Goodwill of Central Iowa 170 Southeast Laurel Street, Waukee, IA 50263

"I understand that proceeds go towards helping others but prices seem a bit high to me. I have a limited budget and was unable to buy anything here."

"I like this goodwill because the staff is nice but the prices are way too high for a lot of items. Definitely don’t even bother on the shoes here as most of them are marked up over $10 for used shoes. They aren’t open on Sunday either right now which really sucks since goodwill deals club only runs like every other weekend."

"Horrible customer service!! Went here at 7:19 in a Tuesday night. All the lights were on, the sign still said open OPEN and door was unlocked. Proceeded to enter the store and walked around for about 3-5 minutes. Employee comes out and says “you know we’re closed right?” and continued to say “if you could leave now that would be nice” after we acknowledged that we needed to leave and started to head towards the door he said “we’re gonna turn the lights off”. Whoever this guys was could have approached the situation differently. We had stuff in our hands and would have purchased about $60 worth of merchandise. They should have turned their lights off and locked the door. It was clear past closing time and store was openly available to the public. I will not be returning to this store."

"Worst Goodwill is the waukee. High prices, Rude and condescending employees. Don't waste your time or money there."

"I shop at three Goodwill stores in Des Moines area, usually once a week, Waukee mostly. I am disappointed with high prices on some name brand items .Items that were donated, no cost to Goodwill. The sign for shoes reads 6.99 but a pair of Nike shoes are marked 19.99. And a Jewel purse marked 19.99 where the signs states purses are 5.99. Most people shopping at Goodwill are lower income and it is exciting to find something for a lower price that they would never be able to afford otherwise. Now Goodwill seems to be more concerned about making lots of money rather than helping people. Big business get richer and the poor people stay poor. I buy shoes because I like them and the price but if they’re a name brand given to Goodwill and they gouge the price I can’t afford them . I’ve noticed most of your prices have increased, like every business has in this country.. The difference is your items are given to you. My shopping there will decrease because of this. Shame on Goodwill!"
