THE OUTLET

At the outlet:

• Items are placed in bins rather than organized by category

• Prices are based on weight, not individual price tags

• Inventory changes frequently throughout the day

• Shopping is more hands-on and treasure-hunt style

Every visit is different, and that’s part of the fun!

Most items are sold by the pound, with pricing posted clearly in the store. Certain items (like books or media) may have a separate per-item price. Prices are lower than traditional retail stores, helping shoppers stretch their budget while supporting community programs.

New bins are rotated throughout the day at scheduled times. For everyone’s safety, customers are asked to step back during bin changes and wait until staff give the all-clear before shopping.

Yes — and they’re all about safety and fairness. Common guidelines include:

• No running or pushing

• No reaching into bins during rotation

• Be respectful of other shoppers and staff

• Children must stay with adults at all times

Our team will gladly help explain the process during your visit.

Many shoppers like to bring:

• Gloves (optional, but helpful)

• Reusable bags or boxes

• Comfortable shoes

• A little patience and a sense of adventure 😊

Items come directly from donations and may not be tested or cleaned. We encourage shoppers to inspect items carefully before purchasing.

You’ll find a wide variety of donated goods, including:

• Clothing and shoes

• Housewares

• Books and media

• Toys and accessories

• Occasionally furniture or electronics

Inventory changes constantly, so you never know what you’ll discover.

All outlet purchases are final sale. Because items are sold by the pound and move quickly, we encourage careful selection before checkout.

Everyone! Our outlet serves:

• Families and bargain hunters

• Resellers and small business owners

• Thrifting enthusiasts

• Community members looking to save money while supporting a mission-driven nonprofit

Every purchase helps fund Goodwill Industries of the Summit’s job training, employment services, and career pathways for people in our community. When you shop at the outlet, you’re helping transform lives through the power of work.

Absolutely. First-time shoppers are always welcome! Our team is happy to explain how everything works and help make your visit a positive experience.
