About Goodwill Thrift Store & Donation Center – Porter
Goodwill Houston Select Stores offers a mixed shopping experience. While the stores are generally clean and organized, some customers have expressed concerns about price increases, with certain items priced higher than Walmart. The weekly color tag discounts, starting at 25% on Sundays and reaching 50% by Wednesdays, are a highlight for some shoppers. However, the company has discontinued senior and teacher discounts in recent years. The layout and organization of the stores vary, with the Porter location being praised for its aesthetics but lacking in efficiency. Overall, customers can find good quality merchandise at reasonable prices, but the value proposition seems to have diminished for some due to the rising costs.
Friendly staff. Helped me unload some unwanted items we were getting rid of. I'm sure someone will get good use out of the items.

Staff is exceptionally friendly and the variety of nick nacks is vast. Love this place.

Previous Goodwill experiences have been negative but this place is great! Organized, well lit, didn't smell old and musty, had good items, and super friendly staff. Hispanic girl at checkout was a doll. Found a new place to shop.
