It was really crowded and they had pretty good prices. That a lot of furniture, a lot of shoes or women, not that much for men. That a lot of good furniture and a lot of great shirts, short sleeve, long sleeve, jackets, all kind of stuff! I love the salvation army
I was impressed with the size and selection of the women's section. I was looking for vintage inspired clothing and found three pieces for good prices. I also found a large picture for our empty dinning room wall. This store was well organized and easy to find things. The staff were friendly and nice. I did use the changing room to try on clothes before buying, so happy they had those open. They have a rack where you can put clothes on that didn't fit beside the changing rooms. I definitely want to go back and see what other treasures I can find.
I absolutely love this store!!! There are so many nice good name brand clothes. However, with the way they staple the price tags on them, it sometimes causes holes in the clothes. Therefore, I am not able to wear them with holes. My suggestion is to get a tagging gun and place the price tags in a more inconspicuous place instead of the very front of the clothes around the collar. I spent a good amount of money in there yesterday, and some of the clothes I’ve had to toss bc the staples left holes. This is the only thing that I can say negative about this store. Everyone is super nice and the clothes are great. Just do better tagging prices.
Wildly overpriced to the point of absurdity. This is not thrifting—this is straight-up price gouging. I found multiple items, especially furniture, priced far above actual market value. One item that sells online for $60 was marked $199.99 in-store. Even with their 30% off “discount,” it was still outrageously overpriced. If you’re charging more than resale sites, you’ve completely missed the point of a thrift store. I’ll gladly take my money to other thrift shops that at least live in reality and price items according to what they’re actually worth ✌️
i don’t know if it’s me or what but every single time i’ve stopped by this store, it’s absolutely empty other than clothes. I’m not coming back again. I give it a shot every couple of months and this store has some serious inventory issues.
