Reviews of Goodwill

Debby Shearer

I have been to this location three times and have done ok but I’ve yet to see them do a change out of bins. Also ii am only 5’2” and those metal/square square “bins” and the cut out boxes are very difficult and uncomfortable to search the bottom and the backs. I always come home with a back ache.

Great customer service. Great selections on clothes very organized about the sizes some mishaps on misplacement on sizes other than that great. Lots of trinkets nifty stuff but others doesn’t seem sellable my opinion some stuff is chipped cracked missing items but it is so able for donations.

Billy Oceanz

Large selection, very busy, cashier was very helpful and friendly. She went out of her way to ensure an elderly couple didn't give out the wrong amount of cash at the register. They seemed very confused at the cc and cash payment system. Thanks for good people like her bc there are people that could have taken advantage in this situation.

Kayla Goodwin

I loveee this goodwill . They always have the things I'm looking for and the prices are great . Customer service is great the people are normally very nice . I recommend this goodwill .

Tiffany Lampley

Pretty nice Goodwill. It was also fun digging in the bins!

Chris Rogers

Always enjoy walking in and looking to find something...it's something I think anyone would have fun doing together.

I think this store is stocked a little more professionally than a couple of other Goodwill stores I have shopped at. It's cleaners, and items seem to be stocked together in a way that you don't have to take the time to look through items you have no interest in. There are bins that have miscellaneous items so you know you'll have to do a lot of rummaging, but otherwise other items are put in categories that help you find items better. I liked shopping in this store better than the other one.

This place has become very crowded. When the staff rings you up one person may charge you a totally different price than another person would. I have been overcharged before and when I mentioned it the staff member tried to negotiate a price with me for my items.

Janice Vazquez

It's a great store. You can find various items. Unique items.

Ashley Hutchinson

Found an awesome sweater. Prices weren’t great overall. Houseware section is mediocre.

BINS BINS BINS! Get there earlyyyyyyyy, stand in line if u have to! The possibilities of finding designer clothing, shoes and other items like purses & hardback books--in perfect condition --are VERY likely. And when you get bored of doing that go look through the electronics because it's the same over there. It is crowded and be on your best etiquette as far as not diving into a bin that is already being looked through. Make sure to disinfect your hands when you leave though LOL

David Roundtree

Not the best aelection compared to other Goodwills. But clean.

It was my first time visiting this Goodwill. I guess you would call me a frequent treasure hunter. I didn't spend a lot of time because I was specifically looking for a picture frame. I did think their prices were a little higher than I'm used to seeing, for paintings/prints. They did have a large selection of clothing. I will visit again.

Jeannette Tyler

It was ok but far from my home would go again if on that side of town

Shirley Alley

I was in town visiting my daughter, my cat got out and was attacked by feral cats. I called they got me in within an hour. Gave her an antibiotic shot and assured me that she was going to be alright. Highly recommend.

Tawna Davis

Store was very organized and clean which made it easy to see what was on the shelves without moving everything around. Annie was very nice & extremely helpful.

Adianez Espada

I come on Sunday when they have their 50% the weight. I have been going to them before they even moved to this location. I appreciate the company and the employees. This is a great place for those who are in need but don’t have the resources to pay crazy amounts of money for things. I was a single mother for many years and it was a blessing to come here and find needed items for me and my baby boy. Also love the fact that items get a 2nd life and some sort of recycling. The place is a clearance center and are a non - profit from what is advertised. You will not find top quality organization or carts that work 100% of the time. Everything is everywhere you have to scavenge through a lot of stuff. If you hate that this is not the place for you. If you don’t mind looking for buried treasure this is your fun place. I have found top quality items for cents. Tips: 1-come early when open if you want to find less mess 2- wear gloves, hands will get dirty 3-bring hand sanitizers after your done with digging for buried treasures 4-you are able to plug items in to see if they work prior to purchase. 5-you May get lucky and find used furniture at a Huge discount compared to a regular Goodwill. Happy hunting. Stay blessed

Chris Dawson

Found a few decent items in the retail side. The outlet side was a complete mess. They should have someone to clear out the actual trash in all the bins, like cardboard, trash bags, etc. Each bin was littered with empty torn trash bags, and empty torn cardboard boxes.

