We have a Goodwill outlet store in St. Louis. I had to go in to satisfy my curiosity - Definitely NOT the same quality. Everything in the outlet store was in much poorer condition than what I usually find in the regular stores. I think it is stocked with items that are not considered good enough for one of their regular stores or what hasn't sold after a period of time in a regular store. Lots of the items were broken or missing pieces. The people that seemed to be loading up their carts were spending a lot of time going through items to find something worth buying.
