This is a smaller Goodwill, but is my go-to thrift store in this area.
Due to the relative affluence of the surrounding areas, this store gets plenty of good stuff. Lots of quality clothes, often from good brands and like new. Furniture also is a good selection, as is the remainder of the hard goods. I've bought a brand new convection oven here for $5 and have left here with multiple bags of merchandise on several occasions, which says a lot about the good stuff you will find. (I am pretty picky, most other places I walk out empty-handed!)
Staff is helpful, and is always tidying up and putting own new merchandise. Store is pretty clean as far as thrift stores go. The prices here are not dirt cheap, but not as overpriced like the other major thrift chain located in the area. Definitely worth a visit.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 11, 20241 check-in
I never shop there, I only come to donate items. All of the employees that come out always look like they hate their jobs. If they didn't like it, maybe they should go to school and work hard to get a better life.

Goodwill should 'up their game' by purging old, unsellable merchandise and cleaning up the shelves. It's hard to find anything worth buying half the time.

Goodwills vary a lot depending on the people donating the product. This one always come through with clothes for my highschool kid who loves thrifting!!! Decent prices too. I don't like their "no return" policy, which means my kid has to try on the clothes now. That's why it's 4, instead of 5

I love this goodwill! I wish they had a jewelry section! They hire people with special needs which is nice to see however some of the employees seem like they're non verbal so keep that in mind

I have been to this GW many times because it is very close to my home. Actually, I frequent many GW's around the area and find the uniqueness of their inventory fascinating.
Also fascinating is the difference in policies between the GW's. Sadly, this GW not only does NOT allow you try on clothing, but when asked "Where are your scrubs?" I was told, "Due to COVID, we are not longer selling scrubs. They are too risky." Really? Each of your neighboring GW's are still selling scrubs and many are allowing clothing to be tried on. For these reasons I will no longer be purchasing clothing at this GW but I will continue to browse their other "stuff". They do have a decent DVD area.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Nov 30, 2020
I use to come here a lot before Covid-19 hit. Of course things have changed so much. But it doesn't stop me from donating at all. First off, I can donate outside and keep a great distance with anyone. They also give you a receipt for your tax purposes. I miss being able to go inside. But folks still do, I guess it says a whole lot of the establishment and staff. Jist wonderful people and although I work too much to stop in, I do appreciate how much the staff are always so attentive and promise to make your experience a pleasant one. I have been to many. But here its just such a great atmosphere.

This Goodwill is nicer than my usual one near Forest Park. Employees wear name tags and matching uniforms here, greet you in the store and at the register, and even say to everyone after check-out, "Thank you for supporting the Goodwill mission." There was a janitor with a cart walking around tidying up, even picking up little bits of paper from the floor. The toy section was not ideal, they also have big bins filled with random toys, but the games and children's books are arranged nicely. Most shelves were very well organized, a few were just piles of random stuff. Bathrooms are small and there was a long line.

A very clean and well run location! The employees are actually happy to be there! Management obviously knows a thing or two about hiring the right personalities and motivating staff so I hope management never changes! Keep up the good work DG GW to support this critical mission!
