I love the shoes, they’re brand new, my nice toll me, aunt I love your shoes and I replied her, guess what I bought them in Goodwill from Bel Air.

This store is so bad. The prices are absolutely ridiculous. Seriously do better in real stores. It’s really sad for people who are really struggling. They’ve become soooo greedy. I will never go back.

Worst goodwill I think I’ve ever been to. We shop goodwill a pretty good bit and throughout all the cities we travel to. This store was huge, but barely had anything. Everything was super overpriced. Literally had items that I can buy in store for much much cheaper or same price for brand new. I wouldn’t waste my time.

Good selection of clothes and their employees are nice. Other than that their shelves are sparse and their items are outrageously overpriced. Do better Goodwill.

I always find my name brand clothes here for cheap. And they have lots of Bible's here and Christian books. Also I got my comforter here as well as a whole new wardrobe. I got all my dress pants here and name brand coats. Also I got my big Victoria tote bag for 10 dollars here. The place is huge with tons of great stuff. I also got my microwave here and a fold up table for cheap. I get my scrubs from here too. This place is awesome and massive!

This is literally the worst goodwill I’ve ever been in, and I go to a lot of them. Whoever is in charge of deciding what to put out and throw away/ how to price an item needs to be fired, and should be arrested for how out of touch with reality they are.

No two goodwills are alike. This one tends to be a favorite of mine when I'm in Harford county, simply because of the size and sheer volume of goodies one can find. I've picked up excellent running shoes, dresses, coats, books, paintings, and so many other things. The staff is always very nice and helpful. And the other customers are usually a joy to interact with. It's a great place to stop over if you're looking for a bargain. Check out folding chairs the fabric covered kind and see what you can find. I got a set of them for $6.99 each. They usually go for at least $20 in most retail stores. And these chairs were almost as good as those.

I wish they had more furniture. It's pretty small, but I can usually always find what I'm looking for

Prices could be better. Pretty wide selection of stuff. Staff is nice. Found some cool things in there a couple times.

Big store, but the dressing rooms aren’t open. Spent thirty minutes grabbing clothes I liked only to find out I can’t try anything on… needless to say I left with nothing. Pretty big waste of time!

It was over all good.The help were very courteous. At the counter I sat my items out for easy pricing. One item had been reduced to 2.99 and it was taped.The girl took the tape and price sticker and threw it away. She went and came back with a price of 35 dollarsI told her that nothing back in electronics was marked that priceNeedless to say I was upset about the process I bought 45 dollars of merchandise and they wouldn't even sell just a cover of a record that the record was missing. When I paid I told the girl I wanted to put 25.dollars on my.credit card and balance in cashNo that didn't happen she put all on my cardSo my experience was lowered.The people shopping all stated that the prices were higher now than ever before. 3 stars out of 5

First off-very nice employees. The one star is based on this being one of the worst stocked Goodwills I’ve ever been to. And it’s not like the supply of goods ebbs and flows. There all always empty shelves or shelves with random garbage level items randomly sitting on them. And what’s really confusing is, if you go around the back you’ll see tons of donations sitting out there, regardless of the weather. It rained all day yesterday and today and there was a bunch of things sitting out there wet. Don’t waste your time with this one. Go to the one on rt 40.

This is a very nice Goodwill store I have been in here a few times shopping. It would be nice if things were a little bit more cleaned up and not so junky looking. The furniture area is always very scary. I also wish they would offer the opportunity to negotiate on the price on things because I think they sometimes set the prices too high. I understand that we are in the day of covert but their donation center could use a lot of work. The staff that work back there are very unfriendly and they're limited hours of operation make it very hard to try to donate to them.

This place does not even offer a public restroom. You mean to tell me that they expect people to travel over there to shop in their store, and not allow them to go to the bathroom if needed! How rude! And don’t even get me started on the over priced items. This place is a joke!

Pretty nice place. Small, but good variety of stuff. Prices are reasonable. Often find rare expensive items that are marked down really cheap. Most goodwill's know when something is expensive and will charge accordingly. But this one seems to just slap good prices on everything in order to keep inventory flowing. All in all, this place is a good "go-to" for people who like to hunt for hidden treasures, or just stock up on some clothes or kids toys.

Mostly over priced broken and worn out junk and the store is always almost bare inside.

Kung Pao shrimp was good. Roasted brussels sprouts were delicious. Steak and lobster was OK. Steak was not juicy. Raspberry tea was red, but little fruit flavor. Service was good. Waitress was very pleasant. They didn't pressure us to leave which was nice because we hadn't seen each other in months. Lots of catching up to do. (We've been friends 60 years!)

Goodwill is always a good spot to go to find some great deals, especially for projects. My girlfriend and I love to cosplay, so finding good steals on clothing is a must. Sometimes Goodwill can overcharge for their items, however. I recommend going early on the last Saturday of the month, the entire store is half off. However, it gets very crowded very quick, so go early! This particular store has always had friendly staff and accepts plenty of donations. This location, while definitely not dirty, has never been particularly clean, either. Minus a star for pricing and lack of proper cleanliness

Just walked out without buying anything on a Friday. The shelves are barren like they are closing. If they do have something, like a USED mirror, its $20. It's supposed to be a thrift store. Smh.

I love the hunt at thrift stores and you can have some fun hunting. However, I feel they are overpriced in general. For example, yesterday they had a 3 pair of socks (new) for sale for $8. Sorry, but they were simple fuzzy socks that you can get at the Dollar Tree for $1. Just one example, but you get the idea...

Prices have gone way too high and the place is full of unwanted junk from Target. Great for Halloween costumes. I think upper management is causing the place to go downhill. Much more junk is coming out and not enough nice things to even choose from anymore. Why do shoppers have to see rejects from Target?????

This is one of the bigger Goodwill locations in the area. They have a vast variety of items, ranging from clothing, toys, electronics, collectibles, movies, housewares etc. Be prepared to stand in a long line if you visit on a 50% Saturday. You will easily find the libe wrapping throughout the isles of the store.

I had to go back because they fidnt give me my 25% off discount. Then my sale had to be redone 5 times!! The manager finally came and did it right. Keep an eye on the person at the register. Make sure your sale is done right. I also asked for a separate bag for an item. I was told that it was no problem. But that wasn't done either.

Hands down the nicest Goodwill I've ever been to. Huge space, great selection, and they do a great job of putting out seasonal clothing and cute items in the "boutique" area. I went shopping for RennFaire clothes here and put together no less than 3! separate outfits.

Actually, this store has l lots of decent used items. Not a messy store. Employees are always helpful.

Not the place it used to be... My husband & I used to frequent this store but after a few redesigns the prices steadily climbed. I decided to stop in today & see if I could find any treasures since I had a coupon, but again I was very frustrated by the high prices. I don't know if that's because of their location or what, but other Goodwill stores near me have drastically better prices.

Love this place for furniture, housewares, and appliances. Finding decent everyday clothes is hit-or-miss. Though you could say that about almost any thrift store. Also, they have LOADS of vinyl and books.
