“Have found the coolest pieces here at an unbeatable price. Buying a first home is difficult but decorating it on a budget is even harder. This place makes it feel possible.”
“I attend group meetings here regularly and it’s an amazing building. Not too far from the highway and there’s plenty of parking. The building is beautiful, always clean and has an attendant in the front when you enter. The meeting space in each room is perfect. The quality of the sitting and space to do presentations are great. Everywhere I’ve been in the building is always clean, including the bathroom. Definitely a great value to utilize space here.”

“Love this thrift shop! Went for the first time last week to bring a donation & also went in the store. I was so impressed. The staff is wonderful & the merchandise is well displayed. Everything is so organized & clean. I made a purchase, of course....and I will now be a regular customer. It's great to make a purchase that benefits others.”
“We went to see an art exhibit of sculptures of giant desserts. We had a great time and the museum attendant was friendly and knowledgeable. We didn't make use of any other aspects of the facility so my rating doesn't include that.”

“Thank you for your help. Your help is greatly appreciated but the security guy at the front door is loud and rude. There’s no need to be arguing with people. If there’s only 4 allow then you can politely explain only four is allowed at a time. This may be someone first time here. Another thing is he is telling everyone to grab one and hurry up. This is very disrespectful and no one should be treated with disrespect. You should have better staff. Respect is important and there’s no need to be disrespectful. You can see the expectations and directions without insulting anyone. Again thank you for your help, greatly appreciated but I don’t appreciate being disrespected especially when I am not disrespecting you.”
“Dress for success is a very comfortable, clean and relaxed environment. The one on one attention that I received from the staff member, was phenomenal!!! She was well-dressed herself and she had great taste. Everything was beautifully displayed. One of Bridgeport many hidden gems. I would recommend dress for success to any female that is just starting out or returning. back to work. Thank you again, ? ? I tried on everything when I got home with the shoes and accessories everything goes together perfectly.”
“I went here for the first time and I will definitely be back. They have a great selection and their prices are reasonably priced. I told myself I was only going to be in there for 10 minutes. That was a lie. There is So much to choose from.”
“I tried writing a review twice just now but Everytime I add my pics it deletes and goes back to the google search results of the goodwill in Monroe. Anyway, I’d give 5 stars but some products are a little overpriced. I think the clothes are priced fairly mostly, same with hardwares. But you know those Steve Madden sandals? The ones dating back to the 90’s, they had the stretchy black band and the chunky heel? They were at this GW (2 pairs actually) and in great condition but clearly from another decade and still priced $19.99. I’ll have to wait for a sale but I guess GW priced it that way because that style is still sold by Steve Madden and is a popular style. They also retail, brand new for $79.99 (I think), but $19.99 for what I think are shoes from 90’s to 2010’s? I understand the style is still in, and they retail for $80 but that’s a little steep for donated shoes. The Kate spade bag I bought (yellow, so 12.50) was $24.99 so I was surprised the shoes were that much. There was a weekender bag made by SakRoots? Idk what that is but the bag which was in good condition at best, was $19.99.
Also sizes are all over the place. Especially the jeans and dresses but otherwise it’s kind of organized.
Overall great experience. I had to dig but I found a lot of stuff.”

“I have recently joined the Lakewood Trumbull Y and my experience so far has been stellar.
From the moment you walk in you are greeted by friendly people at the check/in, who are truly and genuinely happy to see you.
Gym facilities have state of the art equipment with staff available to answer questions. I am working with a Trainer who is exceptionally knowledgeable and respectful as she mentors me through a very affordable 8 session introductory package.
I see many other program offerings as well, and in time hope to avail myself of those opportunities. Locker room facilities are plentiful and very well kept and clean.
This Y is a wonderful establishment for Trumbull and the surrounding towns. Its warm and inviting sense of community makes everyone feel most welcome.”
“This establishment offers an exceptional training environment, recognized as one of the finest available. The coaching staff are consistently helpful and kind, contributing significantly to the positive atmosphere. Attendees often describe the community as feeling like an extended family. Such a supportive and effective setting fosters both personal growth and shared camaraderie.”
“Love them there always so nice. I appreciate the many times they have helped being a single parent with two little kids it's not easy and sometimes there is the need for the assistance provided very grateful for all the support thank you God bless you all.”

“I were a student a couple of years back; I truly believe that when you have a calling to do something you do it with joy in your heart like he does. Mr. Askew shows that he loves what he do, all his students, not only in the studio but in the Bridgeport school system where he do the Lighthouse After School program have amazing thing to say about him. Wonderful place to learn music, no matter how young or with some years on top of you.”

“A huge asset to the children of Bridgeport and the community as a whole. Invaluable skills being taught by the kindest and most knowledgeable people. I always look forward to my child attending their programs each season.”
“Such a powerful ministry, truly touching lives around the world. We pray to walk in the same mission here at God’s Plan Orphanage Centre in Uganda, where we care for orphans and street children.”
“I’m very impressed with the facility. It’s clean, there are lots of machines, weights, and spaces for mat exercises/stretching. This is not my home Y, as I’m visiting for my daughter’s surgery, and I found the staff to be kind and helpful - there was no issue with using the facility as a Y member from Missouri. I would definitely join here if I lived in the area.”

“I called 4 other goodwill locations before I learned that this one recycles scrap fabrics. Very happy about that! Heading there now to bring my bag of scraps. I spoke to Eric, he was very pleasant. I also like that this location is not too big, or too small. It’s a nice size with a good home/kitchen selection.”
“I love this Y! I learned to swim there about three years ago I’m 72. I swim almost every day. I love it. The instructors and staff are so wonderful and supportive. Th gym is great too. New!”
“Great selection of furnishings and some decor. Heard others states that the Danbury facility had better pricing. Never visited there, so can’t confirm.
Staff appeared helpful to customers”
