“Goodwill Outlet Stores represent a win-win for the community,” said Goodwill President and CEO Anne Richards. Large scales are provided where shoppers can weigh their merchandise.
Items are priced at $1.39/lb., books $.50 each and large items such as furniture and select showcase items are priced individually. Shoppers who enjoy bargains, crafters and resellers will appreciate this opportunity to find quality merchandise at deep discounts. Rather than clothes hanging on racks and housewares placed on shelves at the outlet, all merchandise is placed in large, shallow bins and rolled onto the sales floor, getting refreshed as often as every hour. The merchandise has gone through the five-week sales cycle – spending time at half price and at $1.00 – and have not been purchased. Goodwill Outlet Stores are stocked with merchandise (clothing, textiles, shoes, books, accessories and more) from traditional Goodwill Retail Stores in the area. after a ribbon cutting ceremony with Councilman Anthony Hairston and Goodwill Officials. The Grand Opening will be held on Thursday, July 25 at 9 a.m. (“Goodwill”) will be opening a Goodwill Outlet Store on the corner of East 179th St. There’s even a weigh station so you can get an estimate of how much your tally is before you reach the register.CANTON, OH – J– Goodwill Industries of Greater Cleveland and East Central Ohio, Inc. I walked away with two big bags of goodies for under $19. Prices: Like I stated, the items are priced by weight, clothes are $1.29-$1.69/lb and accessories are $1.39-1.79/lb. I found everything from an Old Navy leather coat to a Theory military jacket (my new BFF!) to an adorable pair of leopard flats. Though some of the electronics are a bit outdated and may need some repair, how can you not get a kick out of seeing an typewriter (what’s that?) or an original PlayStation? And the clothing was just as varied, in style and sizes. Electronics, furniture, shoes, books (especially children’s and romance novels), vinyl records, etc. Selection: I was really impressed with the assortment of items offered.
The outlet’s open six days a week so you can shop at your convenience, instead of being forced into a crowded, Saturday morning sale. And while you’re sifting through items, your nose isn’t tortured with that funky, musty smell that usually plagues some thrift stores. All of the jeans, shoes, dresses, jackets, etc are in their respective spots, which is great if you’re looking for something specific. Unlike the deep, wooden bins of Housing Works, these were plastic (no splinters!) and not too deep (so you don’t have to practically topple into the bin if you want to get to the bottom). Setting: The outlet is housed in a spacious, well lit room with big blue bins. I’ll be forever loyal to the Housing Works warehouse sale, but I liked the variety of Goodwill. Let me tell you, this is a budget babe’s heaven. I’ve gone to Goodwill before where the clothes are sorted and individually price, but never to an outlet where the clothes are in bins and priced by pound. So last week I let you in on my new thrifting obsession, the Goodwill Outlet.
