“Amazing place to shop. Staff are so kind, the prices you can't beat anywhere in pdx. I'm a single mother of two boys and I came in one day and didn't have enough money and the guy gave me a giant discount and said it's a hard job I'm doing and everyone deserves a break.”
“Trisha (?) was so nice and helpful and we could not be happier with our adorable couch, shelving unit and chair! Kate delivered on time and we were so happy to support a local business!”
“So many great finds and even better prices and people! Thanks to the kind person who helped me take apart the table I bought and load it into my car! Will definitely be back.”
“I didn't find much for myself this time, which is the nature of thriftstores, right!? but I will definitely be back! Well organized, lovely staff and overall Portland Cool!”
“It's a big thrift store that sells clothing, household items, electronics, toys, games, books, rugs, collectable, and more. Friendly staff and they have dressing rooms.”
“I always take my electronic items to them. They do a great job of refurbishing and then they sell everything for more affordable pricing than anyone can get anywhere else. Feels good to drop off items to them”
“This place is awesome! Theres such a wide variety of trinkets, clothing, and house decor items there is really something for everyone. The owners are so kind and we had a lovely conversation while I was checking out. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Update: I like to donate to PACS store because they have a food pantry and (I think) a free clinic. I donate only good, usable clean items. But they keep setting their prices higher and higher. This is very disappointing.
(Old post): I've shopped here for years and watched the structural changes take place.
But since the change I've noticed that the prices are going up and up. I'm not the only one making this comment either. I'm the kind of peson who can strike up conversations easily (and usually do) and I hear people saying the same thing. This is so unfortunate and wonder why this is happening?
Goodwill Industries is a joke when it comes to finding a deal and I hope that PAC doesn't follow in it's shoes!
I bought a steel reinforced couch that was almost NEW for $10 here at PAC's and it was such a blessing to us who desperately needed a couch...please check on who determines prices and make sure they are doing their job correctly!
I've even seen things from the Dollar Tree for $2 or more here!”
“Alchemy is such a sweet nostalgic shop! Love the early 2000s aesthetic and I’ve found a lot of unique gifts here for friends. They also have so much baggu definitely check it out!!”
“If you're looking to rotate your closet with kids/women's clothes, this is a great place for it. They give you a cut for 40% of what they sell without any other work on your end besides bringing in clean items.”

“The Salvation Army in Gresham is a special place. From groups for women, activities for youth, a weekly dinner, and compassionate services for those in need in their community, they are truly making a difference. It's a great place to volunteer and get connected!”
“My new favorite store that I wish was open on Sundays! I found the best pieces here for really great prices. For some reason I always have the urge to go on Sundays but they’re closed and I make myself sad every week haha”
“Good operation and accepting of most donations. I was a bit disappointed that they would not take a vintage chair because it had a slight tear. Overall Habitat for humanity does a great service for society.”
“I met Judy Today. The William Temple house is our favorite Thrift store. The Goodwill is Closed on Burnside. Our mission is to find a small Christmas tree for our ornaments. Keep our fingers crossed we can score one!”
“Love love love
I shop & consign for trade here! It’s the best. Awesome verity & great prices & super friendly staff. Thanks for being here?”
“Go often to check out if there is a treasure. There was for me! I got a $350 on Amazon practically brand new for $10. My best friend ever it’s a good thrift shop.”
“I have had nothing but positive experiences at this store. I think people are failing to realize that this is a goodwill boutique and not your everyday goodwill, yes the items are more expensive because they are higher end products and are good quality. I have found all my favorite jewelry pieces at this store and I love coming back. The employees have always been very kind and helpful, and I always have a good time in this store.”
“I’ve frequented this neighborhood Buffalo Exchange for over 5 years, as a customer and seller, and am impressed by the pristine customer service, trendy fits and overall quality care. Shout out to Bria who went above and beyond by helping me track down an item I lost there a month prior. You can feel the care the moment you walk through the door. Thank you! I’ll be back.”
“Great sober living facility. We took a meeting to the men there and had a uplifting experience. Met a group of men trying to be rigorously honest with eachother and on a journey of a new life. They are growing along spiritual lines one day at a time.”

“The Goodwill on 52nd is the closest to my home so I shop and donate there frequently. It is smaller than other stores in the area, but generally has a nice selection - I rarely leave empty handed.
Recently I accidentally donated a bag of clothing that had a shawl and throw-blanket I meant to keep. Fortunately, I dropped off the bag on Sunday and realized my mistake before they opened Monday. Tammy, a manager was very helpful. She asked me for detailed descriptions then had employees who sort the clothing look through the bin and find the items for me. They found the items right away and set them aside for me to pick up during my lunch. I really appreciate that Tammy returned my call right when the store opened and that she called me right away when they found the items I mistakenly donated.
I will definitely continue shopping and donating at this location.”
“Greg the manager is absolutely outstanding employee there! I can’t believe the customer service he provided for me while shopping there. Had a small issue with a return and not only was he informative but processed my return with such care and grace all the mean while keeping the location safe and reminding some questionable customers the correct procedures. Not only is he very kind but multitasks like a badass! Thank you Greg for all your help!!!!!!!”

“This location is my choice of GWs on the east side of Portland. The store is clean, items are well-organized, staff are friendly, helpful and kind, plus there are two added bonuses:
1. The bathrooms are available and super- clean.
2. The store manager, Carolyn, who is an excellent listener, is easy to speak with. I see why she's in this position ... as an awesome communicator, she makes this frustrating (IMHO) job look easy.”

“While their prices are a bit higher than other Goodwills I've shopped at, I love this location. Shelves and racks are full of quality stuff, the staff is great, and the store is always clean and tidy. Special shout-out to their electronics wall, where I've often found the exact dongle or gizmo I needed for pennies. Overall it's my favorite Goodwill in town.”
“Great place for lunch or brunch then shopping for discounted used clothing, jewelry, sterling and China boutique items. This December their annual half price sale "talked me onto" a marvelous quality painting by a well known California artist!”
“Love this store. I was visiting Portland from Vegas and I always find time to thrift while out of town and this store did not disappoint. Like all Goodwills, the prices were higher then they should be but given the pricing these days I still feel like I found amazing items for a decent price. I bought 5 pairs of designer shoes for $13 each and some great vintage clothing items. The store is super clean and organized and in a good location. Can't wait to visit again”
“Decent credit for items turned in. They are very picky so don’t be surprised if they don’t take most of what you bring.
Always a fun selection of reasonably priced and fun stuff.
If I had any complaints it’s that to see what size any given rack was I had to crouch down and look under the top to find the little “XL” tag. On the rack itself. Would be heckin helpful if they had signs on top instead.”

“This is my favorite Goodwill of all time. I've never walked out empty-handed and the employees are SO nice. Always. Goodwill corporate needs to stop raising prices, but this location is great. Please don't go here. ?”
“I first visited Village Merchants ten years ago to get some “grown up” outerwear when I first moved to Portland. I was a young professional working downtown and wanted to look sharp. The first trench coat I even owned was from here, and it was $12.
Happy to report unlike a lot of places, prices here have remained reasonable. So many great finds for your home and wardrobe and the music is always great. I’ll always recommend Village Merchants.”
