If you love thrifting as much as I do, you know the excitement of finding that perfect vintage jacket, quirky decor piece, or brand-new-with-tags treasure hiding on the rack. Starting in 2026, Evansville-area thrift fans are getting even more time to hunt for deals.

When Evansville Goodwill’s New Store Hours Begin

Evansville Goodwill Industries has announced new extended store hours across all of its local retail locations. Beginning January 4, all Evansville Goodwill retail stores will be open 9 am to 8 pm seven days a week, including Sundays.

Why Longer Hours Matter For Local Thrift Shoppers

For frequent thrifters, weekend resellers, and anyone who loves secondhand shopping, the added Sunday hours are a big win. Fewer early closings means more time to browse, more opportunities to donate, and more chances to support Goodwill’s mission while scoring great finds.

How Goodwill Purchases Support Community Programs

Goodwill’s retail stores play an important role in our community. Purchases help fund job training programs, career support services, and employment opportunities for local residents. So every thrifted sweater or vintage lamp you bring home also helps support someone working toward financial stability.

Which Evansville Locations Are Included In The Changes

The new hours apply to all Evansville Goodwill retail locations. However, the Evansville Goodwill Outlet, located at 500 South Green River Road, will continue operating from 9 am to 7 pm daily, with hours staying the same seven days a week.

Why Expanded Hours Benefit Resellers And Weekend Shoppers

For anyone who loves secondhand fashion, DIY furniture flips, sustainability, or simply the thrill of the thrift hunt, the expanded hours mean more flexibility and more time to explore the racks. Whether you thrift for fun, for budget-friendly style, or as part of a resale side hustle, these changes make it even easier to shop local and shop secondhand.

If you have not been thrifting in a while, consider this your sign to grab a cart, bring your patience, and enjoy the treasure hunt. You never know what you might find on your next visit to an Evansville Goodwill.

Indiana Goodwill Stores Will Not Accept These 24 Items

So much of what we accumulate, we don't really use. Some of the stuff that is cluttering up our closets, basements, spare bedrooms, and garages is in good condition and can easily be used by someone else. 

Other items that have simply worn out or broken need to be cleaned out or replaced, too. But, Goodwill is not the place for those items.

Here is what Goodwill says about items that they can't and won't take.
