Goodwill Davie Ridge Plaza

This store is very familiar to me. I have been going to stores like these for over forty years. I know what i’m talking about simply by all that experience. What I have to say about its conditon as of 6÷21÷15 is primarily about the Mens Clothing area. If Mens is like this, it would seem so is the rest of it. Only a guess on my part.
The overall quality of neatness, how things are sorted, and simple care of how things are hung has dropped off considerably. Previous Managers of this store up until several months ago did it correctly. No problem finding your size, color, etc It was easy for the patron.
No longer. It’s a job just to find any article of clothing. Just a mixed mess apperently by color group or something with size tags in a complete disorder. The only thing that is in order is type of clothing, that’s about it. Previously items were sorted by size group and within that by color and shade of color. Once things have been sorted this way it can be very, very simple to keep it that way. Also, note that many other Goodwill Stores in Broward have no problem doing it that way. The Salvation Army Stores do it also and are not charging SalesTax.
It simply defeats anyone by shear time element attempting to find what they’re in need of. Today I simply walked out without purchasing anything after a short time attempting to sort my way through the disarray.
Also note that this store is in Davie, near Weston, Plantation and Sunrise. It is not in Miami. Music playing is pretty much Spanish speaking music stations all the time. Nothing wrong with the music as it is eclectic, I happen to like what’s played, but it doesn’t reflect the area it’s located in. It appears it is for the entertainment of the staff and not the general area customers.
Noting a previous Review of 8÷17÷2014. I would still agree. At least the Salvation Army management actually thanks you and appears to mean it.
Of course, what do I know after forty years thrift shopping?

Nice clean store, well organized with helpful staff. Great juniors section. 80s music a huge plus!

Never found a thrift store that was more unwilling to accept donations than this one. Even when they do accept donations they are unhelpful and cantankerous. You’re better off giving your donations somewhere else.
