“Products and prices are fine but the staff wear surprisingly unprofessional clothing....
EDIT: Management was very responsive to this review and contacted me that the issue should be getting resolved. :)”
“We loved this hidden treasure! Staff was helpful and friendly. Lots of cool items from vintage to funky. Sad to hear the location is closing because we'd totally visit again!”
“Kool place, buddy got a ratrod from here, it had been sitting forever and I got the liberty of rubbing her down and knocking off the dust and cobwebs, before helping do some updates, we fabbed up some metal webs to go in the back windows that were made of thin rebar and magnetically attached to remove them, other updates such and engine, wheels and wide white walls were installed as well as some gauges and other shiny dress up things.. the doors originally had some hand painted logos, that were removed and changed for the new owner to say "Dirty 30" it's a Ford and yes 1930 and the condition it was in was dirty, but now it's "Dirtyness" is visual beauty in the old school car game.. Rick and Kimberly Shirk are the current owners.. I'll add photos and video soon.. ..”

“Lovely staff that has been mostly consistent for the last 8 years. I wish the electronics were not priced so high considering they are untested but at least if something is broken you can return it for store credit. In the last 8 years I’ve found quite a few unbelievable treasures here. Thank you Oregon district goodwill :)”

“This is one of the BEST thrift stores around. The volunteers are awesome. They ALWAYS have a smile on. This place is one of those places you will see regular customers. The prices are low the selection is great. Good quilty items. Furniture, clothes, housewares, kitchenware ,crafts , tools, shoes, holiday items, books, jewelry, just about everything. Keep your eyes open for those nicely priced vintage items. Almost forgot you can sometimes get plants there too!
The parking lot fills up fast! Even the customers are friendly
. 2/28/26This has to be the first place that it doesn't need to be a black Friday sale to fill up the parking lot. The parking lot this morning was filled before the store was opened and a line that went into the parking lot. Customers don't mess around when it comes to this place.”
“Nice place to get women's jeans ( most in size 2-20, but they do have all sizes most of the time). Blouses. T shirts ( girls xs-xxl sometimes up to women's 3x) shoes,pj's and purses, luggage, wall art, baskets, costume jewelry, and small furniture. They have an occasional major appliance (refrigerator, washer, and dryer) for around $200.”
“Just discovered this shop a week ago, but I have been back twice for shopping and also to drop items off for resale. It's a very nicely laid out shop, not all junky, with great staff and wonderful items. I look forward to going back regularly.”
“Bought quite a few large furniture items here last week. They provided delivery to my home in Dayton for $60 which was very reasonable and helped us a ton. Such nice guys that work here!!! Will be a go-to spot for furniture for me from now on.”

