Goodwill of Silicon Valley, San Jose CA

As to be expected it is always a hit or miss at any Goodwill store, because each store is slightly different in what they have

Bigger and tidier than other local stores, this Goodwill is a favorite for great finds and friendly, helpful staff.

I was lucky enough to score a brand-new barbecue today. I wanted to be sure that it worked and Megan’s help was invaluable. She finished setting it up, figured out the connections and some special features that I would still be puzzling over and helped me load the car. It really made my holiday!

Much gratitude to Megan and Goodwill!

RUDE staff, especially the old man here who seems to be the manager. He is VERY grumpy and does not seem to enjoy his life. If you come here, AVOID HIM.

It is HUGE, very clean, and well organized. This is the best Goodwill I have ever been. I bought a heavy duty Home Depot tool cart from this place with a very nice deal. They help me to put it in their storage for 2 weeks because my car is not big enough to bring it home. After all, it is a super fun place to treasure hunt with good deals.

I usually don't like rummaging through a bunch of single items because it's very draining for me, but I had to get one champagne glass, one shot glass, and one wine glass. I didn't feel like paying full price for those types of items at a place like Bevmo, Macys, Target, or Crate and Barrel, because I knew I'd be able to score good quality ones at the Goodwill.

This location is the closest one to my sister's house and I was so impressed by how organized and spacious the place was. This is the type of place where I'd buy things like porcelain platters, cookware, and drinkware at a fraction of the cost.

The worst goodwill store. Less things than other store, highest price. The store manager is very rude.

I've always had really good shopping experiences at this particular Goodwill. I went in last night to see if I could pick up some clothes for bartending private events or Christmas parties this season. I was able to find all the clothes I needed and purchased them, but I didn't have enough money for the shoes. I asked the manager if there was anything could do, and explained that I'm trying to work my way out of a difficult situation. She looked at me and said I can see that you are really trying to turn things around, I'm going to buy the shoes for you myself and she pulled her wallet out and slid her own credit card! I and very grateful and wanted to thank Megan again for her kind gesture.
