Goodwill Outlet Store

The Goodwill Outlet Store on Kilihau Street represents thrifting at its most adventurous in Honolulu. Unlike traditional Goodwill locations, this outlet operates on a by-the-pound pricing model, offering some of the most affordable secondhand shopping in all of Hawaii. Large bins filled with clothing, housewares, and miscellaneous treasures are regularly rotated throughout the day, creating a treasure hunt atmosphere that keeps dedicated bargain hunters coming back. Locals affectionately call the Honolulu Goodwill Outlet the 'bins,' and it's become something of an institution for sustainability-minded Oahu residents. Beyond the thrill of the hunt and unbeatable prices, shoppers appreciate how this location diverts tons of usable goods from Hawaii's landfills while supporting Goodwill's employment and training programs that serve the island community.

What They Sell

The Goodwill Outlet Store offers an ever-changing inventory sold primarily by weight rather than individual pricing. Shoppers can expect to find clothing for all ages, household goods, books, toys, electronics, and unexpected treasures that might appear in any bin rotation. The condition of items varies widely, from nearly new to items needing minor repairs, making this location perfect for crafters, upcyclers, and those willing to dig for hidden gems. Unlike curated thrift stores, the outlet operates on a more raw, unfiltered donation model where patience and persistence often lead to remarkable finds at a fraction of typical thrift store prices.

The Neighborhood

Located in Honolulu's Mapunapuna industrial district, this Goodwill Outlet sits in a practical, no-frills area that's surprisingly accessible from most parts of Oahu. Just minutes from the H1 freeway and Nimitz Highway, it's conveniently positioned between downtown and the airport. The surrounding businesses are primarily commercial and industrial, creating ample parking and a straightforward shopping experience without the congestion of Honolulu's more tourist-heavy districts.

Parking

The Kilihau Street location offers ample free parking directly in front of and around the store, a significant advantage in Honolulu where parking can often be challenging. The industrial area setting means you'll find plenty of spaces even during peak shopping hours. The parking lot is level and easily accessible from the main road, with no complicated garage structures or parking fees to navigate.

Shopping Tips

  • Bring gloves for digging through bins comfortably and hygienically, as items aren't pre-sorted or cleaned.
  • Dress comfortably in cool clothing as the warehouse-style space can get warm, especially during busy bin rotations.
  • Set aside at least 1-2 hours for your visit to properly search through the ever-changing inventory.
  • Consider bringing your own reusable bags or containers, especially for smaller items that might be difficult to carry.
  • Keep an eye out for the colored tags on any individually priced items, as these sometimes indicate additional discounts beyond the by-pound pricing.
