Goodwill Outlet

Not sure what is going on at this location, but it seems to be either lacking donations, or more items are going to the online store or they don't have enough workers. The bins are not full, rotations are very infrequent and both times I've left spending far less than I normally do when shopping at this location. The cashiers that I have dealt with are very nice and respectful, the workers on the floor are loud, but just doing their jobs. I hope things turn around as I prefer this location, but will be visiting the other locations in Denver and Colorado Springs.

My daughters and I were in Denver for a softball tournament and we had the chance to try a few places.

My daughter found this place on tik tok and was dying to go thrifting here. We decided to go, but here are a few tips:

-Bring gloves. It is truly a big ass bin full of clothing and random items.
-Wear long sleeves. Again, it can be pretty gross, so wearing this extra layer of clothing would've probably eased some germ fears.
-Go through EVERYTHING. Pull up jackets, because underneath could be a great toaster.
-Bring plastic/reusable bags. Any type of bag. Trash bag, any bag, because your items will be weighed on a big weight on the ground...so plan accordingly.
-Parking. The parking is strange. It looks very industrial, so park on the street, or anywhere you can find parking.

The staff/cashier was super kind and friendly. It made the experience that much better.

Here is the mini haul we found for $13
-Off-White hoodie, the brand not the color
-2 Adidas pullovers
-grey sweatpants
-a LARGE stacking ring toy for toddlers
-Pink, the brand not the color leggings
-White hoodie, the color not the brand

Know the purpose of your visit!
The complaints of this place all revolve around how dirty it is. YES, It's filthy! I found myself reaching for my hand sanitizer more times than i could imagine. YES, it's packed, but thats only because it's a great place for cheap clothes and items. YES the staff is a little rude, but I couldn't imagine working there with so many people and the intense workload.
WITH THAT SAID! This place is amazing if you have patience. Id say that 95% of the stuff in the bins is useless and dirty or ripped. But that 5% is high quality clothing or Product at a good price.
SO, Id plan a trip here, If you want to find good stuff you might wanna come for a couple hours. BRING GLOVES AND HAND SANITIZER! But aside from the filth and high population, this is a very special place!

I stopped in when my teen was in the hospital for a week, went home with a car full. Fun place to find some real bargains.....399.99 backpacking sleeping bag, at 49 cents a pound, less then 5 bucks. Same one my son lost in a fire. Also a brand new gravity weighted blanket, $279.00 on the brand website, under $8.00. Package still sealed. Lots of great stuff at a real bargain. Some of the people were a little rude, but I found the cashier I went to very pleasant. Went there 5 days for the week for about an hour each time to kill time, wish I lived closer.

My kids and I love to shop at various thrift stores and do it all the time. This was our first time here though, and we woke up extra early to drive 30 minutes across town. We got there just after it opened. We'd been looking for about 5 minutes when an employee (older-ish woman with colorful hair) began yelling sternly "young man! Young MAN!" To my son, who was standing a few feet away from me. He looked confused and couldn't figure out why she was yelling at him. I walked over, took his hand and asked why she was yelling. She said "You're not allowed to be in here unless you're 16." I was very confused and asked what she was talking about, when she told us that we have to leave because he's not 16. (He's 10) She was not kind and gave no reason for her strange request. I asked if there was a sign posted, and she repeated, "you can't be here unless you're 16!" I walked over to get my daughter, and then to the front of the store to look for a sign with this ridiculous rule. There was no sign. I turned around to go back and speak with her or with someone else (I still wanted to shop!) but my kids were already mortified. People were staring. And then the thought crossed my mind. Not that my tiny little bit of business matters anyway, in the grand scheme of things, but...I didn't want to hand my hard earned money over to that rude weirdo anyway!!!! So we left, and went to about 6 other Goodwill stores and spent our money there.

IF THIS IS A RULE (albeit an incredibly stupid one) THEN POST A SIGN ON THE FRONT DOOR.

And quit yelling at our children. Unacceptable.

This place is truly my guilty pleasure. I love digging through the bins like a treasure hunt and finding some really great things!

My only complaints are: it's filthy. EVERYTHING'S filthy. Lol. There's even literal trash in the bins at times. I understand these items are the rejects/overstocks from different Goodwill's around town, but could ya clean it up a bit? Maybe have a completely separate center for cleaning/reprocessing? Lol, me and my dreams.

Second, there's never any shopping carts. Ever. So you have to bring your own "way" to cart your new found treasure around, which can really be a pain, depending on what you've dug up.

I've decided to start thrifting on Saturday's because I need to get out of my house. This place is odd. They roll out bins and people pounce on them like there is a million dollar lottery winner at the bottom. Kids under 16 are not allowed to reach into the bins and as I am typing, a female shrieked in the corner. The employee shook her head and said "ain't no telling what she found". I left feeling like I may have caught something.

Bring gloves and patience. If you want a clean store, this is the wrong place. It's meant for quick processing and turnover. Things I've found are the most beautiful throw blanket buried under a pile of electronics, books from early 1900s are great for upcycling, collage, font fiends! Another lady in line found a rosewood end table which I kicked myself for not finding first. It's a by-the-pound pricing so it's very cheap. Don't judge this place, it's for real digging and treasure hunting!

A few helpful hints: if you plan on staying there for awhile, invest in latex gloves, filtration mask and disinfecting wipes. If you see any carts, grab them. Many people who go stay there from open until close and they stay in sections around the perimeter as they fill up cart after cart. Some are there as they sell on eBay and others are there to send clothing and other items to relatives around the world.

I'd give it zero stars if I could the rules are extremely unclear. Staff was dismissive and rude. And so we're the other customers avoid this place like the plague honestly it's so dirty you could probably catch the plague here.

Yuck!

Yuck!!

Yuck!!!....

Well for someone's thrash indeed there might be someone's treasure. Hubs wanted to check out this place since this OUTLET is where we need to run some errands in this part of NeighborHOOD.

Definitely agree with some fellow Yelpers here in some shape or form.

DO BRING YOUR Personal Gloves, if you intend to "dig" thru the massive philes of unwanted thrash... and broken items, torn items etc etc...
