This was an amazing experience because they are willing to work with you on prices to make things extraordinarily cheaper than cheap! Great deal, great organization, I'll be back!

Emily Thompson

We drove 2 hours to this Goodwill Outlet and it did not disappoint! The employees were some of the friendliest I’ve met, and even the aggressive bargain hunters were pretty laid back. We will definitely be returning! :-)

Nichelle Nichols

You have things over priced. You want $6.75 for a wooden owl with a wing missing. And $2.75 for pastic bowls that you can get at the $1.25 Dollar store.

Brenda Reidnauer

We had a great trip to the bins, take a buggy in with you, I grabbed any type of bag I could to contain items.. Retail side wasn't as great as our first visit, but we got items from both sides..

Julie Hickman

I think it's best place to shop for clothes sometimes they also have alot of name brand th ou just have to look for them

jessica tungate

The store part was nice, looked like all goodwills but the outlet is a joke. Missing broken shoes, broken handbags, then want to charge me $4 for a book. No thanks. 99% of that needs to go to the trash where it belongs.

Amy Murphree

love it nice staff. Simple easy, in and out, and $1.29 a pound of anything that is there

Matthew Rogers

Didn't find much and it was pretty sketch.

Lydia Irvine

I love going to this particular goodwill. Everyone is so friendly and kind. Customer service is great. Anything you need they try to accommodate. Shopping there is so much fun, theres always something new to find. Come be apart of the goodwill family at the Patton avenue location.

Carmen Ray

Love the bins! Ya gotta dig tho...1.49 / lb at this store!! Retail store next door!

Johnny Chamberlain

went in the career center and was beyond pleased, Angel Boone was so incredibly helpful!! She is the best

Caroline Sikkink

Big store, ok selection. Smells pretty weird

DeShun Simpson

Basically, Goodwill on Patton avenue/Smokey Park has just about every you need.Maybe a little pricey for free donated stuff, but fair for the most part.

Susan Austin

It's possible to find some great deals if you are willing to put the time in. On my last visit I found a vintage, vg condition, Laura Bradley bag for 80 cents.

Susan Jagger Austin

Great place to find some deals if you have the time to dig through the bins and patience. They charge by weight so you will get a great price on clothing.

Milagros Morales

Great buy for the price, regulars are out of control waiting for fresh bins need order. Staff is great .

jack king

It was okay I had had surgery and a guy came out to load the stuff I had bought and he was a nice guy but he was a little rough on the furniture I bought I couldn't help him lift anything and no one would come and help him

Kelly Forster

Great place to find all kinds of treasures.

Heather Suttles

The employees there are very pleasant and hard working. Prices on something's are a bit questionable but the finds were decent. They had some nice stuff I look forward to decorating my new apartment with.

james cox

It's a great place for everything (almost). You can find things that has never been used or worn. Thank you kind people that donated!

Chad Evans

Enormous Goodwill always has treasures to be found. Make sure you make time to find your golden prize. It is just a very large Goodwill. I am grateful to the wise manager who removed Marty from this store. Marty was always harassing customers and looked like he had a bad case of shingles hiding under his filthy mask. Apparently, he has been spotted at the Weaverville location where his temperament is being suppressed by the sweet old ladies who rightfully scold him for being a micro-tyrant. Kudos to the manager who knew what to do with this guy! Thank you, Goodwill, for the many fine treasures. We will keep bringing our stuff.

Casey Smith

The warehouse is amazing, I have gotten some great deals and I like exploring. The prices are fair but not great. Personally the games are always cheap which is great as someone who buys a lot of them. The one downfall is the customer service on both the warehouse side and in the store. On more than one occasion I have came in and had to ask multiple people for an answer. The last time I was in one person who was wearing a vest said “I don’t work here” and continued to work and then went to the back room. I then asked someone who was stocking books if the could help me and the pointed to the direction. I had to insist that they showed me the sign and even then they did not support me in finding the price. It wasn’t until my third person did I get an answer to my question. Overall I would say about 7/10 times it’s a good experience; but the times that it is not - it can be very frustrating.

Karl Overbey

Always good things to be found at a Goodwill store.

Sabrina Surrett

I love going to Goodwill And finding things that I have been wanting but just don't want to spend that much money for. I go to the outlet a lot and so the stuff at Goodwill is even reduced more it's by weight. The one negative thing I could say is that there's a gentleman that's always working there and he yells. He'll yell and tell people you got to put your mask 😷on your face cover your mouth and nose. I understand that this is the rule but I do not believe that he needs to yell . When he could just go up to the person and politely tell him in a normal voice of your mouth and nose with your mask or you will have to leave. Goodwill is supposed to be training people for gainful employment. I think they probably need to go back and look at a few and say okay let's back up and try our manners. So if you ever go to the outlet and that man's yelling you can't say I didn't warn you.🤕

Amy B

This is the hugest Goodwill empire I've ever seen! It is well organized and packed with finds! I made friends with an older gentleman as we waited for our people on the sale sofas. He says it's the one his wife likes best as well. I met her as well, she seems like an experienced thrifted. You should trust us.

