Thrift Stores near Ocean, NJ

“This is one of the top best Goodwill stores in New Jersey. There are great finds and there is always something precious. It is a small store compared to other Goodwills. Things are well organized. The majority of the stuff are well priced, however they have increased their price slightly. Staff are friendly.

The negative part is there is this one tall young man who frequently comes to the store daily. He gets everything he wants. He gets cozy and friendly with the main guy who rolls out the cart. He goes back and forth to the store. Sometime he comes with his girlfriend who whisks away everything as he grabs them from the cart. What we notice as frequent shoppers is they don’t put anything out when he is not there and minutes after he returns, the cart starts rolling again. This occurrence happens with only one employee, the black guy who wears a head wrap. When he is not in, the other employees rolls out the goods timely. Management needs to get on that ASAP as shoppers share their frustration with the employee showing favoritism to this person. The donated stuff is for the people to purchase and not for one person to pick and choose what he wants. We often see this buyer stops the employee on his way back and carries out long conversations with him. Management needs to address this issue otherwise this buyer will be the only one buying there.”

“The staff here are so friendly and welcoming! I lost my wallet and they kept it safe till I came back! I was also trying on items and they helped me feel comfortable looking for sizes that would fit me better!”

There is so much to look at and it’s organized!! (I hate when I have to sift through piles!) The staff is so friendly - there is a really fun vibe in the store.I can’t wait to go back!”
