Goodwill Industries

rude staff. unorganized store. wishy washy managers leave the store smelling like OLD-​FISH! UGH! meh!

Wow… Talk about people that must either hate their job or need some lovin because the group of employees tonight were straight out rude. Not only did it cost you a sale tonight, but never again… It has been over 20+ years since ive bought Nike. Seriously, for –profit «Good Will» should train your name sake to your employees… They are not serving up Good Will.

It’s what is expected.
Found what I needed.
Employee’s were friendly.
I would return

This is my favorite store in the Valley well organized and clean, store manager very helpful and professional. You always can found unique stuff and great prices Recommend it to everybody, Great customer service.

Highly overpriced on these Halloween costumes. Used iron man for $ 9.99, went to Ross and found it NEW for $ 7.99.

They don’t have much here. Customer service is horrible. Mostly old things. Not very trendy, not a lot of variety. But, you must look and rummage if you really are looking for something. More furniture than anything else here.

A very nice, roomy Goodwill. However, the clothes are mildly clean, to put it nicely, the books and movies in the back are in disarray, but otherwise, it’s not too shabby.
To warn y’all CSUN people, there’s no student discount, but then again, there’s lots of places that don’t have that.

The staff is VERY UNFRIENDLY. You also have to be really careful when buying, a lot of clothes have stains/​rips and should not have made it to the floor.

Other than the easy drop off when donating, I wish I had gone somewhere else. This is my second time donating and the guy (older, tall) receiving is quite unpleasant to deal with. I’m not going back to this location, the first time I thought he was having a bad day. Second time around — not acceptable. I wish I could get the printer and rechargeable vacuum back and take it elsewhere. Hopefully someone will still make use of it despite the attitude I just dealt with.

This location is probably my favorite one in the valley. It’s clean and well organized. The workers are friendly as well. They don’t look like they hate their lives.
I’m a denim lover so I always go straight to the jeans section. I go through every single pair of jeans and always manage to find something. Like today, I found a nice pair of vintage Levi’s that fits me really well;)
Thrifting is a therapeutic activity for me. It gives me the alone time that I need while shopping unique pieces for really discounted price in a cool air conditioned environment lol.

Place always got the newest used stuff

The joys of going to CSUN entail having nothing to do. This creates a random desire to go check out a Goodwill when there is even less to do on rainy days.
This location is very clean (yes it still has that vintage store smell, I wonder why no one has thought of just plugging in Febreze machines?) and everything is organized by types of clothing (long sleeve, short sleeve) and COLOR. I’m talking one row all black everything, next row all white, the next aisle all blue, the next aisle all red. Perhaps gang members will eventually all shop here for convenience and be able to get along? Regardless, the Bloods and Crips will easily find new additions for their wardrobe more efficiently here than at any other store, period.
If you are used to shopping at «trendier», hipster curated vintage stores like Wasteland or Buffalo Exchange, you may have to do extra digging here. Designer goodies are in a glass display in the front, & all the electronics/​houseware/​furniture are in the back. Although I walked away without any new purchases, everything here is DIRT CHEAP & I’m sure I’ll find something next time.

This is one of the nicest Goodwill stores I’ve been. They just recently did some renovation and it makes the store looks sparkly clean and well organized. The changing rooms are big and clean, no clothes laying around on the floors like other Goodwills. Employees are friendly, too. It doesn’t make you feel like you are shopping in a thrift store for the nice environment they have provided. Good job!

This Goodwill is one of the nicer locations I’ve been to. The staff is friendly, they have big dressing rooms, and it is surprisingly well put together and clean. I’ve come here a few times for some costumes, and have never been disappointed.
They have a little bit of everything, from some outlandish clothes (I bought my boyfriend some really nice light blue and tan plaid pants) to more appropriate clothes, that you wouldn’t feel bad about wearing.
All in all, they have a clean store, with lots of parking, easy to navigate racks that are color coordinated and labeled by type of clothing and gender, and really nice staff who don’t look like they hate their job (something I’ve experienced at all other Goodwills). The only complaint I have is sometimes things aren’t easily marked for price, like they use sticks but also colored plastic tags that sometimes are hard to figure out.

Love this place! Pick through lots of Designer Goodies… good classic clothing and great glassware. I go so much the employee’s know me by name.

Not sure why the other reviewer said this shop was closed, but it’s open as of right now!

I donated a bunch of stuff here the other week. You’re not supposed to leave stuff outside, but I think people do it anyway. I pulled up to the side of the store and handed my bags of clothes over. The people who work there are super nice and asked if I wanted a receipt.
I went inside to see what they had. The store was very organized. Actually, probably the cleanest thrift store I’ve ever been to. I didn’t look at the clothes, so I can’t rate it. I went to the back where all the books were though. They had a lot of books for 1.99. Good deal! If you ever need a copy of «The Da Vinci Code», there are like 50 copies on the shelf. Haha.

I move back to California and most of my stuff got lost thanks to the movers… So I decided to Check out Goodwill to see what I could find and
I was very surprised when i walked into this store. It’s very organized I love how their Clothes is color cordinated.
I found some cool stuff for my new place…
Canvas Art, Bookshelf, and at a good price.
Love this place. will be coming back soon to check out any other cool stuff that arrives.

If I were smart, I would rate this Goodwill with a 1 star in order to keep this treasure trove all to myself (MWAHAHAHA!!!). BUT, this place is so fantastic, I just could not bring myself to do that. The staff (mostly composed of volunteers) are SUPER-​DUPER friendly. The manager is also very sweet. Most retail stores should come to this Goodwill to take a lesson on how to do excellent customer service. Additionally, the place is clean. I’m sure when most people (at least I do) think about a thrift store, the image of a disheveled store with heaping piles of junk come to mind. But not with this Goodwill! The store is nicely organized by its many volunteers. The clothes are color-​coordinated!!! I try to keep my closet color coordinated and fail, but they can do it here! AMAZING!!! Furthermore, an associate told me that they throw out all items that have holes or are dirty or stained… So, you don’t have to worry about gross items, just ugly ones (as is usual with most secondhand stores)…
Now onto the juicy stuff… As a college student with a tight budget, I love me some deals, and boy oh boy does this Goodwill have some awesome deals. To name a few, I got a Nicole Miller dress (100% silk) for $ 8, a Isaac Mizrahi for Target dress (excellent condition) and Ann Taylor dress each for $ 4, a white vintage handbag (made in Italy) for $ 11. You can seriously find some gems here for cheap! Some things I didn’t buy were a pair of Yves St. Laurent shoes (too small… I was considering cutting off my toes though) and Prada shoes (same problem).
More fun details about Goodwill:
1.) They have items of the week (ex: sweaters) that are half off!
2.) In addition, items that are tagged with the color of the week are also half off!
There are no shortage of saving here!
So, do your wallet and the environment a favor and shop here! You won’t regret it!

I don’t come here for the vintage clothes, but for select essentials for my wardrobe. I actually found really cheap items for my Landlady cosplay (which later was a hit at Animé Expo 2008). It’s one of the better ones I’ve been to (the other ones being in the bougie parts of Long Beach). I love the fact that it’s so close to CSUN and I often go there during my breaks in between my classes.
