    • LOVE shopping here! I can stay for hours. I always leave with lots of treasures for cheap! Rummaging through the bins is like a treasure hunt. If you are willing to look you can find some great stuff. I find clothes with tags all the time and lots of well known brands. At $1.49 a lb clothes are a steal. Paperback books are a quarter and hardbacks are 50 cents. I have a lovely stack of interesting books by my nightstand now. It's always fun when they bring the new bins out! The staff is wonderful. So excited they brought this to Cedar Rapids.

    • The staff were so helpful and friendly. We walked in not knowing what we were getting into but left full of wonder. You have to bring gloves or buy theirs for 1.99 and honestly that's one of the best deals in the place — you go into Home Depot or a garden center and gloves like that will be at least $8. Bathrooms were clean, accessible. They have water fountains. Place was generally a clean, bright, cheerful. We watched the process of new inventory arriving on the floor. It was all covered with a black sheet, then revealed for eager but friendly shoppers to sift through. What an exciting time! You pay for the clothes by the pound — truly cannot IMAGINE a better deal!!!

    • I came to this location for the first time and by their own standards they require you to have gloves to shop in their establishment. Conveniently they sell you some at the door if you don't have any. This is racketeering if I've ever seen it. It is not against the law to shock without gloves. This is a rule the came up with on their own. Yet if you don't come with gloves then you have to PURCHASE Their gloves for approximately $3. So they made $3 just for you to come shop and purchases items that were DONATED for FREE. Yet they claim they are a NON-PROFIT organization.

    • Today was my first time here. I did not know what an outlet store for Goodwill would entail. It was different because you have to wear work gloves in order to pick through the merchandise in bins. They charge by the pound, a tad less than $2 per pound of clothes. I found a pair of jeans in my size with the tags still on them (which of course will still be washed before they are worn). There are dishes, books, pots and pans, curling irons, crock pots, purses, and I saw a knitting machine that was very tempting. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The inside of the building is not very clean, but that is to be expected because of people tearing through items quickly and leaving wrappings and boxes on the floor. Before you leave, they weigh the cart with the clothes in it, and you can put it in a bag if you like, which are on the way out of the store. The yard is very well-kept and the building looks nice from the outside.

    • Walked into this location and realized it was not for the faint of heart. I didnt do my research before entering the establishment (recommended) i should've brought gloves as there was broken metal and glass items in the bins. You could find anything from stained under garments to possibly a homeless person sleeping in the bins ready to greet you with his good will

    • This outlet is ok. I wish the bins were more organized like other places, like bins for luggage, shoes, clothes only. They only have 3-4 rows of clothing left which disappoints for those who love finding clothes. It is ridiculous for the parents who come in and let their kids roam like free-range chickens. This isn't a daycare. Keep your children and teens with you at all times. Yes, teens. They can be just as obnoxious as the young children. Kids playing kickball in the walkway is not ok. On the plus side, there are some very nice workers there! If you think some of them are mean, chances are it's due to people or YOU not following the rules and them having to repeat COMMON SENSE stuff over the intercom. Or say it to your face in a stern way. They're trying to do their jobs. It's not a hangout to visit with people you know.

    • It's the greatest experience in dumpster diving without the trash and always good quality stuff. Makes you feel like you on a treasure hunt which makes it really fun cuz you never know what you'll find.

    • Not sure why you have to be 16yrs or older to shop at Goodwill. My two daughters wanted to shop for possible Xmas gifts for their brother and dad and weren't allowed to be in the store. I asked why and the employee could only say it had been that way since they reopened, but no actual reasoning. I understand Covid and all but We couldn't shop today because they are under 16, not even with a parent present. Smh

    • Always have fun at the Outlet GOODWILL!!
      Amy
    • It wonderful love to go to the bin side of this location everyone is very nice who works there
      Mike
    • Low end brands, smelled like a stereotypical dirty thrift store. Bulk pricing for clothes which is nice but it's at the absolute highest I'd pay for any of it ($4 tops $4.5 jeans/pants..). I had wanted to visit the outlet since I love the ones in Minneapolis and Denver but it's only open three days a week and so my mistake had driven down from Sioux Falls on a day they were closed. I might go back on a day the outlet is open but if it's anything like the main store it would be A HUGE disappointment and waste of time. My only hope lies in the fact that stuff for the outlet is also stuff shipped in from other stores that didn't sell because everything in there main store was dirty junk.

    • Hardly anything. Passive staff.
      Eric
    • Love this store! I always find great things that I need! Prices are reasonable. Staff is great
      Tammy
    • I would rate higher, but they are hardly open ever. There hours change all the time? However they are open 5 days a week yes. But for people who work during the day it's not practical. I miss coming here every Saturday with my mom, but we both work during the day so we cannot.
