There’s only 1 Goodwill Outlet, or Goodwill Bins, located in Louisville, Kentucky.

This location was formerly a Big Lots store, that was converted to the first Goodwill Outlet in Kentucky in 2022. For this reason, you may not see updated imagery on Google Maps when you navigate here.

If you’re a thrifty person, and a shopper at Goodwill thrift stores, this Goodwill Outlet is different. Instead of clothing racks and different sections for different types of merchandise, this outlet is more of room full of treasures, sorted into large blue bins. Imagine walking into a large warehouse type building with dozens of large blue bins containing hundreds of pieces of clothing.

These are a hotspot for people who are willing to dig for some treasure. The best part? It’s all charged by weight (for example, $1.99/lb).

If you’re looking to buy items to flip for a profit, or add designer brands to your closet for cheap, this is a great place to visit.

But with more re-sellers and vintage collectors than ever before, make sure to come prepared early in the morning with a set of gloves and a large shopping bag, as the Goodwill carts may go quickly. And based on the Goodwill outlet you’re shopping at, shoving between highly competitive shoppers is a possibility.

If you don’t find anything on your first visit, remember that there are new bins full of items that are rotated every single day. With consistency and a little luck, you’ll be sharpening your thrifting skills and striking gold in no time. Goodluck.
