I’ve seen prices of barcode items double over the last year at this location since going viral for being a large goodwill in this state. Their GRID section never changes and I haven’t seen any decent electronic here since they opened years ago probably because they are selling anything decent online. Shame on greedwill. There are other thrifts doing good locally and they don’t charge what y'all charge. This is the worst thrift store in Shelby imo.

I’ll spare you the time. Driving from Charotte you see this store and you are like oh my look at the size! Definitely a quantity over quality goodwill. Store was clean and organized however didn’t come across a single name brand item in clothing. Brands were mostly mall stores that had gone out of business, target or Walmart. Clothes were also on more of the worn out side. Housewares were slim pickings.

The most spacious Goodwill store I've been in. Clothes are color coordinated on racks, store is clean, and quiet. Also, has a deli inside. Will return soon.

No dressing rooms. The clothes are not put together based upon sizes so you really have to hunt to find what you want.
I feel like the price on the used computers was a little expensive for what you're getting.

This was by far the best goodwill shopping experience we've ever had. We drove from 1.5 hours away and it was well worth it. We walked away with plenty of treasures and everything was well priced by normal goodwill standard pricing. I saw nothing that was overpriced. But what made this the best shopping expereince was that you can tell the employees work hard to run this store to a high standard. The place was so clean, organized, and with very few items on the floor, even at the end of the day. Every single employee we saw was busting their butt the entire time we were there and we were there for hours. At the end of the night, during closing, when you figured they would be tired they were still kind and helpful..the cashier even extending herself to open up a showcase for me with a full line of customers waiting for her. All this did not go unnoticed and we can't wait to return!
Oh and as previous reviews mentioned, yes clothes color organized and no fitting rooms. But after shopping a bit, you get use to the color system and we made our own makesip "fitting area" in a corner of the store and no one bothered us. In fact, I saw others doing the same lol. All in all the pros far outweigh the cons at this location..10/10!
