The vision of our 501(c3) nonprofit organization is that ALL people have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential through the power of work.Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee is based in Nashville, Tenn. The agency serves 48 counties throughout Middle and West Tennessee, operating 30 retail stores and two outlet stores, about 53 Donation Express Centers and 13 Career Solutions Centers. The nonprofit is one of Tennessee’s largest employers of people with disabilities with more than 45 percent of our workforce reporting some type of disability or disadvantage. Although affiliated with Goodwill Industries International in Rockville, Md., we operate independently through our own governing board of directors. Goodwill accepts gently-used items that donors no longer want, need or use. Those items are sold either in our retail stores or online at onlinegoodwill.com. Revenue from the sale of donated goods helps fund job training services and programs provided by Goodwill Career Solutions. In addition to retail sales, Goodwill depends on several other revenue sources, including state and local grants.
Feedback on staff is mixed; while some employees are praised for being friendly and helpful, others are reported as rude or unprofessional.
Pricing Issues
Many customers feel that prices have increased significantly, making items overpriced for a thrift store, leading to disappointment.
Store Organization
The cleanliness and organization of the store receive positive remarks, but there are complaints about disorganization in specific sections.
Inventory Concerns
Several reviews mention low stock and limited selection, particularly in certain categories like kitchen items and children's clothing.
Checkout Experience
Customers frequently report long wait times at checkout due to insufficient staffing, which detracts from their shopping experience.

I love shopping at this Goodwill! The staff is always friendly and ready to help with any questions. The store is well organized, and the selection is consistently great. Their home décor section is my favorite, and the glassware is always a hit. I’ve even found some amazing chairs for my living room! For all the thrifters out there, this is definitely a spot you’ll want to check out. ✨🛍️

I love to go on treasure hunts at my local Goodwill stores. You never know what hidden treasures await you whether it's a good book, home decor, or that perfect shoe or dress you know you are going to pay less than the retail value. Next time you're looking for an item stop by Goodwill. I love mixing my designer brands and accessories with the treasures I find. I donate to Goodwill stores and so should you.
