Goodwill
Thrift storeGoodwill is a thrift store in Albany, CA. You’ll find it at 505 San Pablo Avenue, Albany, CA 94706. It’s one of 7 secondhand and resale shops we track in Albany.
The store keeps hours seven days a week, including Sunday, staying open as late as 9 PM on its longest days. Thrift hours change seasonally and around holidays, so a quick call before a long drive is worth it.
As a thrift store, its inventory is donated and priced for fast turnover: stock changes daily, sizes and styles are unpredictable, and the best finds go to shoppers who come back often rather than those who come once. Purchases and donations here support Goodwill’s charitable programs; our Goodwill guide covers its donation rules and discount days.

- Bring a tape measure and your key measurements — sizes vary wildly across eras and brands.
- Sunday hours are on file (11 AM – 6 PM), so it fits a weekend circuit.
