Goodwill

This is not a goodwills I have ever been wow. Great one. Prices are way better than any other goodwills. Clothes looks like really new: O people friendly and nice.

Came to the plaza looking for the party store and noticed this was there. Wandered in as part of my pre-​Halloween hunting. Looks big from the exterior, but disappointing inside. I’ve been to several Goodwill stores in Sacramento (Arden, W Stockton, Franklin) which are much bigger, and pricing isn’t as high. It felt cramped trying to get around the store, tried on a few things but didn’t end up purchasing anything. The housewares section is also a tight squeeze and not organized very well. Would rather go to ThriftTown.

I know it’s a thrift store, but these are some lazy employees they hire. Go to SPCA instead.

Prices are clearly marked. My friends who regularly shop at other Goodwill stores were impressed with how clean and organized this store was. One thought that the prices might be a little higher than similar items at other Goodwill stores. I left without buying anything but may return for a wicker elephant end table if it is still there in a day or so. Please buy it before I do, it’s really cute but I don’t need more stuff in my house.

Still love going here any time am visiting Davis. It is now my go-​to store over Novato. Shoes, men and Women’s clothes… love the hunt!

They try too hard to be an actual store rather than a thrift store. Unless you find 50% ticketed stuff it will be over priced.

Great store its smaller then most Sacramento goodwills but I still found some great buys. :)

The prices here are pretty high. Also, if you buy anything electronic, TAKE IT HOME AND TEST IT RIGHT AWAY! I thought they tested things before selling them, but apparently I was wrong. I spent $ 20 on a small kitchen appliance. I didn’t use it for a couple days, and when I tried to use it I found it didn’t work whatsoever. When I called, they said you only had 24 hours to test it. So, that sucked.

Great place and if u go few times a week u will find things that are really nice.
If u are looking for «shopping time»
With a low budget this is the place.

I purchased 6 items and only came home with 5. The guy who rung me up at the register was very nice, just apparently forgot to put that last item in the bag. It was just a black wristlet. $ 2.99. I live 10 minutes away, and am already settled at home so i guess ill let it go. if it means anything, i was rung up at 4:44pm 11/​20/​2013

Great selection of good brands and in style clothes at discounted prices. I have bought many pairs of jeans here at under $ 20 for jeans that normally would coast well over $ 80. Often gets brand name purses and accessories. High quality used product in a boutique feel.

I’ve been to a few Goodwills in other cities and every single one of them are way better than this place.
From the outside, the place looks really big and nice. I mean, it did just open a few months ago. Inside, however, was smaller than All Things Right and Relevant and the SPCA Thrift Store. There are two sections in the store, one for clothing and the other for everything else. They have a really small selection for men, a decent selection for women, and a pretty small selection of everything else.
The main reason why I’m giving this place 1 star is because the prices are extremely jacked up. I saw used WALMART mountain bike was being sold for $ 50… A new one probably costs $ 70. Some shirts were at least $ 3 – 7 more than the SPCA store. A pair of used shorts were being sold at $ 20, which was probably the original price to begin with.
I’m extremely disappointed in this Goodwill and won’t be coming back.

I had high hopes for this Goodwill. I have been to this Goodwill twice and always leave disappointed. The prices arefreakin’ ridiculously high. A lot of the clothing I saw were priced at $ 15+. I was browsing through the kids area and for some reason many things were under $ 15. I saw boys Levis jeans going for 5 bucks.
Compared to other Goodwill stores I’ve been to, this place is crap. It isn’t spacious like all the other ones I’ve been to. Anyway, if you really want to hit up a better Goodwill I suggest you go to the ones in Sac! I don’t think I’ll be coming back. :\

Half off sale on ⁷⁄₄. Joint was packed like sardines. The kids got a load of dress-​up clothes, so, not a bad value. Still have janky inventory though the staff is nice and helpful
Ya feel me?

I went in with low expectations, as Goodwills are usually ⁴⁄₁₀ for thrift stores imo, and even then I was disappointed.
Even higher prices than I’m used to at Goodwill, and the selection isn’t any larger or better than the SPCA thrift store downtown.
This place even makes R&R look good, which is impressive.

Totally disappointed. It’s sooo small. Hardly any housewares. I dropped in and left basically. From the other posts I read, it’s expensive too so I will not be back. What a shame. Considering there’s really no shopping in Davis unless you’re «Forever 21»…

Waaaaay overpriced stuff. $ 8.50 for a used Old Navy T that was probably $ 6.50 new. With SPCA and R&R in town, no need to shop here.

Isn’t it kinda weird how all the «ghetto» stores in Davis are all situated in one shopping center?
I mean Grocery Outlet, Dollar Tree, Phil’s Hydroponics, and now Goodwill are all situated in the same plaza and no other corporate discount stores exist anywhere else in Davis. It’s like the Davis urban planners were like «welp, if these stores must exist, lets contain the ghettoness to one area, like an infection»
Anyways back to the review. From the outside, this good will looks huuuuuge, and I was therefore stoked when first found out this would be it’s location. However, when I walked in I was shocked to see that the store is maybe a little bigger that the Yolo county SPCA thrift store! This is a tiny goodwill!
Well, size doesn’t matter– as long as you got the goods at a crazy low price, you can still be a successful Goodwlll.
NOPE. like the previous reviewer said, prices are more comparable to a ROSS with a lot of the store being whole retail prices. *Earth to Goodwill* if we wanted to pay full price for stuff, we would go to the gazillion other retail stores in Davis– we are here because we want like 10 t-​shirts for like 2 $.
Until they conform to some of the other Goodwills I have been to, namely stupid low prices with decent product, I will not be back.

This location just opened, and as a self-​proclaimed thriftaholic I’m proud to write the first review!
I honestly could not have been more disappointed. I was so happy Davis was finally getting a Goodwill, and I even counted down the days to the grand opening. What an amateur; I should have known it would be an overpriced joke.
First of all, the place is half the size of most Goodwills. It’s small, cramped and broken up into two separate rooms — one «large» room for clothing/​accessories and one smaller room with housewares. They have all of their clothing sorted by size, which is nice, but they added anti-​theft tags to every piece of clothing which makes carrying items around and trying them on really annoying, and it’s ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I mean, seriously? An anti-​theft tag on a used dress that was donated to the store for free? Ain’t nobody got time for that.
The prices. I just can’t even. For these prices, I can go to Marshalls, Ross, or even Target — and that stuff hasn’t been owned by God-​knows-​who. To give you an idea of how outrageous their prices are… I found a tote bag priced at $ 22, a pair of heels priced at $ 20, a sundress priced at $ 20 and a cardigan priced at $ 15. If I’m going to buy something that someone else’s calluses have been in, at least give me the dignity of getting them cheap!
The housewares section smelled like barf. Not sure what that’s about but hopefully it was temporary and I don’t get the stomach flu in the next 24 hours. I had to immediately leave that area because it was so rank, and I wasn’t missing much — a couple of plates, an overpriced dinette set ($ 80 for a 3-​pc set?!), and some beat up puzzles probably priced at $ 50 each.
Annnnnd the icing on the cake — while walking around, I overheard two of the young employees talking about a cute piece of clothing they’d seen. One quietly told the other to go «put it in the back».
Not going back until they realize they are selling donated, USED goods and start pricing their items fairly. They also need to stop hoarding things for themselves in the back and invest in some air fresheners.
Yikes.
