Goodwill Industries

Hot damn. This is the most crowded Goodwill I’ve ever been to in my life. My mom and I had to drive around the parking lot 3 times until people left because there were no open spots. It turns out we’d came on discount senior day (Wednesday) I highly recommend NOT coming on senior day, unless you’re a senior and can benefit from the discount.
I’ve been on the hunt for a sewing machine – but they didn’t have any here. They did have a wide assortment of everything else though. They have a huge location and more stuff than I’ve ever seen at any Goodwills. I didn’t check the clothes, but I did check the housewares, purses, etc.
I walked out empty handed, but then again I didn’t get a chance to check everything. I was impressed by how much brand new Target stuff they had. There were some really cute area rugs that were $ 15 that would have cost at least 40 at Target.
The employees were mixed. One kept running me over and not even saying excuse me. She physically ran into me on two separate occasions. There were a couple other employees that stopped to ask if we needed help.

Lots of foot traffic, usually a good sign of repeat customers. Well organized and always a surprise.

When I first started thrifting, this is the store I came to. Left with a smile and a few good items to break me in. If I wrote this review at the time, this would have 30 456 stars but that would be so bias. The more I went there, the less items I got. Their selection isn’t the best but I mean hey. whatever tickles your pickle. Me personally I didn’t find the thrill in their selection anymore.
The staff is. alright? IDK. One straight up opened the door to the changing room I was in (Mind you this was one busy a** day) exposing me in the middle of me changing into my high waisted jeans LITERALLY ten seconds after she gave me that changing room. Like girl.
It’s a good thing mama didn’t raise a bashful baby. Shrug.
BUT that’s why I stopped going there and went to savers lol
It gets mad crowded though. VERY crowded and the lines are so long some days. I’ll probably pop back in later this summer or so. Lets see.

Shopped at this Goodwill but it gets crowded, esp on the weekends. The sales associates do not like abandoned shopping carts and will usually shout if it’s anyone’s cart. So don’t be surprised if you see your cart missing when you leave it for awhile. Their selections are not that great here. I just think it’s less organized here because of all the people that come to shop. It is centrally located in Orland so I think the location brings people from all over! Sales associates did not seem friendly and do not ask if I needed any help. They just go on with their business which is strange because in other Goodwill stores I’ve been to they usually greet their customers and seem friendly.

For many years, beginning with undergrad, I have thrifted. I do so now, occasionally, though much more with others in mind. This Good Will has satisfied both. I have found great deals for others such as last night. Within minutes of walking into the store that was at a feverish pitch, I found 7 sweaters fort tween niece. Each of them was in better than average to «like new» condition. One was cashmere, another a higher-​end cotton knit and several nice wools. She chose 5. $ 6.00 each and a dunk or two in Woolite et voila! I also took time to survey jewelry. There were two older, established-​looking types assessing the glass display cases. One of them said he, as a reseller, has found great deals in this site’s jewelry. I saw some pretty nice things in the cases last night but nothing exceptional. During my the prior visit to this store, I found a «like new» pair of Levi’s ($ 5) for myself that I wear to this day. Finally, this site is consistently clean and bright without dust or odor. Items are organized by color and accessibly displayed in this pretty large space. Floor staff are pleasant and very helpful, stopping whatever they are doing to lend a hand, give direction or even share their opinion on how something looks on you. My only recommendation for this location is to tighten up closing customer experience: by and large, the clerks operating the registers are way too chatty amongst themselves and with patrons. This is especially annoying when eleven folks are in line to make purchases while having to listen to the several clerks discuss holiday plans, make processing errors (necessitating a visit from the management, etc to resolve), etc. This is not the first time I have made a similar observation of this site. Time waster and anti-​climax for an otherwise cool thrifting experience. Overall, an above average Goodwill location with great deals and a well-​organized, clean facility. I heartily recommend!

Bad. Just bad. Don’t go on a Sunday first off. But the selection was minimal. Went to the bathroom, left the cart outside the bathroom (obviously can’t bring it in) come out and it’s gone. And let’s not forget an employee who was in the stall for a while (5 minutes) left and didn’t even wash her hands. This place is ghetto, so bad.

As a regular «thrifter,» I have found this location to be one of the best Goodwill’s in the area. The in-​store advertisement can be heard over the intercom, stating «This Tinley Park location is the largest in the area.» Well, I would agree it is one of the largest locations. Tinley Park Goodwill is also always clean and well-​organized. The best days to shop at this location is on weekends, as this appears to be when the greatest flow of donations come through the drive-​through. I have found items in all areas, including home, furniture, party goods, clothing, shoes, books, garden, etc. As others have mentioned, the parking lot is the least favorable, but I feel this location is well worth the visit. I have picked up a $ 5 modern «Club Chair.» I have gotten a wonderful set of «Stainless Steel and Mother of Pearl Serveware.» I have also gotten exquisite «Crystal Barware.» This is a place I must stop by at least once per week, because you never know what hidden gem may be found!

This place is terrible now. Not only have I never seen such unprofessionalism from the staff in my entire life, but the pricing is also extremely inconsistent. This is unfortunate because I used to love shopping at Goodwill when the old store manager was running it, but I feel as though the place is now going down toilet. I also noticed that management is often rude to their employees, especially the store manager. I even heard him tell one of his employees that she was not working hard enough and that if she did not start moving faster, they would have a problem; my issue with this was I was watching her and she was working diligently and effectively. All the employees look like they’re miserable to be there! Most of them are rude to the customers and do not make the customers feel welcome.
I don’t know what has happened to this place, I hope they can make changes and bring it back to the Goodwill I used to love! Maybe a new store manager will help?

