Excellent selection in the bins. Friendly staff. Clean & organized. Major downfalls are: the lineup outside & get a number to enter the store is completely hijacked by the daily shoppers - they cheat the line & the staff knows it & does nothing to make it fair. The shoe bins frenzy is completely ridiculous. Daily shoppers hoard all the shoes frantically grabbing every shoe out of the bins aggressively. Then they sort the shoes afterwards & discard the unwanted shoes everywhere. So if you do find a shoe you like there's zero chance of finding it's mate. It's totally gross to watch & experience. I no longer shop there because it's so cut throat with the daily shoppers towards the casual shoppers. The daily shoppers go there to find items to resell - the biggest one being shoes. Management should shut that BS down. It's truly sickening.

If you want to buy clothing and shoes by the pound this is your place!
Absolute chaos. I had an inkling of what a Goodwill outlet experience would be like but it was still really disheartening. I showed up 15 minutes prior to opening and there was already a long \line\ outside. I say that in quotations because it looked like just a mass of people standing around, no semblance of a line at all. People kept showing up, moving around, and seemingly cutting. When they opened, they handed out numbers to those in line and as soon as people got a number, they mad rushed to the door. In the chaos, some people without numbers tried to sneak through and were caught. It was poorly organized with lots of yelling and arguments of who was first. They didn't have any staff monitoring the line so we were unsure of when it would be ok to go in or not. I didn't make the first round so I went in after some people left. People leaving were rolling out shopping carts overflowing with suitcases and shoes. People brought entire vans and U-hauls just to dump stuff and go back inside. I think they are all resellers trying to ship merchandise to other countries. You are supposed to get 1 hour to shop before they switch out the bins and there is a timer at the registers but they started ushering us out and taking away the bins at 45 minutes. Inside was as you'd expect with bins full of shoes, bags, clothing, and toys. I found really minimal home goods, books, and furniture which was a shame because that's what I truly care for. I heard that they roll out new bins every hour and it's just a gamble of what type of stuff is in them. However, as they kick everyone out after an hour, you have to line up again and go in on a hope that bins will be better. That being said, I can see the value in going. You can find some miscellaneous treasures if you're willing to spend the time and dig through things. Your mileage may vary though.
I love upcycling and shopping that helps others. Shopping for a purpose. Looking well stocked and neat and tidy. Kudos Goodwill employees
If you like to, or don't mind rummaging through bins of all sorts of things from clothing to toys, and dont mind being around lots of people who are doing the same thing, this could be the place for you. They have all of the stuff that is not sold at the regular goodwill stores, including the stuff that is Over priced, so lots of bargains sold by the pound !!!
