“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.”
“You will always find what you’re looking for and they are frequently offering sales as well as new items weekly.
The staff here is helpful and all the proceeds go towards helping physically and mentally challenged adults.
I highly recommend visiting this hidden treasure in North Wales, PA.”
“I was shopping at the Laurel House earlier today. Got lots of neat clothes for my daughter and myself. Prices are fantastic for the quality of the clothing!!!!!! I came home and remembered that I had been at the Laurel House for domestic abuse back in 1985, with my 3 year old daughter, and 8 month old son. I'm so glad I stopped in and able to give back.”
“Theresa is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable. She has an amazing collection of top designer brands—Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, Akris, Brunello, Fendi, etc.. I will definitely shop again.”
“So many good finds! All the employees were so so sweet and helpful, and they even had stands out with food donations for anyone in need. Amazing how they give back to the community.”

“A gem of a thrift store! Great clothing selection, household items, jewelry and local crafts. The prices are great and I went on the last Friday/Saturday of the month where everything’s 50% off! I highly recommend coming here and supporting them! Everyone is so nice”
“Very well maintained second hand goods, best priced quality thrifting in the area. The staff is welcoming and helpful, and they have a punch card for more savings.”
“A well-organized and diverse Thrift Shop, bigger than it seems from the road. Please donate and by here, as this Thrift Shop really funds multiple local Social Service organizations, and is a true not for-profit source of their sustenance. I rarely donate to Goodwill anymore because this organization is a much better recipient that really serves our community! a list of some 50 Social Service organizations that it funds is on the wall behind the register... Very impressive!”

“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.”
“Always something interesting to find here. The variety store has household goods and children's toys. Clothing store is well organized (brand names are in there own place). Furniture store has so many interesting and good quality finds (they also have sewing machines)
The by-the-pound store is great if you like to dig through piles of clothing and linens to find great deals!”
“I got there right before closing to get a cabinet I saw the day prior while driving through. The price was awesome and it was something i had been searching for. I wasn't fully sure I could fit it in my SUV and needed some cart to move it out of the store. The girl working (long blondish hair, not the cashier) moved it on a cart and brought it out to the parking lot. Then helped me load it. I don't ever buy large items like this so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get the cabinet. I'm posting this a month later (this was jan 21) but wanted to thank her above and beyond efforts.”
“Prices still higher than they should be for some things, but thats all goodwills. The reorg and redesign of the store helped, and they have a bigger selection and more available employees.”
“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 been going to this store for the past 5 months, and I have experienced nothing but great customer service from customers service coordinator Nick. When I come into store he always greets me, asks me how am I doing and if I need any help. He is always very professional with me and anyone he comes encounter with. I often see he is very respectful and polite to her colleagues and coworkers. For what I can see when I’m in the store as often as I am, he always is making sure everyone in the store is happy. Celeste is also a wonderful worker, she is always respectful and kind.”
“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”
