The Neighborhood

Canton is a historic mill town nestled in the Pigeon River valley, just west of Asheville in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Plaza Loop location provides easy access off Highway 19/23, making it convenient for both Canton residents and visitors passing through on their way to the Smoky Mountains. This working-class community values practical shopping options, and the Goodwill store fits perfectly within the town's down-to-earth character and appreciation for sustainability.

Parking

Parking at the Canton Goodwill is straightforward and stress-free, with ample spots available in the Plaza Loop shopping center lot directly in front of the store. The lot provides easy access for loading larger items, and the donation center entrance is conveniently accessible for drop-offs. You'll rarely have trouble finding a space, even during peak shopping hours on weekends.

Shopping Tips

  • Visit early in the week (Monday-Tuesday) when new donations from the weekend have been processed and put on the sales floor
  • Check Goodwill NWC's website for current sales and color tag discounts that rotate weekly
  • Inspect electronics and test zippers, buttons, and seams before purchasing
  • Download the Goodwill NWC app to stay updated on special promotions and half-off sale days
  • If you see something you like, grab it immediately—quality items at thrift stores rarely last more than a day or two
