Goodwill Industries of Eastern NC is a thrift store offering a wide variety of donated items, from clothing and shoes to books, bikes, and household goods like cooking supplies. The store mission is to create education, employment, and life enrichment opportunities. Experiences with the store vary. Some customers find it nice, clean, very well kept, and organized, with fair prices and a constant rotation of new items being sold. They report finding great treasures and good deals, noting that patient shoppers can discover humble, great, and simple treasures. Other reviews express disappointment, stating the store is not fancy and can be somewhat messy, with items like toys randomly thrown into bins. A common criticism is that prices have increased, with many feeling donated merchandise is now priced too high, making it feel less like a traditional thrift store. Some customers feel any special luxury or higher-end items have been removed, so it is not a place to find hidden gems or hidden treasures, despite having nice items and very nice employees. The overall advice is that if you see something, you should get it, as nicer things do not last long.
Love finding treasures. Wished they treated the employees better. They put out stuff every day, and I go every day and love the selection.

Like most NC Goodwills it’s not fancy and somewhat messy. The thing I dislike most is how the toys are randomly thrown into a bin.

Nice and clean. Fair prices. Clothes hanged by color, not by size. There are some bins you can go thru in the back, a lot of items to choose from. Everything from slippers to books and bikes. Very well kept and organized. I'll come back!
