A treasure with every visit

If you’re looking for a place to do a treasure hunt for namebrand and quality clothing, shoes, accessories, and housewares… Goodwill is the place for you. The store in Mandeville is well organized, clean, neat and has a very friendly staff. It’s conveniently located on Highway 22 with ample, free parking in the lot right outside. It’s worth a stop and a visit!

Friendly, Hardworking Staff

I have been here a few different times kind of killing time and on a scavenger hunt. Just looking to see what I could find. Store was pretty tidy, and the staff was super nice. They have always greeted me every time I enter the store and been nice to me. I feel sorry at times for the people taking in donations because they really get a lot and those people work really hard.

Great Finds with Amazing Deals

This Goodwill had many great finds and I didn't even make it through the whole store! Mostly friendly workers and the store is fairly well organized. Be sure to ask about if they have a sale for certain items that day (by the color of the tags) when you walk in. Also, some items will have an extra tag on it to indicate the price for it; keep a lookout for those. Some things had their original tag on them! The donation drop-off is in the back of the building. Everyone I saw was wearing masks and seemed to be trying their best to social distance. The dressing rooms are open for use. There are six dressing rooms.
