Well organized and lots of great finds. The staff was very friendly and attentive.
I am from New York. This was the cleanest and most organized Goodwill store I have been to!! You have some amazing staff running that store keeping it neat, color-coordinated, and tidy. 5 stars, for sure!
This is a very large retail center and donation drop off store for Goodwill. This store has a very large clothing collection for women, men, and children, and also a fairly good sized furniture area. There are lots of knick knacks and decorations that are a mainstay of Goodwill selection (even a grandfather clock!) and tons of shoes of every imaginable type here. I was impressed by the cleanliness of this store. It's obvious from the cleanliness and the order of the stock as well as the happy smiles of the employees that this is a good shopping location. Outside there is ample parking. On this trip I saw many available parking spaces even though the store was fairly busy. Located on Home Avenue off the 805 in San Diego, it's central location is easy to get to from the surrounding area.
I came back to visit again. I didn't find anything. They were a little bit busy. I like how they merchandise the end caps by color. It's attractive. At least to me, it is. I didn't find anything again like the last time I visited. Maybe next time.
Tried to donate a never used pool floaty and bikes that were in great condition and barely even used only a little rust on the chain which would be an easy replace and this goodwill location denied my donation. I’ve seen way worse products sold inside this goodwill so I’m super confused and also obviously irritated for driving over here only to have my items denied. This items are not anywhere on the prohibited list either so this judgement makes no sense. Nor is the policy clearly stated anywhere.