“I recently visited the Goodwill located at 6868 Miller Ln, Dayton, OH 45414, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by my experience. As someone who typically prefers thrift stores over Goodwill, I approached this visit with low expectations, but I found a diverse selection of items that caught my eye. The store boasted an impressive array of clothing, including skirts, shorts, outerwear, and a variety of accessories like purses, scarves, hats, and jewelry. Additionally, I was delighted to see a range of household items, from mugs to stuffed animals, blankets and seasonal decorations.
One aspect that stood out was the cleanliness and organization of the store. It felt well-maintained, making it easy to navigate through the aisles. The staff members were friendly and knowledgeable, which added to the positive atmosphere. However, I did find it slightly unprofessional to overhear staff discussing another team member openly; it created a bit of a distraction.
Checkout was a breeze, thanks to Miss Vivian, who was quick and efficient. I appreciated her mentioning it was senior day, although it was a bit awkward since I did not qualify for the discount. I was also surprised to learn about their return policy, which offers store credit within seven days of purchase, but no cash refunds.
Overall, while I didn't find a plethora of items that would compel me to return immediately, I would recommend this Goodwill location for its variety and cleanliness. It’s worth checking out if you’re in the area and looking for unique finds.”
“I enjoy the selection and neatness of this store. I don't like the hours though - for a store meant to support active duty airmen and their families, you can only go during working hours.”
“Wow what service! I pulled up with a ton of clothes and Pax was right there waiting to help! It was getting ready to storm so was trying to get back home fast! I hope your boss sees your great work and gives you a raise! Thanks again!”
“I love love love this store. Always well stocked & clean. I always find something awesome when I shop here. Very helpful and friendly associates too. One of my favorite second hand shops in the area.”
“An actual thrift store in Dayton is a welcome sight.
Unlike Village Discount Outlet or Valley Thrift, here you can find furniture and clothes for actually reasonable prices. No broken Amazon bookshelves priced higher than new, no flannels for $30 or used destroyed shoes for $40. Wow!”
“Great experience. The helper came out with a cart right away and took the donations out of my car. He was very courteous and helpful. The store's a little out of my way but it will be my local Goodwill going forward. Highly recommend!”
“I absolutely love this store! Finding everything from useful furniture all the way to nostalgic items we had growing up. I have an amazing rocking chair, glass cookware, books and even some amazing VHS! I love browsing the isle two or three times, you never know what you might find.”
“The store actually looks more organized, especially in the craft section, there are other areas that could be more organized, i really only saw 1 person on floor but I was also looking for what I needed, very happy I found some yarn in here, usually couldnt find any before but like I said it was more organized instead of everyone thrown everywhere. Wish they had more men's clothes though especially shirts, yes I know everything is donated so its random on what they have. Wished prices would be a bit lower, and sets would be priced together instead of individually, but all that aside i do like coming here I find cool things all the time”
“Downtown & Trotwood locations.
▪︎Great place to find programs for Seniors in the community, wonderful staff.
•Excellent information base for high school students( to learn/ earn) proper prerequisites information for future job growth, also college information.”
“I arrived for delivery at 6:00 AM. My appointment window was from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. The gate was closed when I arrived, but there are a few spots outside the gate for overnight truck parking.
I tried to check in at 7:00 AM and it worked — they opened the gate and gave me a dock right away. Some pallets had shifted, but that was the shipper’s fault because the load was not stacked properly.
I was completely unloaded by 9:15 AM. Overall, it was a positive experience.

“This is the best goodwill around! It’s the cleanest, most organized and well stocked goodwill I have found in this area. The staff is amazing (shout out to Tina!) and I never leave empty handed.”
“Never have I been so impressed with the organization of a thrift store as I was here at Saint Francis! You would think you were at Macy's. It is incredible... the staff can actually tell you which aisle you could find a lid for your frying pan or Crock-Pot! And everything is color ordinated ... AND they have a huge section of 49 cent items! And a new furniture showroom.... you have to see this place in person to experience the thrill of thrift shopping!!! LOL...no kidding I was totally impressed! ?”
“I love adding this stop to my thrift trip! They almost always have something that I would pick up. The prices are inconsistent, but that means sometimes the stuff you want it super cheap! It can be disappointing though, and I have noticed their prices rising. Theres now way to many items around the $20+ range. Id recommend stopping at The Goodwill Bins across the street first to see if you can find cheaper alternatives”
“I had a really great experience at Plato’s Closet! When I came in, it was very busy and the line was about 8 people long. I think I came in right during rush hour because a bunch of people walked in around the same time, lol. Even though it was busy and a little overwhelming the staff stayed calm and professional, which honestly helped me feel more at ease too. I dropped a couple items off at the counter for pricing, and Ava H. helped me. She specifically told me there were two Avas working, so I wanted to make sure I mentioned the right one. The other Ava was also very helpful too. They were so delightful, friendly, and Ava H had a big smile on her face, which made the experience feel so much better. I also saw a customer get upset/rude for being inpatient, which was stressful to witness, but the employees handled it really well and de-escalated the situation calmly. I’m not sure of their names, but one girl had short hair and glasses and the other had long brown hair. They both did a great job. Overall, the staff were great, I left feeling better than when I walked in, and I got a good deal on my two items. Whatever they’re making, double it, because it would be tragic to lose staff like this. Definitely recommend!”
“I went there looking to update my closet. I found so many name brands at affordable prices and in top notch condition. Would recommend for everyone to check it out”
“I almost always find something here, usually they have their stuff priced reasonably. However, I went in today and found a pair of American Eagle jeans that were located in the $5 jeans section so I'm thinking that they were going to be $5. I was super excited about it until the store associate changed the price to $10 at the checkout counter ?? I obviously passed on it but you guys get your stuff donated lmao I just don't understand”
“To incuntations guy who left 1 star review there's 16 booths only one booth was ropped off and items on sales floor they will negotiate with you and items in booths are being rented out by vendors owner of the store has no control over their price”
