“Always a interesting visit. Finding all kinds of things to let your imagination go wild. Everything from A to Z at Ax-Man Surplus.(Have 2say the tall/younger dark haired employee that was cashier, was diffinately not 2happy 2B there that day. Never had a rude employee help me till then. Smile everything will be okay.)”
“I love this place! Great prices too. Sign up for their rewards! Lots of parking available out front and across the lot. No steps into the building. The doors aren't (handicapped) accessible, but they are double doors. The green tags were 70-75% off today, Thurs, 2/22/24. Enjoy all my pictures! They have a lot of great Easter Decor out and furniture too! Always a fun time to be had in here. The employees are always friendly and happy.”

510 County Rd D West, New Brighton“Best place to donate used tools and other items that would end up trashed at Savers or Goodwill. Also supports a great cause.In terms of shopping, prices seemed fair. I'm happy to pay a bit more given that it supports legitimate charity work.”
“Friendly staff and I always find a good deal or two while shopping. Also love that by supporting Family Pathways with their cause of helping local food banks. Fantastic cause to support!”
“I have been going here for 4 years now. The people are so kind and helpful. I liked it before the remodel & I know it has only gotten better. Come check it out. Convenient location & lots of parking, easy to find.”

8181 University Ave NE, Spring Lake Park“Clean and all clothes are organized by color and size. Great prices, selection and quality.So ive met/seen 6 staff members since going to this location and I will say it's a split on service. 3 of the employees were short when I asked them questions (not that im asking for FLO type service so its fine but dont look like you hate your job even tho most people do) and sort of blah sorting clothes behind the register, the other 3 were knowledgeable, hit all the sales points and 1 was even singing down the aisle and that made me feel happy.Otherwise, The only negative thing I have to say is the teething rings at the front door were very dusty, wiping them down and packaging them would help them sell and straightening up the toy area. It just looks visually chaotic with everything thrown up there.Also, shame on anyone who gives them 1 star over the bag ordeal. I saw it on the website, I always CALL ahead if I'm unsure and simply to inquire. Also, Don't smoke around your kids, their stuff or leave it in a garage or smoke in your house and think they are still going to take your belongings. That's just bad parenting and 2 you have a phone to leave a bad review but can't put in 30 seconds of legwork to do research by calling or looking them up.If anything changes I'll update my review.”
“Called. Spoke to Super. as found a 5 pg. bank stmt. in book I bought. Told Super. the male cashier who helped me mentioned he had recently read that author & wondered if it was his stmt.? Super said he had no male cashiers in WBL store. I said he did. He said no. I found my 10/25 (noon) receipt & cashier was JOHN S, Same male cashier'd me last time I was there & does a wonderful job. I ripped up bank stmt as requested by Super.. but JOHN S. who does a fantastic job for WBL Goodwill, certainly deserves a raise.”
“I had been past this place many time, but I finally stopped in to have a look around.This particular store was pretty decent compared to some other ones that I have been in. It was pretty clean, and organized pretty well too.The staff that I did interact with were friendly, and I see no reason to think that I won't come back here when I am in the area again.”

1627 County B Rd W, Roseville“Checked out this Goodwill for the very first time. Staff are so friendly. I had a donation bag that I brought inside thinking that they had a bin inside the doorway like some of them do and noticed they did not. I did not have time to drive around the back to wait in line to drop off my items, the lady at the front cashier was so nice and greeted me, took my items. Overall, i would say that this Goodwill is cleaner than most that I have been to. Will definitely be coming back!”
“I have donated items here before. Today was different! The young man working drop off greeted me and offered to help me with the larger item. He commented on the nice weather and told me to enjoy my day. Kudos for a great employee. He made my day better and he enjoys his job.”

1000 E Moore Lake Dr, Fridley“Good values, decent selection, good staff, great mission supported. Store is usually well organized and pretty clean. Frequent colored tag sales @ up to 50 off. Realistic prices w/good weekly discounts in addition. Stock is significantly varied, mixed used with new items. Adequate parking. Shopping, food and gym adjacent.”
“Although prices are on the rise everywhere, even here, it's still a great value over brand new. Sometimes Target & Walmart have similar prices for a plain tshirt or shorts but overall, for kid shopping your better off buying thrifty. For seniors, over 55, it's an EXCELLENT VALUE. Go on Tuesdays for 40% off!”

170 89th Ave NE, Minneapolis“Great prices compared to other thrift stores but tag colors can be hard to determine. I know that sounds silly but grey and blue and white are extremely similar and so are red and orange. So it's easy to get confused at what's actually on sale.”

2500 Cleveland Ave N, Roseville“Stopped at this Goodwill to check it out a couple days ago. Really great selection of items but prices could be better for items like Name brand jackets, especially ones with stains. The moment I walked into the store i noticed how friendly the girl at the cash register was. For someone who was working by herself up front with a long line of people, she handled it so well. I would come back to this location!”
“Good prices and selection of course but the PA system in the store just needs to be put out of its misery, lol. Radio sounds fine but then the song ends and it sounds like your great-great-great grandma Gertrude is voicing the store ads straight from her coffin that’s been in the ground since 1874. Great Halloween effect but I would imagine it’s not intentional the other 364 days of the year…”
“Clean store with a lot of variety in products. I purchased new women's garden gloves for $1.99 each. I've seen the same type at chain garden centers for $5 each. It's true what others have said, the donation line can be very long depending on when you go. To donate, drive around the right side of the building, then circle behind the building. You'll see a large white garage door. Drive up close to the door and they will let you in.Customer service is hit or miss, but that is probably to be expected given Goodwill's mission:"Goodwill provides training, employment and supportive services for people with disabilities or disadvantages who seek greater independence. Our vision is to transform lives and communities through the power of work."”
“One of my favorite places to shop and consign! Perfect location! HUGE SELECTION of the best brands at the best prices. Consigning is super easy (I'm never confused or have questions when dropping off/picking up), staff is a amazingly friendly and are always happy to help and answer any questions I may have for them. No matter if I'm consigning or shopping EVERY interaction at this Plato's has always exceeded my expectations and deserves way more then 5 stars. Usually the product and prices are what make a great store, I would say it's the staff ?%. I've also found, compared to the others, they buy more product. Maybe due to the high variety of brands or their high foot traffic, whatever it is...it's working! I absolutely love this store!! Highly highly suggest this Plato's!!”
“It's not a bad location but it doesn't have a ton of inventory. Good staff and the parking lot is nice and spacious. It's also very easy to get to off the same road you use to get to walmart, this is actually how I discovered its existence.”