Charlene ShealeyHeath

I went to 2 of these today and was greeted by the most friendliest ppl. Even asked for assistance and the lady explained the tag pricing to me. 1 store was extremely neat and organized.

Glen Kornhauser

Maybe I would have had a better experience if I had an agenda to buy in bulk today, but I didn't. No way to test any electronics, and in the outlet section there were lots of pieces missing. I certainly didn't have a bad experience and I'd love to go again when I have more time. But sometimes one person's trash is another's treasure. Sometimes it's still just trash. Retail section was a lot cleaner than the outlet. Sticky stuff...

Barbara Pickens

Blm. I got a lot of thingz only paid 20.00 . I go to the outlet Goodwill where it's $1.89 a pound the blue Benz and I enjoyed it's therapeutic to me

Rhett Mikols

First visit and amazing. They even have it like in Germany; where you can buy by the pound. This is awesome for creative people. They can take it and turn it into treasure. Maybe; Goodwill can take it a step further and offer a 50/50 where they can sell what customers created and split the proceeds.

Teresa Jivers

It was an adventure as usual and lots of fun to look for the good stuff.

JC The Fireman

Store is very clean, especially considering the condition of other Goodwills and thrift stores in the area. Prices are pretty good too. I recently purchased 6 brand new pairs of $40 Dickie uniform pants for $2.37 each here. We also got two brand new $80 pairs of hiking boots here for $10 each. Fantastic deals.

Nathan Saint

I love hunting for great deals at the outlet center! The facilities are generally clean and the staff are friendly. Some of the other shoppers might not be, but we love this place and stop by any time we're in town.

Charles Wysong

I frequent here more than probably the average person by a good margin. Really good staff members who are attentive and always willing to help. Usually a good find to be had and if not try again because the stock rotates quickly.

Cherri Lucas

This one is pretty good & they have a lot of new items still w/the tags often times.

Nica Gillian

It's a huge place... Retail/Outlet/Donation... What more could you ask for!! But in the Outlet part (pay by the pound) very aggressive people, all trying to find that cool item or looking for something in particular.. I love it.

Tammy Martin

Friendly, lg. store with Great selections, lines at check out moved quickly without sacrificing customer service. It was easy to find someone to answer questions. Pricing issues were- 1. How much were album & records 2.how much did anything in the misc. Linen / towels/ curtain cost? 3. Same question as 1 & 2. ONLY golf, rackets, curtain rods, paddles...cost. I was very happy for the availibilty of staff !!!!! Its a store wide issue. The day of the collection ben has past.

Pam Mc

Love this Goodwill. Associates have always been real friendly I always find goodies here.

Ruby Scoggin

If u have family members who are setting up household ( like adult grandchildren) then try this Goodwill for discounts on great gently used items. You have to look carefully not to miss them. Overall 👍 thumbs up for bargains. …

Christopher Elliott

New Store just opened on June 30, 2016 it is definitely improved over over the last couple of weeks. Clothing and electronics are copious with this retailer. The only minus was the 10 minute wait to check out with one cashier open during the weekend visit.

The Godfather

It seems as though that before the furniture hits the retail floor someone's buying all the good deals from the stock room. seems to be unfair since this is supposed to be a charitable contribution to people who need jobs. I contribute every time I go in I would expect some fairness

Terry Sizemore

I am a long time customer at the Goodwill stores and I have for the most part always had a decent shopping experience at the stores. Earlier this week I was shopping at your Clearance Outlet Store #56 and it was the best shopping experience that I have had there. It was due to one of your employees. A lady named Dee on the Clearance side. She really cares about your store and the customers (she was constantly picking up items from the floor), organizing bins and still found time to answer questions, engage in small chats with customers and keep up with the register. When I was checking out she greeted me with the biggest smile and such a friendly tone. It was so refreshing! She is an asset to the store and I felt that her bosses should know how well Dee is representing Goodwill at your Goodwill Stores.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this Goodwill. It is one of THE CLEANEST and most organized Goodwill stores I have frequented. The selection is amazing and the employees have such positive attitudes. I've visited a vast amount of Goodwill's in my time, and I've come across some very unclean places, as well as unpleasant workers who seemed like they would rather not be alive if it meant not currently being at work. With that said, this place is the complete opposite. There's a great selection of nicely organized clothing as well as a pretty cool selection of vinly. I'll definitely be returning for my fill of thrifting in the near future.

