Discover Deals at the Goodwill Outlet Center

Serving as a “last chance” clearinghouse for our donated goods, items are placed unsorted in large bins and sold by the pound.

Rolling up your sleeves and sifting through unsorted textiles and wares isn’t for everyone, but avid thrifters LOVE discovering hidden gems and low, low prices. The bins are rotated with fresh content throughout the day.

$1.69 per Pound

Outlet Shopping Tips

  • Bring bags or boxes to transport your purchases home.

  • Wear sturdy gloves when sorting through merchandise due to potential sharp objects.

  • For your safety, when merchandise bins are rolled onto the sales floor, please move out of the way. Please stand back until a Goodwill team member indicates “okay to shop” before approaching the bins.

  • The outlet is strictly “cash and carry” meaning we cannot hold or set aside your items. If shopping for furniture or other large items, please make sure you have a vehicle that can transport your purchases at the time of sale.

  • Monitor your cart and personal belongings! You are responsible for safeguarding.

  • Test electronics in designated areas.

  • Bring batteries to test toys and measuring tape if purchasing furniture.

  • Be patient and be courteous to fellow shoppers.

  • If bringing children, please do not leave them unsupervised; they must be accompanied by an adult.

  • If you plan on visiting our regular store afterwards (located next door), please take your purchased items to your car first.

  • Clean your treasures when you get home. Wash what you can in hot water and use disinfectant wipes on toys, books, and other items. Rent a steam cleaner at your local hardware store to deep clean soft furniture.
