Goody Goody Liquor

I usually go to Specs just because it’s on the corner of Beltline Road & Inwood Road, which is convenient. I decided to venture half a block further down Addison’s «liquor row.»
We used to frequent the Goody-Goody’s in Uptown a couple of years ago and I remember that everyone there was always really friendly. Well, I’m glad that I came because they did not lead us astray. The nice gentleman (unfortunately I didn’t catch his name) came over to assist me in the beer section. I didn’t see a price on the Modelo so he looked it up. He told me it was cheaper at Walmart and offered to match that price. Call me simple but that just made my day! I’m a simple girl one that just makes my day! After I paid, he just grabbed my bags after carried them out to my without even asking. He told me to have a great night, opened my car door and went on his way. Customer service goes along way with me — this will definitely be my new go-​to spot in town!

I’ve been going here for over a year now! The customer service is amazing!!! Mike is probably my favorite!!! Great prices and great selections!!!

To be very honest, I wasn’t looking to come here. I was actually ignoring the sign and trying to cut through the parking lot/​private road that my GPS told me was the fastest route to my destination as I drove by Goody Goody.
Seeing as it was a couple of days before Christmas, and a colleague had done me some really really solid favors in the prior few weeks, I saw this as a sign. Promptly turning around and parking in front of Goody Goody, the outside didn’t impress, but I figured they’d have a Jack Daniels which I could tastefully wrap. Oh my — what a surprise. Excellent selection, and a walk down the whiskey aisle could lead to some real fun problems if this place were local to me.
All in all, I made out like an absolute champ. There was one bottle of Jack Daniels Holiday Select left on the shelf, and my colleague was absolutely floored, having never seen one before. Thank you, Goody Goody. You made someone’s Christmas fantastic.
P. S. I will be cutting through that parking lot again, but will promise to stop in each time to buy something.

What a selection! The staff will help you find anything you’re looking for, and they more than likely have it. I even found a white whiskey a local well-​know chain told me they have to special order! Couldn’t have made my visit better, or me happier. Thanks guys.

I wish restaurants had as good of customer service as this place. Everyone here is always so friendly and really embrace their fellow brothers and sisters who enjoy drinking by offering great suggestions. Been coming here for a while now and they always have what I need at a great price. Plus their reward system is pretty nice. I like it when one of my vice’s has a point system that rewards my behavior. Thanks Goody Goody! My parents are so proud of me! :D

I called the store with a special request and without question they were able to help me out. It isn’t often that an out-​of-​towner is able to make this type of connection with a retailer. I harken back to the days when I ran errands with my mom and the shop keepers knew her name. Jeff, the manager was just that type of person. He knows how to make a connection with his customers and turns a transaction into a relationship. I would highly recommend Goody Goody and the Addison store!

Goodness Goody Goody, there are too many remedies you offer!
When I first started coming here I would always miss the turn in because Goody’s is all the way in the back of the plaza and this street has liquor stores galore. There is a sign right by Inwood but it’s easy to miss when driving by. Basically it’s in the lot where Queen of Sheba’s and the Italian Club are in.
The entire left side of the shop is dedicated to wine and someone is always there to help you out. In fact, everyone there actively greets you and asks if they can help you find something. I’m far from a wine connoisseur but they do carry my dinky bottle of Michele Chiarlo Nivole. The bottles of sake are right by the dessert wines fyi in the corner.
The immediate back left side is all of the beer, from sad PBR to Midas Touch. The rest of right side is all my stuff, spirits galore! My medicine of choice is either vodka or gin and there is an entire aisle dedicated to vodka. The gin is in the back right corner. Great selection of Absolut, with all kinds of flavors: Citron, Cilantro, Hibiskus, Orient Apple… etc. I’m on a mission to try a different bottle of vodka each time I go here.
Also, they have those jello shot cups here, you can find those in the back with the mixers. I had no idea where I could even get those things but they have them here!
They recently added a points program as well called Goody Goody Bottle Club where you can acquire points on marked items. Maybe I go here too much, maybe I don’t. I’m pretty sure the staff recognizes me each time, no shame!

