Goodwill Store & Donation Center

This is the best Goodwill I’ve ever visited. Like others have said, it’s clean, organized and doesn’t smell like Grandpa’s closet. All of the employees are helpful & friendly. I always find lots of new and gently used items. The pricing can vary a lot but that’s the nature of thrift stores. I’ve never had an issue with the aisles being too close or very long lines (unless they are having a big event). We live close so I probably stop by 2 – 3 times a month.

Tons of used clothing and household goods. The prices are great but this location can become very busy which means long lines at checkout.

Gawd! The racks are so close together there is no room for two people to look at opposites. The jeans rack is packed so tight you can’t move anything without angering the person a few feet down. This store is bursting at the seems and even a few people in there makes it seem jammed packed. Maybe they have great items, but how do you know? You can’t get to anything unless there is less than 5 people in there.

I only started shopping in thrift stores about 2 years ago. I have been to some stores that made me want to turn around and leave before I even got started. This store is far better. It is well lit, has good space between aisles, and doesn’t smell old or stale. I often find Ann Taylor and other higher end products. You can’t plan to buy a new wardrobe because it is hit-​or-​miss but I usually come away with a few good buys. I recently lost weight and it is a great way to get the «in-​between» sizes. Yesterday, I dropped off a load of too big clothes and found new pieces to replace them. $ 5.00 for an Ann Taylor fully lined dress plus $ 10.00 to have it dry cleaned-can’t beat that!

This Goodwill location is by far one of the brightest and cleanest I’ve visited in a long time. No foul odors and no nasty synthetic chemical fix of stench either. Clean, crisp inventory that seems to change often, several spacious dressing rooms and kind friendly workers who are happy to assist you.
I wonder where their stuff comes from, perhaps Lancaster/​Philadelphia because some of the things I find here tend to be more stylish and of higher value than I imagine the local humble Mennonite counterparts would be donating. I normally head straight to the vintage clothing racks where I always find something for myself or for a friend.
Buying used takes a lot of work because garments are not separated by size and you will rarely find exactly what you’re looking for. On the other hand, I am often pleasantly surprised, walking away with reclaimants that are unusual, interesting and easy on my conscience. I’d love to know more about the individuals who once wore these now time-​honored duds that seem to make their way to my wardrobe.
