About This Store
Goodwill Stores Gorham Offers Thrift Shopping by the Pound
If you’re into thrift shopping around Gorham, Maine, the Goodwill Buy the Pound Store & Recycling Center is definitely worth checking out. Unlike a typical thrift store, this location prices most items by weight, making it a different kind of secondhand shopping experience. It’s part of the Goodwill chain, which is well known for supporting community programs and offering a wide range of used goods. This store reflects that mission but with a twist that appeals to bargain hunters and eco-conscious shoppers alike.
At Goodwill Stores Gorham, you’ll find racks of used clothing that range from everyday basics to vintage styles. It’s easy to spend a good while digging through the selections because you never know what might turn up. Aside from apparel, they usually have furniture pieces, housewares, books, and seasonal items all mixed in the bins and shelves. The buy-by-the-pound system encourages people to load up on smaller items like shoes, bags, and accessories without worrying about price tags on each piece. Plus, there’s a recycling center right there, which reinforces the whole sustainable vibe.
The pace here is different from your average thrift store. Instead of picking through neatly organized racks, you’re often rifling through piles and bins, which can feel like a fun scavenger hunt. It’s a great spot for anyone who appreciates vintage finds or wants an affordable way to refresh their wardrobe or home. Goodwill Stores Gorham brings a community-focused, budget-friendly approach to thrift shopping in Gorham that’s hard to find elsewhere. Give it a try if you want to mix things up from the usual thrift store routine.

This is the area go to mass-thrifting shop that rolls out unsorted bins of books, household items, and clothing by the pound, and it is a fun treasure hunt. The store’s floor is consistently refreshed with new bins, so every visit presents the chance to find something different. Items were unsorted, which made digging through the mixed bins exciting—you never know what vintage finds or useful everyday pieces you'll uncover. Staff are friendly and keep the area tidy despite the bustle. The price “buy the pound” is unbeatable for the quantity and variety available. Perfect for serious thrifters and bargain hunters who enjoy the thrill of discovery.

Price per pound for clothes/shoes was $2 on my visit (9/19/25). I stuffed two reusable grocery bags for $24 including two pairs of shoes. Definitely recommend (as others have done) taking a beat when you arrive to observe before diving in. There are definitely regulars who have a system and it’s like an orchestrated dance when new bins come out. There are resellers scoping everything- especially the shoes! There is a bathroom on site with soap and hand sanitizer for those of us who didn’t bring gloves (I’ll bring some next time!). Staff were friendly and helpful for me as a newbie. Will be back!

Would not recommend Sundays. Most days are good but Sundays seem like nobody wants to work. Two rotations in over 3 hours today.

I go every weekend. Some people that go there have no manners and grab everything but the people who work there are nice and a lot of the regulars are kind. Never know what they'll have.

I only shop the color of the day deals. A used LL Bean sweater Should not cost more than $15 let alone $40?!?!?! Used clothing should not cost what goodwill prices them at. What do you mean a used spaghetti strap tank top is $6? They shouldn’t be more than $1. WHAT is happening to goodwill??? I also noticed they started to rip the price off of the clothing that was still NWT but they are still pricing these things for $30? Just because it has a tag on it doesn’t mean it is worth $30
