Grand Opening Date Set for New Southern Indiana Goodwill Outlet

The former Eastside Goodwill store will soon be home to Evansville's first Goodwill Outlet Store.

What is a Goodwill Outlet or Bin Store?

If you've ever wondered about those unique stores where items are displayed in bins rather than on racks, you've probably stumbled upon a Goodwill Outlet or Bin Store. These stores offer a shopping experience unlike any other, where you can uncover hidden gems and potentially make a profit.

How is a Goodwill Outlet Different from a Regular Goodwill?

While both Goodwill stores and Outlets are dedicated to providing affordable shopping options and giving back to our community, there are some key differences:

Pricing: Goodwill Outlets use a unique pricing model where items are sold by weight. This means you can find great deals on larger items, but smaller items might not be as cost-effective.
Layout: The layout of a Goodwill Outlet is quite different from a traditional store. Items are organized in bins throughout the store, making it a more treasure-hunt-like experience.
Returns: There are no returns allowed at Goodwill Outlets, so it's essential to inspect items carefully before purchasing.

Tips for First-Time Shoppers

Arrive Early: To get the best selection, it's recommended to arrive early as new bins are stocked daily.
Wear Gloves: Because items are stored in bins, it's a good idea to wear gloves to protect yourself from sharp objects.
Bring a Big Bag: Carts might be limited, so come prepared with a large bag to carry your purchases.
Understand the Rules: Each Goodwill Outlet has its own specific rules, so it's important to familiarize yourself with them before shopping.
