What's different about the Goodwill outlet?
Goodwill outlet stores differ from standard locations in one key way. Rather than paying per item, shoppers are charged per pound for most of the items in the store, ranging from clothing, shoes, home goods, toys and more, according to a press release.
The Romeoville location will have more than 100 tables for shoppers to peruse, according to the release.
More information can be found on the company’s website.
