What can you say about second hand most don’t already know. I like Salvation Army for there mission to help others. This particular location you see the evidence right there with there men’s rehabilitation center on-site. They closed one other close location so this is the nearest place to my home. It’s not always a hit but when I do find something unique it makes my day. They revamped the place taking away there “luxury boutique “ which to be honest needed to be removed there we’re some items worthy of that category but for the most part not. Always friendly people working, organized, parking sometimes sucks but you can find a space. I’ll always continue to shop there.

This was my third visit to this store. Most prices are very good if you compare to the local goodwill stores, especially clothes and most housewares. I found 2 pieces of pottery for 1.99 each. Similar pieces at Goodwill would be 5 or 6 dollars. A beautiful lamp with shade for $8 & new work out pants for 3.99. I think they are a Kohls brand. Some funky retro pieces can be found. They also have items priced way too high. The basket storage/foot rest pictured is $19.99! Its damaged & worn and you can get something new up the street at Marshalls for the same or less. Dirty, outdated furniture is also way overpriced. The store is clean and staff are friendly.

This is a fantastic store. The selection and prices are great and inventory is updated frequently. Most importantly the staff are very welcoming and nice. For example, Jason in the donation center helped me today with some questions and donations I had, and was very kind and helpful. It makes me feel good to visit this store. Definitely worth a visit!

This place was terrible, lady at register didnt know what she was doing, the guy that served my drink was so annoyed/bored, they didnt make my drink right and the bathroom was gross with no toilet paper.

For the past two months I have been slowly cleaning out my place by bringing usable items here. When the furniture pieces werent in sellable condition for them, theyd tell me so. Otherwise they let people self-serve and place items into the bins. There must have been a recent change in policy. When I arrived today, the only staff member was opening up bags in one clothing/linen bin and looking into the contents. When I approached, he followed me and asked what I brought. I answered housewares and proceeded to look for the bins labelled as such. He asked what exactly, I said cushions. He said we dont take cushions. I said also fabric cubes. He paused to make a determination. I got a mix bag of stuff and didnt want to go through an item by item inspection so I left. Thank God he wasnt here last week, I dropped off dozens of books and one of them was not PG-13. 😅

Dont believe in their statement. Their workers that help in the back end sorting clothes are being overworked and expect to do certain criteria but they don’t get paid per piece but per hour. It’s legit a sweat shop. Management is discriminatory and favorable with certain people. Management is fishy and don’t abide by their mission statement. They also get work for free from people that are incarcerated. Very fishy place.
