NOT an “ACTUAL” GOODWILL STORE! It’s an Electronic Auction/outlet. This area needs an ACTUAL GOODWILL STORE! But there is SALVATION ARMY, THANK GOD! I am all for the bookstores & even the electronics but put an actual Goodwill store please!

Me gustó la atención del personal y en la tienda encontré algunas cosas que buscaba pero el fuerte ahí son las subastas de mercancías variadas en pallets

Auctions and electronics store. Different discounts during the week, no student or senior discounts at this location. Cheaper than regular Goodwill shops, but have to look harder to find stuff. If your looking for mostly electronics and accessories, this is the place. Lost power cables, laptop power cable, speaker blew out, lost remote, etc? You probably can find it here. So far I've bought Yamaha HDMI receiver, dvd remotes, blu ray players, cox cable modems, sound bars, wine fridge, misc. cables and even a stock stereo for my van. No complains. There's also workbench to test out electronics.

I've been in this location enough times to finally do a decent review of it and if you don't feel like reading a long winded explanation all you need to know is this: don't bother coming here as an individual customer since anything good isn't available for sale and the few things that are available get sold to a literal cartel of buyers. Find a decent non-crime ridden goodwill.

Now if you feel like reading on. The location itself is nice enough (building wise) but it's 100 percent geared for huge moneyed interests who buy stuff from the USA and then resell in Mexico. Most of the staff will reserve any of the good items to sellers they know personally so you'll be out of luck if you think you're snagging something. All of these sellers essentially no joke form a goodwill cartel of sellers who seem to have dibs on everything. Management at this goodwill seems to be aware but they don't seem to care or are very likely in on how the selling and buying is done. Next let's speak about the trash in the parking lot, it's everywhere and there will be literal caravans preventing you from parking blaring loud music during your whole stay (and no security won't help you or care)and you'll be driving through trash that the poor overworked goodwill workers try to constantly sweep. Be very careful getting items of interests it's not unusual for you to be accosted or threatened with violence by the big buyers outside if they feel your item should've been theirs . That being said if you need a charger or something or happen to be in the area then sure swing by they have literal totes of the stuff they can't get rid off. If you have to go here for any reason go closer to closing time since the big buyers by then will be gone and you'll have a decent time to scour anything that for some reason nobody could tell had some value. I've snagged an x230, a mech keyboard, and even a decent Nvidia card. Of course this been over the course of about 2 years now so that should tell you how bad this location is. All I have to say is this, I've been in some shady goodwills but this one takes the cake.

Good luck if you come here. Or better. Don't.

They sent me out at 1:20. Previously bought a computer here and am happy with it. Super low price on hard drives.

This about security and management
Security they pick on the working poor for petty things and they over look alot of safety and fire issues
They throw away too much merchandise that can be resold but they are more interested in filling up the landfill
Raises are rare and the turnover rate is real high
Security chords it's employees just to sign things they shouldn't

It's really nice and clean. The retail area is so small, and it's nothing like the old one in downtown. I really miss the old downtown one because it had everything.
