Goodwill Distribution Center - North Outlet

The Goodwill Distribution Center - North Outlet on Scarbrough Drive is one of Austin's most unique thrift shopping destinations.

Located in Building 5 of the Scarbrough Drive complex in Austin, TX 78728, this spot has built a loyal following among bargain seekers, resellers, and sustainability-minded shoppers across the greater Austin area. With nearly 500 reviews logged, it's clear this isn't a hidden gem so much as a well-loved community staple.

What They Sell

As an outlet and distribution center, the Goodwill North Outlet in Austin, TX carries an exceptionally wide range of secondhand goods — from clothing and shoes to furniture, housewares, electronics, books, and random collectibles. Because items flow directly from donation processing, inventory changes rapidly and dramatically. Shoppers frequently report finding brand-name clothing, vintage pieces, small appliances, and home décor at prices well below what you'd see at standard thrift stores. It's a dream destination for resellers and estate sale enthusiasts alike.

The Neighborhood

Situated in North Austin near the tech corridors of Round Rock and the growing neighborhoods around Pflugerville, the Goodwill Distribution Center - North Outlet sits in a practical, accessible business park off Scarbrough Drive. The area is convenient for commuters traveling along I-35 and MoPac, drawing shoppers from Georgetown, Cedar Park, and throughout the Austin metro who want serious thrift finds without the downtown traffic.

Parking

The Goodwill North Outlet is located within a multi-building business park on Scarbrough Drive, so parking is generally straightforward. Expect a surface lot shared among the buildings in the complex. Parking is typically plentiful on weekday mornings, though weekend visits and peak afternoon hours may require a short walk from a neighboring section of the lot.

Shopping Tips

  • Visit early on weekdays — inventory at the North Outlet rotates frequently, and arriving at or just after 8AM gives you the best shot at untouched new stock before other shoppers and resellers pick through it.
  • Bring cash and a card — pricing can vary and occasional special sales or tag-color discount days can make card transactions faster at checkout.
  • Wear comfortable clothes and bring reusable bags or a cart — outlet-style shopping involves more digging and lifting than a typical thrift store, so come prepared for a hands-on experience.
  • Check Goodwill Central Texas's website at goodwillcentraltexas.org for any announced sale days or special discount events before making the trip from across Austin, TX.
  • Don't overlook the back shelves and overflow bins — some of the best finds at the North Outlet are tucked in less-trafficked spots that casual shoppers walk right past.