GG is the best. Best prices, nicest staff. Knowledge without snobbery. I am a lazy shopper, so I don’t destination shop. But lookout GG, if Spec’s comes to Addison. The gloves will come off. ;-)

There has been much hype about some new offerings in town, but Goody Goody has an excellent selection of wines and a full compliment of liquors and beers. Their prices are competitive with a price-​match guaranty. It just isn’t worth it to me to drive to some warehouse store and try to save a few bucks. Sometimes you can, and sometimes GG is cheaper. My all-​time fav.

great selection of liquid courage and good prices. This place can be compared to Spec’s. Great prices for your needs when you go out. They usually have special packaged deals near the middle of the store so be sure to check those out.

Lots of selection, good prices, and helpful staff.

I buy one beverage for myself, Captain Morgan’s Private Stock. Of the few different liquor stores I have checked, this Goody Goody is a good few dollars cheaper. Lines are short during slow times, and they have a good number of registers for the busier times.

Goody Goody has the best prices of liquor store row! They may not have the prettiest décor, but their low prices make up for it. This will definitely be our «go to» store when we need to restock the liquor cabinet.

This place has been our Go-​To place for wines and spirits for as long as we’ve lived in the area. We enjoy the Saturday tastings on currently featured wines & spirits.
They have the best prices and selections we have found on domestic wines and others from Australia, Spain, South America, and New Zealand. We are frequently surprised to find serious bargains on French wines of notable quality. I canceled my subscription to Wine Spectator years ago, so I rely on Mrs. Bear’s wine ESP for selections (she has a better than 95% accuracy on her picks). When we are stuck on a decision between two or more labels, we can usually find a Goody employee to help us out.
Goody’s beer selections, although not numerous, are impressive for the brands they have, but lately the prices are bordering on «outrageous» — I really don’t understand what’s happened to beer prices lately! The good domestic microbrews are approaching the best imports in cost these days.
Goody’s also has a great selection of tequilas, including all my favorite premium varieties. We always find the best margarita supplies here. It can be a little daunting to find certain specialty items like some liqueurs, and selection of single malt Scotch is a challenge. Sometimes I can’t find the gin or rum I want. Aisles are narrow, and single-​lane passage only!
So except for narrow aisles and sometimes-​confusing layouts, this place is great for us fans of beer, wine and strong spirits.

Back in the days when the ‘burbs was our thing, my family made our home in Plano. Yep, the draw was above average schools, above average city services, and people who looked just like us: white folks, 32.7 years of age with 1.6 pets, 2.9 trees, 13.3 bushes and 2.4 children. Demographics have changed in this Dallas satellite, but one thing remains: its inhabitants must commute somewhere else to buy booze.
Important to note is the fact that there was one important difference between me and my other neighbors: while most of my white, child-​bearing neighbors commuted from Plano to Dallas for work, I worked in Plano and commuted to Dallas almost exclusively to buy booze. My neighbors were happy to simply stop by the store on the way home; however, I found this booze-​commute thing to be really unnerving. Still, I got pretty good at pricing commute costs in BPG (booze per gallon of gas), similar to the ways one might calculate the costs of driving X miles to purchase cheaper fuel. For example, I’d compare drive times between the Goody-​Goody in The Colony with GG– Addison. In The Colony I always loved driving past the infamous Artic Liquors — not «Arctic», mind you, but some kind of Artsy-​like booze place. Then there were the stores on Greenville but they were waaay too far away in BPG terms.
Now I live in a wet area in Dallas and don’t miss the booze commutes one bit. Instead, get this, I am the rum runner for my old man who lives in Plano and doesn’t drive much. (Sweet irony, I say!) GG-​Addison still stays on my short list for booze, but not for beer and wine. Why? Well, yes they have the best booze selection in town at great prices; however, they fell off my list for beer and wine for separate reasons. Domestic beers are cheapest and most convenient at the grocery. Exotic beers (we are major fans of Delirium Tremins, for example), must be shopped more like one finds truffles, I suppose.
I used to be a major fan of GG wines — both selection and prices, but I cooled in recent months. You see, our household is what Marketing people might call «heavy half users» of wine, consuming a couple hundred bottles per year. I found GG’s high-​volume wines to be fine but I was getting an enormous number of bad bottles of their high-​end wines. I got someone there to admit that they transfer their old stock from other stores to GG-​Addison, so I’m just sure I was getting bottles that were ancient and tortured. Then one day I saw my favorite Barossa Shiraz stacked high in the men’s rest room. Eeeewwww! I commented to the head wine guy but got one of those «I dunno» responses, so I walked.
GG-​Addison? Yeah, I’m a fan of their booze, but I’d encourage you to check their wines carefully.