Amanda Taylor (Mandybo)

Was great.only issue was there were no buggies . seemed like all the employees were using them.

Julia Lasley

Chaotic wonderfulness with some real hidden gems if you dig around enough. Paying by the pound is AWESOME! Love this place.

Mimi Pastular

First time to a by the pound. Went on a good day. Not too crowded so I wasn't overwhelmed. You search through bins semi sorted &...well, buy by the lb. Found some great stuff. Not for eveyone but we had fun.

MLB

The retail store had some good finds. Some of the prices seemed a little higher than I expected, but was still able to purchase a couple of small items. All of the employees were very nice, but, not very knowledgeable about specific items which can usually be found at any Goodwill (ie. Metal bedframes). The "Outlet" store was confusing, disorganized, and depressing. No items were marked with prices and when I enquired, I was told that everything was sold by the pound. Huge bins of merchandise were full of mixed items that didn't appear to be clean. Shoppers were digging through the bins in what appeared to be a desparate search for items genuinely needed. I left feeling grateful for what I do have. On the way out I passed an elderly gentleman admiring a pair of leather shoes that he seemed proud to have found.

Sujey Quintero

Bins are fun but they have vultures waiting at the Bins that have been there all day They Never have Enough Carts 😨 either . …

J M Fisher

At this location there is a goodwill retail store and a goodwill outlet. The outlet is great place to find a deal, while the retail side has a top quality gently used clothing and shoes. Nice selection of art work.

Kacee Schodeberg

This store is really large. They always have furniture and half of the store are sell-by-weight bins of everything you could think of. The lines can get a little long, but as far as thrift stores go it's a good one.

Amelie Jimenez

ive always found great things. i prefer clothes on the alternative side like grunge. and im never disappointed😼 …

Steven Williams

Great deals and wide variety of stock to choose from.

Anna

It wasn't crowded as usual. With everything that's occurred the past year, I welcome space to shop. My anxiety didn't act up, so I'm glad I could actually shop around and finish comfortably.

Jeremy Melberg

In case you haven't heard, Goodwill is so much more than a clothing store. I love shopping at goodwill to find great (gently used) items to fill my wardrobe and home, but did you also know about the great things they are doing in the local community? What a great mission they have to equip other with the training and skills they need to better themselves for the workforce! and the hard work they do to connect employers to job seekers is truly non-profit and so beneficial to Western NC communities they support.

Kirby Ham-Ham

I like to come here and see what they are offering. One thing that I dislike about this goodwill is that they move everything to other areas in this store. Besides that, it is ok

Keekee Kyrie

First time at an outlet and I loved it. My life is forever changed. When I sit back a think about all the money I spent on goodwill retail I want to punch myself. SAME BUILDING SAME DAY outlet vs retail and I that's not the actual count from the outlet smh 😩😫🤦🏾‍♀️ …

John Malis

This is a great place to shop, except for the Asheville City Police Department always camping across the street, running a speed trap. Seriously??? Go fight some real crime. Maybe Goodwill can do something about this, so their customers don’t feel intimidated to come shop.

Asheville Bruce Hensley

#grateful I have been a part of the Asheville Community for over 25 years I'm always so impressed by how organized this Goodwill store is they always process everything accordingly ready to move it out the door today we were able to find some awesome storage containers we will definitely be back when they are selling stuff by the pound you have the best employees keep up the good job

jean freeman windom

Lots of clothing to choose from to support a worthy organization

John Young

Been going to Goodwill for years since they first open help me get to jobs and the career center is the bomb they're super respectful and helpful to All Peoples purchase from retail side and and wholesale side by the pound love Goodwill such a blessing for all thank you so much

Josh Folse

Pretty good selection of merchandise. Very good selection of clothing.

Hudson Hutt

Very nice cashier's 😃 …

Janine R Anderson

Excellent drop off handlers and great front area sales staff. I dropped off my things and saw an item I collected! It was meant to be.

Nia User

Great place to get your treasures! The customer service is great...better than the Hendersonville Rd. store near Earth Fare and Ingles!

Michael Omen

for such a big thrift shop with lots of people coming and going, the staff does a very good job keeping the store neat and organized.

Jonathan Cox

Great Store! Always clean and organized! Staff Always Very helpful and NIce!

Angel

Getting more and more expensive, especially for items people donate. This store is supposed to be to help people without much money right?

Scott Stevens

Actually a pretty good store by Goodwill standards. It's pretty clean. Things are reasonably well organized, and the staff are quick.

Dora Bobrosky

Fantastic! Very friendly staff!

Karlya Buckner

Store is a mess. Broken items on shelves. The bins full of trash and smells really bad. The store itself smells moldy.

Tyler LaRowe

The prices are great, but the layout is a little crazy and there is always a huge line.

Nora Williams

Always always always come home with a bargain or an unusual find. Patience is required. Employees friendly and a good turnover of merchandise. A must visit if you are a thrifter!

Kiesha Lawing

I sooo loved this outlet store Actually came back again the next day even though I live an hour away All Goodwill stores should be like this one

Greta Howell

I found so many great children's books for my classroom!

