Goodwill of Central Iowa is a popular thrift store that offers a wide variety of used items in good condition. Customers appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, with some mentioning employees who go above and beyond, creating a welcoming shopping experience. The prices are generally budget-friendly, making it easier for people to find affordable goods. The store is especially valued by those seeking items they might not find elsewhere, and many enjoy visiting regularly to discover new treasures. The store has reopened for donations as of September 14, after a period of pause, and thanks customers for their patience. Donations are important to the community and help support local programs, employment opportunities, and reduce waste. However, some customers feel that the pricing of donated items is too high, believing that lower prices would better serve the community and encourage more donations and quicker product turnover. There is concern about items not selling and ending up in landfills instead of being donated or given away for free, which could help more people in need. While the store can sometimes have long lines at checkout due to limited staff, the overall experience is positive. Shoppers enjoy the variety and the chance to find good used items, making Goodwill of Central Iowa a valued resource for affordable goods and community support.
You can find some good deals at this location. The store tends to be a little messy and disorganized.
