This truly is the best Goodwill all over SoCal. Not only do you constantly find brand new samples and great surf, fashion and lifestyle brands - but the staff is so welcome, friendly and polite. Daniel has an incredible energy, great positive aura and great people skills - they totally made my day. Can’t wait to be back!