Oh, Goody Goody, how you make my alcoholism more appealing an accessible! Not really — I kid, I kid. But, truthfully, being from small town Texas, I never imagined such a wide selection of alcoholic beverages could exist in one convenient location! A friend referred me here when I needed to stock my cabinets for an upcoming party. Needless to say, I left with way more than I intended… But none of it went to waste :)
For the most part, I spend my time in the liquor section because, well, I like my drinks like I like my men: cheap and stiff… Zing! The liquor section always amazes me because I wasn’t aware there were so many varieties of the various types of booze. I was not aware that you could find $ 8 vodka — not that I’d ever try it, but its good info to have! No matter what you’re trying to find, you’ll have more than a few brands to choose from. Also, this store always runs promotions and sales, so you can usually find your favorite liquor at something of a steal. Be sure to check this area out during the holidays for great gift sets for your token drinking buddy or even yourself if you need to add to your collection.
The wine selection is amazing and takes up the entire left wing of the store. Whether you’re looking for red, white, sparkling, champagne, or the stuff in a box, you’ll be set. I like to frequent the wine section because they often have good sales and have select bottles marked down. Also, some of the wines have the rating information right by the price tag, so you know what you’re getting up front with little to no guessing. There are even some wines & champagnes already in the freezer section, chilling off so your party doesn’t have to wait to begin. I love perusing this area, even if I’m not in the mood for wine.
The beer section is the smallest of the three, so far as I can tell. Some of it is refrigerated, some of its in plain ol’ cases stacked nearby. There is plenty of variety, but I noticed that you can get most of what they sell cheaper at nearby shops. I don’t mind paying a buck or so extra if I’m in a hurry, but this isn’t my first choice for beer buying.
The back wall is devoted mostly to mixers (various juices, mixes, etc.) and random items like cups and plates. Beware: this section appears to have the highest markup. I usually avoid this wall unless I’m in a bind and don’t have time to hit up a regular store. Still, the selection is impressive and I doubt you leave without something tasty to include in your beverage.
I also like that this store has a mandatory policy to card everyone who crosses the checkout line. Well, that & having my ID requested makes me feel like a girl of 21 again *giggle* I think I’ve only been once or twice where I wasn’t carded & that was probably because I knew the clerk by his first name. Not that I visit often or anything. Right… Leave the kiddos at home, people. This is adults only, no exceptions.
The staff is always friendly and the store is kept pretty clean. They don’t really change the layout much, so you can usually bee-​line for the items you need. Obviously, GG is, and will continue to be, my liquor store of choice. Party on, folks.

Goody Goody, you are so GOOD ! You never fail to exceed my expectations. Each time we have an encounter, my feelings just deepen. Of all my loves, you are the one completely devoid of any flaws. You are perfect !!
First, you are so welcoming and friendly when I pass through the door. You always offer to help, although I know exactly where to go in your sparkling, organized and well stocked store. I love your wide aisles; I never have the fear of knocking a bottle off the shelf passing by another one of your many fans.
OMG, your prices are incredible. Don’t know how you do it, but so glad you do. My two fave Pinot Noir’s, Concannon and Mirassou, are priced almost $ 3 less than your several neighbors on Inwood. And, my delicious red table wine, L’Epayrie’, is over $ 3 less. How could I ever entertain the idea of spending time with anyone else? I also enjoy your selection of liqueurs; you even gave me a recommendation for a «knock off» of a famous brand, which was a savings of almost $ 7. Oh, I must mention all the specials you have displayed throughout the aisles. I have experienced so many new wines as a result. You care about me, you really do !!!
Check out is a breeze; your folks at the register are so nice, friendly, and always, always take my packages to the car. Gee, you make me feel so special. You may always count on me coming back; I’m here for you !!
