Goodwill Bins in Rock Hill

"I love this place, rock hill is lucky to have a bins store now. If youve been to other goodwill bins outlets, you’ll know that this facility is one of the nicest and cleanest. The bins are all clothes, with a row of shoes accessories and purses. A lot of goodwill mix multiple things in the bins so you need to know that coming here. You need to know that this is a pay by the pound place so dont expect the clothes to be sorted in any kind of way that’s not how goodwill outlets work. The workers that have feet on the ground need a raise bc I know they’ve been short staffed at times and they still hustle and make sure everyone’s following the rules which I SO appreciate. They work hard to keep this building clean and it is clean- which is something that makes shopping at the bins more pleasant. I see a lot of reviews here about their lack of rotation times- when they’re busy they rotate often and when they’re not they rotate once per hour it seems. I sometimes can only come in the evening, so I would really appreciate rotations still every hour until close but I’ve noticed they stop rotating around 6pm ish even if they close at 9. Also, more seating here would be much appreciated! All in all- I love this goodwill outlet store they do a great job!"

"As someone who has regularly visited this goodwills bins location as-well as others here is my opinion on the pros and cons of this location. Pros: the biggest strength of this location has to be the extremely clean building with amenities like places to sit between rotations, plenty of carts and even a water bottle refill. Additionally the Employees are kind and I’ve even had some nice conversations with what I assume to be the manger. While it could be a con for some the lack of hard goods bins is a benefit for those who mainly want to shop for clothing. Cons: The biggest con for this location has to be in my opinion the extremely apparent decline in the lack of variety of items rolled out over the past 6-8 months, to my understanding most items are unsold items from retail locations around town which of course is naturally going to produce more monotonous piles of clothing as it is more likely for the unique items to be pulled at the retail locations but it seems that these return / unsold piles are the obvious favorite of the store management as it is becoming painfully apparent these pre sorted bins are the only ones rolled out at this location compared to when the store first opened there was a better blend of not only returns / unsold items but also rags, and unsorted donations for example. I’m not sure if this a purposeful decision by management to cater to certain groups of customers that would rather not see items that might have potential flaws commonly found in the rag / unsorted donation piles but it has greatly decreased the enjoyment of digging for the possibility of finding something unique for shoppers like me. Another con being that the rotation times stated by the store as 20 minutes in various other responses is much closer to being past / around the 30 minute mark; Besides this the other cons aren’t particularly the stores fault such as that the location can get packed during peak hours so if you would like a more calm shopping experience it is better to show up in the later hours. In conclusion: Very clean location with friendly management / employees , but shop during off days either earlier or later in the day for a calmer shopping experience although don’t expect to find anything unique due to the managements preference to exclusively roll out cleaner presorted retail location return / unsold items which results in a more picked through item pool with less variety compared to other locations such as the newton or Asheville location. Overall had potential to be the best location in North Carolina and it probably was for a short period upon opening but due to the increasingly growing lack of variety pushed out to the floor it is overall a average location."

"Today was my first time at the Goodwill Outlet, and I loved it! The store is big, clean, well organized, and even smells good. The staff is friendly, and the customers were nice and respectful to each other—which is a big deal if you’re a reseller. The merchandise was pretty good, with some nice brands to find. I’d definitely recommend checking it out. Happy thrifting everyone! 😊"

"This place is pretty cool and definitely a good deal! They throw everything in bins and you have to dig/sort through each one but it is well worth the $1.99/lb to put in the work yourself. They have a small furniture section, books, some shelves with kitchen stuff and toys...but the real fun is the bins and bins of clothes, shoes, purses, scarves, and bags. All of the cashiers I have encountered have been pleasant and kinda, but Dominique really goes out of her way to make you feel special! Ive only been during the week and it gets a little crowded but is still tolerable. I dont know if Id go on the weekend since Im sure its swamped then but if youve got the patience and some time to kill, you can definitely find something worthwhile!"
