“This good will is very clean and organized and most importantly every employee I’ve encountered so far has been so nice. They have some higher prices than other stores but at least it’s nice in there and not filled with trash like at other goodwills.”
“Such a charming spot with great finds. Carol is fantastic and helped us find what we had our eyes out for and then some! Walked out with heavy hands, will definitely be coming back!”
“Love this store and could spend hours here. The adult clothing is a little more expensive than other local thrift stores but the children's clothing is so cheap. They have large selections of kitchenware, children's toys and books, games, crafts, and more.”
“I’ve never been to a food pantry like this before. It’s saved me. I can’t tell you how amazing this ministry is. The people are the best and they are always kind. Please choose to help”
“The ladies are so nice, friendly and helpful!
The shop is small but extremely neat and beautifully decorated.
The items are priced very affordable to help the church.”
“Great place to visit around Halloween. Old house pretending to be a shop, probably run by the spirit of a well-to-do lady. Opened the front door to the clang of copper confectionary moulds before stepping into this pack-rat time capsule. Michael Jackson blasting from a staticy radio as I squeezed around heaps of clothes and paintings almost impossible to weave between, much less browse. Found myself in a kitchen that looked half in use, half shop space. Didn't see a soul and was too spooked to venture up the staircase despite the tantalizing old dresses at the top of it. Prey bait for sure. Most spooked I've been all month. I'm sure the clothing is nice, too. 4.5 stars”
“It’s been a really long time (almost four years now) but the lady that runs this store is a core memory of my childhood and always had my back when i would walk inside with my friends after school let out. if you read this miss know im forever greatful ❤️”
“Awesome selection of Items, especially Star Wars. Video game selection was awesome, as a manager of a retro game store, the prices were accurate and all the items well maintained. The Owner/Employee who helped us was extremely kind and helped us find items we didn’t even know they had! Amazing experience. Glad we came here”
“Only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the clothing is too jammed in now and it’s claustrophobic. New owner is great. Like any used clothing by store, beware of buying anything wool…”

“Excellent quantity of goods and very well organized. The displays make it easy to look at each item without everything being piled up on top of each other. The prices are excellent as well. It's a great place to pick up something knowing that you're making a small contribution to a good cause.”
“This Habitat is great! All of the people who work there are really wonderful. It is very large and offers terrific prices and I learned from one of the employees that they are opening and even larger store nearby this year.”
“Great place . Everything is so well organized the staff is super helpful and friendly.it didn’t have any funny smells like thrift stores usually have . I picked up a bunch of good shirts the other day. Did I mention the prices are great”
“This review is Solely about a manager named Luis at the Exton location. Luis helped me yesterday in a way that most people wouldn’t have. He was so incredibly kind. What a lovely person! I can’t possibly say enough great things about him. He is an asset to the company and the community around him. Thank you Luis!!”
“found some really great options here! most of the prices were pretty fair, they definitely have a couple of high ticket items that I wouldn’t purchase because of the high price, but it’s easy enough to ignore them and focus on the great deals!”
“Lots of stuff in this store. Lots of luggage, bags, shoes and so on. Like any other goodwill, some of the stuff is mixed up with other sizes. Some customers don’t bother to put it back where it should go.”
“Amazing staff and a great turnover of new and exciting finds! Always a treasure to be found!! And you can't beat how friendly the managers and their staff are!! Feels like family!!”
“Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Rising Operating Costs:
Rent and Utilities: Like any retail business, Goodwill stores have to pay for rent, utilities, and other operational expenses, according to Haven House Thrift Stores.
Wages: Increased wages for employees also contribute to higher operating costs.
2. Increased Demand:
Thrifting Trend:
The popularity of thrifting and the growing interest in sustainable consumption have led to a surge in demand for used goods, according to Yahoo Finance.
Resellers:
Resellers often purchase items from Goodwill and then sell them online at higher prices, notes a YouTube video. Goodwill's prices may be influenced by what resellers are willing to pay, and they may also be looking to capitalize on the resale trend themselves.
3. Quality and Brand:
High-end Items:
Items in good condition, especially from well-known brands, may be priced higher than lower-quality or generic items.
New with Tags:
Even if an item is used, its condition and brand can significantly impact its price.
4. Goodwill's Purpose:
Non-profit Mission:
Goodwill is a non-profit organization, and its profits go towards supporting community programs.
Raising Funds:
Goodwill stores need to generate revenue to fund their mission, which may lead to higher prices compared to for-profit retailers.”
“I come to this store every now and again, and I just have to say, the staff and manager here must be saints. The kindest people. A young girl and her mother walked in while I was shopping and the girl had such an attitude and was so mean spirited towards the owner it took me aback. And the owner still asked to help her unload her car, took her items right away (even though I’m sure she wasn’t first) - this store has top notch professionalism and customer service. Come here if you want to be treated well.”
“Nice little place run by nice ladies . Very helpful and dedicated to their cause . Very well kept place . Selection is not vast but prices are reasonable. Keep in mind that they only accept cash .”
