My friends and I go here a lot to look for vintage clothing or just fun new things to add to our wardrobe. The employees are really helpful and don’t get annoyed when you ask for the items off a mannequin. It’s quite organized and easy to find, as well as pretty clean. It’s kinda annoying that dressing rooms are closed, but since it’s for health and covid reasons I’m not mad about it. Overall, I really enjoy the prices and environment of this thrift store and would recommend it!

Interesting to have the items organized by color. The store felt a little dirty and could use some new floors. Prices a bit high

Very friendly staff. They were a little short on mens clothes on my visit but Im pretty sure that was due to the holiday season.

It was too expensive for a Salvation Army store except for the items that were 50% off. The store was clean though and very nicely organized. Everyone was really friendly too.

I love shopping here but the manager would not honor the price as marked on a set of matching vases. She said an employee incorrectly priced the item and would not honor it. I dont see how thats the customers problem.

I love shopping here. I love how everything is sorted by size, then style, and color to the best that they can. Prices are good. The only thing reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because the half off colors I cant seem to find much of. So I end up paying full price most of the time, which is still cheaper than anywhere else!

The staff doesnt seem very interested in being there, or selling. They were more worried about leaving for the day, tried to make arrangements to get a product and they were not helpful at all.

Love the options and never nice in the store but the manger is very rude! I just asked a simple question if he could mark down the price a little and he said “do you see a sign where it says we do that” and I’m like no and he’s like “there is your awnser”

The dressing rooms are closed due to COVID (understandable). All sales are final, no returns due to COVID. If you buy, and the clothes dont fit, youre stuck with them. BAD POLICY.

Review №15

This store is very very over priced for the things they have in it. This stuff is donated, and I thought tu was for people who have a hard time making ends meet. I would never ever pay over 20.00$ for a tank top, and Im more baffled as to why they would mark an item that much. This would be a better store and prob bring in more people if they didnt mark their things so high.

I absolutely love this store, I definitely would recommend coming to this store. They have all the brands you love to wear and more. Its great because you can buy household items and they have such great deals.

Review №18

I loved this place! I used to go here at least once a week. But I have to say, the prices on clothing and shoes have gone up quite a bit in the last couple months. $7.99 for used jeans is a bit pricey. I found some new used shirts that they wanted $29.99 for. There was a pair of used shoes for $39.99, Im assuming because of the brand. The prices on other merchandise is still pretty reasonable and they do have 50% off color tag that changes weekly.

Huge store! With the exception of shoes ($5.99/pair, no matter what) the prices were good for a thrift shop. Again...HUGE store!

I used to love this store, it would take hours to go through the whole place. They had great deals, everything I bought was a dollar or two. I normally would walk out with many bags full for $20-$30... (Literally). But, I went today and was very displeased to see a lot less inventory, also the prices went wayyy up. Not a whole lot under $3. And only one color tag on sale! I was pretty sad. What happened to the good deals people? Wont be back for quite a while, unfortunately.😞

For a thrift store they are huge. Many things to checkout besides just clothes.

Review №27

A good place to buy clothes. The Salvation Army is a religious affiliation and they do play contemporary Christian music all day in the store, so those catchy songs can be annoying for those with a predisposition.Prices are fair with weekly discounts applied to random clothing (color coded tags). The location is enormous and has a huge selection of clothes, all organized by color and type of clothing. There are far more options for womens clothing than for mens, but theres still a rather large amount on both sides. Expect wear and tear on clothing and other goods. Their no-return policy also should inspire you to try on clothes before purchasing.Overall atmosphere isnt highly enjoyable but its what youd expect for a second-hand clothing store.My only major complaint is simply that cashiers are rarely pleasant to work with and dont communicate well, making the sometimes arduous task of clothes shopping that much less enjoyable.

This store has been remodeled and updated ... several nice dressing rooms, open restroom and improved lighting! Everyone who shops this store ... please do your part to keep it neat! The manager, assistant manager and staff are all so friendly and nice ... please show them the same. I always find great treasures at this store. Thank you Salvation Army for improving my treasure hunting! One note for consideration ... find a better way to afix the price tags to clothing ... the staples leave holes in knit fabrics!! Thank you.

I love going to the salvation army and Ive been going there for years the issue that I have with them and it seems like the last I dont know for 5 months prices have almost doubled and what theyre asking for some of the stuff that I seen in there I mean theres a pair of tennis shoes that was in there that were 39 99 I mean you know theyre slightly used shoes and yeah they were name brand but that is a donation store you know that and yet theyre asking premium prices for some of their stuff and not just the shoes Ive seen that with furniture and things like that its gotten really really ridiculous and its like I almost dont want to go there I might as well go to a regular retail store. Its a shame really it is

I love thrift shopping. Every time I leave this store I feel angry. The staff is so rude. Like on some kind of weird power trip. Most of the merchandise is crazy expensive and laughable. A lot of it is gross or broken. The store feels dirty and unwelcoming. I have said before Id never go back there. And in the last 3 years, Ive probably been there once, hoping maybe itd changed. The only thing that changed was the staff, which is a new bunch of power hungry jerks.

Review №37

Glad they added more fitting rooms and a restroom but the prices are absolutely ridiculous. Literally had a simple candle holder priced at 6.99, an old wobbly plant stand for 12.99, tops for 4.99 etc I could find similar items in the clearance section of local stores new for the same prices.