Marsha Clark

Everyone is very nice here.

debi lewis

Always love going here!

mikey low

i've got awesome deals on so many things here. clothing, furniture, toys, books. even computers! all slightly used, of course

Teresa Lewis

The recent influx of department store discards has brought the quality of the place down, but the outlet center is still great to look through.

melissa weston

Great deals sometimes. Overpriced broken stuff othertimes

Elena Wall

Went to the part where you can purchase items by the pound. Found exactly what I was looking for-a blow dryer! And it was 52¢

Happezyz Life

The underwear had a few stains but overall great wear out of them! Only 2.50 for a pair! Great deal, I will definitely be getting more stuff there in the future!

Doreen Cox

Best goodwill ever! I had a friend tell me years ago when I had a Drs appt to check this one out I pulled in the parking lot,called her back and said "come on now,I'm going to have to spend night " lol now we never miss a chance to stop in to stock up on super great deals

Kat

A bit crowded, but for good reason. The retail half sells things according to ticket prices, while the outlet sells unsorted items based on weight. Quick, cheap, and easy

LocQueen

You have to search through a pile of stuff but worth it for a good find, got a huge bag of kids clothes lil girl winter jacket and shoes for me only $8 bucks!

morgan repasky

I've been to this goodwill soooo many times. they always have new stuff and it's so big! so many great finds.

Atarah porterfield

Great store w good clothing options. Furniture selection could be better.

Savannah

Best goodwill!!!! New and old, wide variety of stuff :)

Raj Bowers-Racine

Go to the bins. Spend 2 hours and 5 dollars on a giant bag on clothes. Never wear any of them. Still happy. Asheville afternoon.

Alex Matthews

This place is massive! Good god this is a big ass goodwill

Mike Honeycutt

My clients need cheap computers and I sometimes find good deals at Goodwill. Found a great deal this time on an i5 laptop. It is a larger store and the selection on everything seems good.

sean ragan

They have awesome employees, meeting them made my life better.

Yo-yo AAM

They have good stuff for a cheaper price

Melissa Leeds

Best Thrift store ever. Just watch out for the VULTURES... 😂 …

bethany marler

If your looking for that hard to find Christmas decoration or that hard to find VHS this is the place to go! The store is super clean and organized! My only negative is the parking lot is hard to get out of because people don't know how to move over on patton.

Catherine B Ponder

I always find something good at Goodwill this time it was a really squishy Dumbo he's so soft and squishy love Goodwill

Eli B

It's okay... I've been several times and haven't found anything, and I'm a pro. The store is cluttered, and the lines run down past several shelves, so you can't look at the computers, for example, when there is a line. This store is in need of an interior cleanup and revamp. The parking lot is large, but usually full and busy. With the proper management, the inside could match the quality of many other Goodwill locations I have been to in other states.

DOREEN COX

Best, largest, with huge selection with great prices. This time I found huge bags of ribbons and yarns. 6 or 8 rolls in each bag prices $2$3$4 each all new. Lots of new stuff

Tim Hammett

Best one around

DeLaney Jenkins

I shop here for the bin side of the store, or more commonly known as “buy by the pound.” I just wish employees would pick out items that are actual trash. I.e. random pieces of paper, wet items, urine smelling clothes

Esther Locke

love going there to find lots of stuff love going with my friend its sooo fun FUN FUN if i lived in ashville i would go every day haha

Sanjay Kapur

Nice clean store. Most of the items here are clothes. Goodwill is a private for profit corporation. It provides jobs and training to its employees. It also provides inexpensive items to people who could not otherwise afford them. Donations help keep their costs down and they seem to pass this lower cost in the form of low prices for what they sell. They are able to organize their store in a professional manner and keep it neat and clean.

Tommy Norton

Some things are priced to high over all i guess their ok

Brooke Keith

Huge store with decent items. Always crowded!!!

Ben Wilson

Prices are becoming too expensive for the quality of the products that are for sale.

Timothy Davies

the regular part of the store is meh meh. BUT! The $1/pound is where the real bargains are to be had.

Denise Guerrera

This place is amazing. Prices are on point.

ChaBuku (ChaBuku)

If you're okay with supporting a company that funds Corrections Corporation of America (a really horrible private prison company) then go ahead and shop here. Or if you're cool with it being a place where only ten cents on the dollar that is donated actually goes to the "good causes" they support. Don't have any thoughts you are contributing to a good cause because it's a facade. The prices are mediocre and often are more expensive than buying new or buying online because whoever prices thinks stuff is worth more than it is. That said if you can find good deals, but mostly if it's stuff the pricing person clearly had no clue what it is.

Jan Nash

Good deals on lots of "stuff" ☺

Kalyn Cogdill

Ah it's goodwill. ..you win some you lose some

Chad L

Program Coordinator

Today's talk (Oct 5, 2017) was excellent. The number of contributors to harness the complete demographic of the population was exceptional. The start of the conversation was robust and lively, may social interaction continue and foster a more inter generational dialogue. My assessment A+, I will return for more cooperation and togetherness.

Aaron Littlefield

Well staffed and a wide variety of goods.
