Our backpacks were stolen from our vehicle. 8/20 (6.15-7.30PM) We parked a pickup truck in the parking lot in front of the store. We lost all our backpacking/camping gears inside the packs. This was so miserable. If someone witness the incident, please contact me. Attention to the store team: If you happen to have a footage of ,please share to the police.

Nicely organized, friendly staff. Especially the gentleman that assisted me in carrying my items out to my car because they proudly are 'bag free' and you can't take the carts out of the store (plenty ruin it for the rest). Staff maintain mandated distance and routinely remind guests.

The store is overpriced, especially when things are donated to them. I know they are suppose to support folks, but their pricing needs to improve. They could help more people if they actually sold more stuff with decent prices.

The prices at this Goodwill are ridiculously high. Why would anyone ever return to this store? I can buy brand new at a regular store. They need to lower prices.

hilariously bad. will not return. I exclusively thrift for clothing so I sweep a lot of places; this Goodwill is a hard NO. Other reviews mention high pricing on damaged goods, yep. no bathrooms, yep. But there are also NO dressing rooms, and returns are only accepted for store credit. When we asked for the dressing room, the poor clerk awkwardly explained that they haven't had them since covid and the manager chose not to because "dressing rooms are a liability." Lol welcome to retail business 🤦🏼♀️ She also bizarrely claimed that "most other stores" don't have dressing rooms, and directed us to a leaner mirror awkwardly stuck near the lines. "People just try things on there. It's not a big deal. You're not going to be assaulted in the middle of the store." 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Personally I can fully change into a swimsuit on the beach if needed, I don't care. but my 14 yo daughter quietly put back the armful of dresses she had been excited to check out. It's totally inappropriate to expect customers (who are also often donors) to put up with this. I suddenly don't even feel great about the "job training" Goodwill corp uses to justify their use of donated goods and money. As a lifelong, high loyalty customer, this left a seriously bad taste in my mouth.
