| - This Goodwill is my 2nd favorite in the Charlotte area for overall deals and selection. In my humble opinion, this store seems to be the largest Goodwill in Charlotte, unless you count that ramshackle Goodwill store on Freedom Dr. *shudder*
Few people would drive to Albemarle Rd. to visit a thrift shop because its, well East Charlotte. But after shopping at other Goodwills, I've been pleasantly surprised with the selection of appliances, furniture, books, and clothes. They have a good selection of furniture and its normally salvageable and microwaves for $10-$15. The book section is actually larger that most thrifts stores. You'll find alot of fluff (read:Danielle Steel, James Patterson), but you can find some real treasures as well. They seem to get alot of overstock books at this location.
The men's clothes are decent. I've found nice sports coats and shirts that are slightly worn, but not necessarily threadbare. The clothing is not as good as the Matthews Plantation Goodwill, but don't dismiss the clothing completely. Customer service is predictably unpredictable, but oh well. If you're looking to furnish an apartment with little $$$, find a pelvic thrust exercise machine, or get some sensible threads, this Goodwill is a good bet.
