Goodwill

Because of its proximity to where we lived I stopped in here about three times. Each time was such a disappointing experience! I thought perhaps it was just my timing, but after the third time I decided to give up. The most immediate problem with the store is the smell. It has that underpinning odor of dirty diapers that isn't quite bad enough to keep you from entering the store, but question yourself for doing it. I found the people that worked there not exactly rude, just completely oblivious. The other customers are rude, though! Every time I went there people shoved up and down the aisles with no concern to whether I was already in it, running their buggy into me. Also every single time I went kids were either screaming, crying or their parents were allowing them to bang and play loud toys with no consideration to other shoppers. The merchandise truly was bottom end stuff and many of the clothes I looked at were actually dirty and had pet hair on them. Just an all around yucky experience...experiences! more

Goodwill is located on the corner of Pierce and Coalmine, a few doors down from the King Soopers. Despite being located in a middle-class neighborhood, most of the stock at this Goodwill is not very good quality. One major problem is that this store doesn’t tend to move the old stock at all, so the same junk is there every time you go. This may be because of the flock of collectors and bargain hunters who prey on the store, buying up all of the treasures almost as soon as they are put out on the shelves. Another problem is that this store tends to toss any donations that seem too old, such as old books and antiques. As a result, the store is not likely to yield any treasures for the casual shopper. You’re better off spending your time checking other, more lucrative thrift stores. more
