Discriminatory no exceptions mask policy. Can’t even wear a face shield which makes no sense because those offer even more protection. Thought I could go back w a face shield since I can’t wear a mask but nope. Says on their website that they aren’t allowed which proves that this is not about health or science. Every other business with strict face covering policies has been fine with a face shield as it works even better than a mask. This policy violates the ADA.This review is aimed at Goodwill Industries nationwide, I know that it isn’t just this store and the employees are forced by the larger corporation to enforce the discriminatory policy. I feel bad that the employees are being forced to bother customers like this. They need to be paid more if they are going to be put into potentially confrontational situations over such a controversial issue. It’s not right.
Mostly clothing. Some odds and ends but not much.
The inside of the store organized ok. But the donation area outside is discusting. Trash, clothing and miscellaneous items thrown about. While empñyees hang out in the office area. Please get it ckeaned people.
They don’t have that much stuff there but what they did have was decently priced
Have some of the friendly EST staff. Great prices
They lie and call themselves a non profit when half the stuff that is donated gets shipped off to sell elsewhere they are bleeding are town dry don’t give ur stuff to these crooks yes I do know this for a fact half of the stuff donated DOES NOT MAKE IT TO THE FLOOR THEY SHIP IT ELSE WHERE TO SELL FOR MORE PROFIT FOR THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY TO BUY MORE PRIVET ISLANDS
Lots to look at. Great prices.
The customer service policies at this store are wretched, and the representatives are hit or miss, at best. I have been a 2-4 time per weekly customer to this store since they moved into the East State St. location. I’ve spent thousands of dollars and been an incredibly loyal customer for many many years. I visited the store on Columbus road today and had not one, but two egregious experiences, back to back! Very much to my disappointment, I will never spend another dollar at this store. I recommend New2You instead. Goodwill Athens will treat you like your business doesn’t matter. There is no way to reach out to higher management, and the buck stops there. 1/10
Usually always have a pleasant experience with goodwill of athens. Sometimes I feel the prices can be a bit high but if I feel that is the case I may ask if they can do better or just put it back and look at another local thrift store. But I do recommend people to shop here as it does help the community as well.
Not a good selection, prices are alright for what they do have. Would bot recommend entering this goodwill unless you have hand sanitizer on standby, always makes me feel gross. If you want a goodwill, go to Logan.
It was great,the assistant Manager, Katy that came from Logan Goodwill to work in Athens , was a Tremendous Help .I couldnt of ask for a better experience
As of 2017, the store seems to be a lot cleaner and well run BUT that has come at the cost of finding anything unusual it seems. In a word the offerings other than clothing are sparse. They used to have a big section for furniture: gone. And about 100 neckties at any one time, so it was fun to hunt through them for the odd, clean, vintage gem: gone. So really, other than clothes there just isnt that much to recommend about the store nowadays.
Staff is always pleasant and kind. Especially today when they allowed me to use the restroom even though its not for customers.
I like it. My kid likes it even more. It makes sense to me. Good jams too.
Their prices are higher than most Goodwills, including ones in bigger citys like Parkersburg or Columbus and they dont have nearly as much selection as others either. They do keep it really organized and clean.
Pretty good spot to pick up some deals. Clean, friendly, pleasant and they have fitting rooms. Cant beat first Tues 50% sale.
Prices are quite high, I personally liked the store better when it was on East State street
I love coming here! The staff is always very nice and helpful, and they have a great selection of all kinds of stuff!
Its a lil frustrating that nothing in the store is cheaper then 99c. When they get everything donated!!!
Very nice and friendly employees and clean environment.
Great place to find bargains on household items, clothing, some electronics and furniture. Clothing displayed clean and neatly hung and organized by sex/size...
Prices too high on some items. Clothing items not shelved or grouped by size as stated. Good store but not the best.
Good prices nice stuff also great workers
Always find something good.Very friendly people very helpful!
Prices are too high and there housewheres and such are lil dirty and very unorganized
Very dirty like extremely dirty no effort to keep clean and had very loud music
Many things need repair and they are not best displayed with care. Its many salvage pieces and things need to cleaning before places on the sells floor.
Good selection of items. I can usually always find a few things to buy here.
Prices could be better. Wondering what exactly Goodwill does back for the community? Like, locally, what are they helping Athenians with?
Great place to find deals!friendly service! Clean and organized!
They are to high pridest cause of the students I go all the way to Lancaster and columbus to shop
One of 8 stores I work at and its ran by one of our top manager and the newest of the 8 locations
The pricing is to much and they sell crappy stuff I can go to Jackson or Chillicothe and get better stuff for my money just saying the truth
One of the better thrift shops. They dont have yard sale cast away junk.

2022-06-03Clean store with welcoming and helpful customer service. Always has better large item prices compared to other Goodwills.
Review №3
2022-05-26Extremely Expensive Considering Most Of Their Inventory Are Donated! Honestly Youd Be Much Better Off To Check Out Restore or New To You.
Review №4
2022-05-18Resold something I already purchased! Make sure to mark something for a later pick up. Then had the nerve to make wait to figure out how to refund me. Very disappointed, ruined my kids day. Thanks!

2021-11-15This goodwill is clean and had some nice things but only 1 star for the annoyance of having to leave mid-shopping because my child had to use the bathroom. And there are no stores nearby to go into! There is nothing more annoying than a store that is nice and obviously offers restrooms for employees to not allow a child (or adult) a place to use the bathroom. Definitely don’t recommend for families shopping.

2022-06-25Pretty shopped through. It’s clear that they are sending their better items to higher-income areas.

2022-05-02Prices are way too high to be a donation based store and its hard to get any help. They act like they are too busy in the back doing things.

2021-01-22I really like it at Goodwill they got great prices some of the prices I thought were high but I paid good money for great items,they have tons of cloths n various things, I bought a lot of hoodies and a lot of comfy pants, I was very excited to go my first time, and I had a great experience. The employees was very kind n helpful. I think people would like it to, n enjoy their selves.
