Still a great place to find nice stuff, but prices on some items are getting really high. Otherwise, well managed, with a good staff and a great manager.

Clean and well organized but a bit expensive for a thrift store. Some name brand items... well worth it but the cheaper stuff you can get new about the same price. They do offer 10% discounts to seniors, teachers and military.

This is one of those places that Im torn writing a review about because I kind of want to keep it my own secret lol This place has always been my favorite thrift store. Its always super clean, always well organized; but it also looks like they recently renovated and it looks even better!! I couldnt believe how much Halloween stuff they had on hand! I went in for 1 specific item, I left with a giant bag full. My only qualm is their prices are a little expensive for being used. Some things I saw were nearly the same price you could find new. :/

Fantastic staff, a very good selection, and a donation center that runs like a dream. This is definitely one of the best Goodwills Ive been to for both shopping and donating. The only issue is that the parking lot is pretty small and is prone to congestion. But really, you can park across the street and walk if it looks really busy.

Large, clean store with a good variety of items. They have been well stocked each time I have visited. The parking is sometimes challenging if there are multiple people dropping off donations..

Good spot to look for good deals. Was a bit disappointed that I didnt find any good video games though. I guess you cant be lucky all time!Goodwill associates were efficient at keepingthe waiting line short enough so people were coming in and out without a fuss and not taking their sweet time once inside knowing that others are waiting for their turn too!

Lately pricers have been pricing items as if they were a resale thrift shop. 19 for a rice cooker? 30 for a pressure cooker ? 15 bucks for a hoodie? 10 bucks for a Nike Dri fit polo that has the local high schools logo embossed in it? Prices points are a little higher then average

They have a huge assortment of stuff. Weve gotta learn to recycle...not everything needs to be new. Re- cycle, re- use...rescue items...At least, give it a chance. You may be pleasenly surprised!

Hi, I just came from Goodwill Santee bought a little glider chair for my mom. I have a cube but the back does not open so side back doors only. Zach helped me. He was so it’s not a big deal but to me it was everything. What a nice kid. I say kid cuz I’m 60. Thank you so much Zach I really appreciate you 5 ***** STARS

Some good finds but at least half their inventory is overpriced (used/ barely functional items sold at new prices. I have audibly laughed a few times after checking a tag) but I’ve also found a few good deals so its just hit or miss.

They have a website, but is lacking in information on donating items. They have quite a few restrictions, like no baby item... high chairs, play things, no furniture for the most part, what else, idk you find out as you go. Also, you have to have your items sorted, clothes, books and the rest are considered housewares. I dont know about shopping, I havent been inside for years.

This is the parking lot where I discovered my boyfriend had cheated on me with a woman named Ang. I sat in my car and looked thru his messenger and his texts as my hands shook. I didnt go into the store because well my boyfriend left his phone in my car and...Ill have to come back another time and actually go in.

Clean store. Furniture and purses are a little pricey, but I did get an evening gown with the tag still on it for $12. Overall, I would only suggest this Goodwill if you are in search of apparel.

Ive been a Goodwill shopper for many years and yesterday 4/3/2019 donate some stuff including shoes but I decided to keep one pair of shoes and took them out of the bag but this morning I relizer I took 2 different shoes and today 4/4/2019 went back to see if by any chance still have them but They couldnt find them so I was heading back to my car and just by curiosity since I parked next to 2 giant boxes o took a picked in the boxes not grabbing anything out of it this guy came to me saying that I couldnt shop or grab stuff from boxes and I was trying to explain what had happened and I call the guy that help me 1rst to explain to him(dont know if the guy that was telling me not to shop from the boxes was a manager or not) since I got really upset forgot to ask for his name, but anyways I gave back the not matching shoes to the guy that 1rst help me and told him that he could keep them just in case he found the other matched shoes, it was really a BAD bad experience. I dont feel like going back and shopped there again.

I was talking to one of your employees and thats not ok to take peoples breaks away. its really mean. anyway. bye, oh and you guys wonder why you all of you guys are losing customs. maybe gaining a few but not many. I rather shop somewhere else. bye

The parking is insane. In addition, the delivery truck and people dropping off block off one of the entrances/exits therefore making it even harder to either or exit.