Angela S

Friendly Staff, Clean place and some really great deals. They have two sides to this store, on one side you have the retail store and on the other they have bins that you look through, which takes time but on the 50 percent days off you can find some amazings things. Have fun and enjoy!!

Terry S.

Great place to get a good deal. Recliner couch for 65 in

Jackie Hall

They have a lot of people working here but not doing much of any thing. They should have at least one person at all times putting clothes in the correct sizes. It is a mess in general.

Katina Richburg

I have the utmost appreciation for the staff at this location. I lost my keys and Amy and others tirelessly searched for 2 days and with success! I am so grateful for their kindness!

Will Simms

My favorite Goodwill! Always has something interesting for clothes and feature a bin dump for leftover clothes you buy by the pound. Would recommend gloves if going for the bins

Megastargirl 27

Clean and organized store. Great finds here. I've found plus size clothing items with tags still on them and clothes that weren't worn much. I enjoy shopping at this location.

Jason Williams

I love shopping at the Goodwill outlet! You pay by the pound, and it's 50% off all day on Sundays and 50% off from 6-9 on Wednesdays and Fridays. If you want a bargain, then this is the right place to be.

TT

If you have some time on your hands you can find some cool stuff. This particular store is a bit pricey. I prefer the clearance center as you get more "bang for your buck".

Suzanne Griffith

A large, clean and well organised store with helpful staff. Nice selection of books that are kept neat and organized.

Chris Porter

Best place by the pound,digging thru loads of fabulous to cruddy items is a blast. The new store is clean they have it very organized. Go every week it seems

Anthony Wade Jr.

Great deals on new and used items. I recommend the outlet side as you can find some great stuff. You have to look hard, but it's usually worth the effort.

Beverly Sims

It was our first time there and I was surprised at how nice the store was. it wasn't like any other thrift store I've ever been to. We most likely will be visiting there more often

Linda C

Discovered this Goodwill while traveling to Myrtle Beach. I bought unique & very reasonable priced items. I stopped again on my way back home. Wish this Goodwill was closer to me!

Kimberly Hall

Pretty clean, found some great deals. Weird to me that they don't accept the Goodwill card though. Make sure you go through the $1 clearance rack.

Jasper Caudill

I enjoyed shopping here it was my 1st time . I wish there where more bins with cloths and less bins of household items but over all had a good experience .

Randy Spires

Clean store, most of the employees are friendly. This location rarely has the type things I'm looking for, and it they get any power tools, watch out! They get a bit crazy on prices

Marsha Brown

Very clean and organized! Price to Sell, and actually the bang for your buck is Here! Shark steamer, vacuum, higher end electronics and clothing.

Darius Evans

I Work There And on Top of that,Im All for the Company.I love To See Shoppers Shop Til Drop. Im for Work Customers When it Comes Down cause We have to provide clothes Wares And textiles shoes n purses Thanks For putting us Back To

Shirel Summers

One of my favorite places!.. Everyone is not a thrift store fan but I have found awesome good quality things here! Even things with tags still on them..

Steve Weston

Good prices, especially from the bulk bins. My biggest complaint would be their system of buying shoes for which I could not even get a straight answer from employee how to buy shoes.

Pam James

Prices are a little high on items that not been opened. You can go buy the same item at a store for the same price. Clothes are in good shape. Store is clean.

Neita Whetstone

Didn't find anything today. It's always fun looking..

T2Kmom

It was awesome the person who checked us out was really nice and funny

Ronnie Jeffers

Occasionally you can find something that is a really good deal. But somethings are priced to high