I love this goodwill! It’s clean, organized, and the staff are extremely friendly. I’ve found a brand new designer handbag, as well as other gems. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a deal!

New to shopping at Goodwill stores and was pleasantly surprised. I have used the drop off service many, many times but had never been inside. My 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd visits were on the weekends and it was pretty busy. The racks were jammed solid of decent womens clothing; things were well categorized according to size and color. Even though it was busy, I did not have to wait long and the front desk and floor associates are super nice.
I didn’t give 5 stars because the parking was really, really tight and some areas were a little to junky/​disorganized but maybe thats the way it goes in these places *shrug*; I’m new.
I will definitely visit again.

I use to shop at goodwill in the past before the Spree store came in, but now for some reason it is closed down (i am very upset about this) so now i am back at the old reliable goodwill. this place is not bad, it is a bitch shopping here on a saturday and the middle aged soccer moms do NOT know fitting room etiquette but other then that they are not a bad store to shop at for clothes. the store is large, their stuff is clean, the store is clean, they have a good selection and the prices are not bad. today i went to get some clothes for the fall there clothes on average are around 3 – 5 bucks. i got a shirt for 2.99, two other shirts for 4.99 each, two pairs of jeans at 4.99 each. and a nice pair of camafloge slip on shoes for 4.99. with the goodwill rewards card they offer for five percent off purchases of 20 or more i ended up spending about 28.80. which is NOT bad at all for three shirts, cute shoes, and two pairs of jeans. since i live on min wage and live on my own almost all the stuff i buy comes from a thrift store– i guess i will be sticking with this place from now on cause i forgot how decent they actually are.

Best thing about this Goodwill is, they take and recycle old computer hardware. Believe it or not there are not alot of place that do this. Drill a small hole in the hard drive and no need to worry about your information, and they do not export the hardware to third world countries.

This goodwill knows pants. I mean, really– for $ 5 – 8 you can get a pair of $ 70 Express or Gap or Ann Taylor pants, in basically any size, and practically new condition. Their pants selection is huge and well-​stocked, and even though I made a point of coming every two or three weeks when I was working nearby, they always had enough new stock to make it worth the trip. Their dishware is also really good, but really, they are experts on pants.
Also, staff are super friendly and helpful.

This Goodwill is a GEM. I find great clothes here, a lot of good designer-​y kind of things, and it’s pretty clean as well. The area in which this Goodwill is located has a decent amount of money, so the clothes are normally a really good find. Target also contributes a ton to this location and sometimes you will find 20 of the same shirts in a row and forget where you are. They have a wide selection of purses and are very organized.
I can generally walk out of here with a decent sized bag of clothes for under $ 40. I will never forget I went in there looking for a certain style shoe; like a black combat boot. I literally found exactly what I wanted in my size in under 1 minute of being in the shoe section. After that, I always make Goodwill a priority before I look at Target or other places around. I typically have great luck at thrift stores and I find things extremely quick. I have a bit of funk to my style, so it’s probably extremely easy for me.
I would definitely check out this location if you’re looking to donate some old threads or to find some treasures.

Incompetent, rude staff.

Not a bad Thrift store, Its nice, Honestly I wish it was a little bit bigger because they have a lot of stuff and a lot of customers. They have a fitting room, and you can return items, if need be. The associate I dealt with was wonderful and so friendly. Plus the fact they have there clothes laid out in sizes is even better for a big girl like me :-)

This location was recently reworked, their children’s clothing section is vastly improved (an issue I had in the past). The furniture and housewares departments are very impressive and the prices are more than reasonable.
The staff is extraordinarily helpful. I recommend you sign up for the Goodwill Rewards program, it’s a pretty good deal. Sundays and Mondays have half price promotions.

Very well organzied, dressing rooms, and great customer service!

If you like Target you will LOVE this «Target» — this place is filled with brand new clearance closeouts from the Target up the street, all the time. They especially get a lot of their Isaac Mizrahi line, so I’m guessing that’s not so popular in the Orlands. It’s not just Target clothing, but office supplies, shoes, nick nacks, etc.
The pricing is inconsistent — sometimes that Target stuff costs more than it did up the street, but for the most part there is a pretty set pricing system, just too often that set price is kinda high.
But they do have many great amenities for a thrift store. It’s very organized — by jeans, maternity, plus sizes even, but the children’s area isn’t at all — total mess. There are clean-​ish public bathrooms, shopping carts and they take credit cards, and they’re open late, til like 9 p.m. most nights.
And for Halloween they go crazy with the costume-​y stuff.

I’ve been to my share of similar thrift stores, and this was the first one that divided their clothing up by size! Amazing! Sure it’s just S-​M-​L (maybe XL too?) and sometimes you’ll find a S mixed in with the Ls, but I appreciate the effort. Much better than separating everything by color.
The selection was pretty decent, the last time I stopped by I think I spent $ 60 and got a big bag of pretty nice stuff. The only things that didn’t make it into my regular closet rotation were items that didn’t fit once I tried them on at home (although they do have fitting rooms in the store). Everything I bought is good quality.
You can also pay by credit card, which is convenient. I always hated having to remember to hit up the ATM before thrifting.
