Reviews of The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center

Kacey Durliat

Very big and yet still well organized. Nice jewelry section upon entering, and I thought most of the prices were fair. There were lots of nice unbranded pieces, so maybe not best for resellers? They had lots of nice furniture in the back, but as a temporary visitor, I couldn't bring any home. Tons of clothes, I could've spent all day if I had the time. Pictured is what I left with. Great genre sorted book section. Some lady did run over my foot with a cart l, but that's not on them ya know... was fairly busy for a Monday, but again holiday season?

I was here for the first time with my mom, my sister, and a couple of her friends. Everything was good the organization of the clothes, sizing, and easy access to the fitting rooms. When we were checking out I had bought something for one of my sisters friends and took the receipt and went outside. I got called by my mom to come back in where the cashier was saying the kid I was here with (a 12 year old) was stealing. Once I gave her the receipt and she realized that I was the one who had just bought it 5 minutes ago she gave both me and the kid a nasty look. She didn’t even apologize when she caused a whole scene and had people staring at us. Everything else was great except for this moment.

Amanda Prentice

Favorite thrift for quality of goods. Prices are too high though. Literally saw one of those ancient fake leather camera carrying cases that is nothing more than cardboard lined in plastic -- price tag was $39. Then again, snagged some Cole Haan loafers for $30. So....worth scoping it

Joshua Hernandez

Great items, clothes is all lightly used and clean. Lots of great jewelry prices as well. Very impressive. Thank you all for a great experience!!

Sonia-Rose Lyle

This store is huge. I could be in this store all day..lol. Great deals here. got a C.C Beanie here for $4, which is a good deal compared to buying it anywhere else. Definitely reccommend this thrift store to individuals who want to save money on clothes, mugs, et cetera and support the homeless community all at once.

Paul Palos

DVDeeeeezz nutz....... ha ha just kidding, I'm not an untoward man. But seriously, their dvd collection is HUGE. Found some dope ones at a very competitive price. Also they have cloths and shoes. Surprised? Why? All thrift stores do crazy pants! Now head over there and get yourself some bargains :) Edit: Prices on ties are high

Robert Stearns

They have a great selection of stuff! The store is very clean and well organized and it appears that the garments have been washed. The prices are much higher than they should be at a thrift store though. For example here is a hot stone massage kit- they are asking $6.97 for but it has no book no guide and is just the stones. You could pick up the stones on the street for free.

Cynthia Chovanec

Its a very nice store,very clean and organized!! Its like a dept store only cooler, if you cant find somthing here...than idk...😊😊😍 …

Carrie Noll

Clean, well organized, items in great condition. No sifting through junky items to find the good stuff. It's all good. Staff is constantly restocking. V very reasonable prices. My favorite thrift store!

Amanda Contreras

I used to like the book selection a lot before, now there is a "buyer" who scans all the books to set aside the good ones, so there is no selection anymore. Also, there is a guy in the jewelry shop and he's not nice, in this section the prices there were absurd on the Vynil records, and some other items, you can get them cheaper online and in much better condition. Everybody else was nice, the greeter is very kind and also the cashiers.

Carol Casual

Clothes are on the cheaper end! But some furniture can be a little cheaper like clothes. Overall it is a pleasant experience. You get lost looking at the great prices and the store is much more organized than some other thrift shops I know! Clean store and great atmosphere. Everything is spaced out as it should be. Great job Salvation army. I see people donating stuff all the time! If you have $10-$20 to spare, come over here and grab your self some cheap end stuff!

Allison Holmes

This used to be my favorite store! However, things have gone SIGNIFICANTLY downhill. Let’s talk about books: There’s been a woman there “stocking” the books lately, but she literally just puts them where they fit, with zero regard to the sections. It’s a complete mess and you can’t find ANYTHING you’re looking for. Now prices: on MOST things, they’re fairly reasonable. On art and electronics, they’re outrageously overpriced, as well as on many clothing items. If you’re looking for wall art, go to TJMax. You’ll pay less. But PLEASE for the love of God, hire someone who knows the difference between an autobiography and a cookbook and clean up those books! (I bet you’d sell a lot more too)

Sarah

A favorite. I always find high quality items here, plus it's one of my favorite places to hunt for books (in general, paperbacks are $1.95 and hardcovers are $2.95). The staff are always so nice, too!

Q U

I loved this place, it's clean and very organized, unlike the other thrift stores !! And on Saturday I found great bargains for 69 cents. In addition to that , this store has fitting room .

Anna Chun

Great price especially on Saturday however line is long.

John Welsh

As far as Salvation Army Thrift Stores go, this one is tied for #1 with the one on Union St. Word of advice: GET THERE WITHIN AN HOUR OF OPENING . All the best stuff is still out because by the end of day the shelves are virtually barren. I've found so many perfectly working electronics, designer clothes, out of print books and more for next to nothing. The staff works hard, the clothes are hung nicely and they do an awesome job with getting you through the "last call" impossibly long check out line.

Grant Viola

This location is very large, and definitely stands out with the variety of options. The parking lot is huge, and it’s in a great location. The reason I am giving four stars is due to the high prices. This is one of the most expensively priced thrift shops I have seen in a while. You will definitely find great deals, but for more expensive than your average Salvation Army.

Michael Carlin

Great store, not expensive and staff are super nice

Sasha Espino

Went here 2 times, once before covid, second time just last week. Good place to shop, large variety and neatly placed. Found what I needed each time. Friendly staff Just wished they could reinforce the 6ft distancing more when customers are at the checkout line. Customer behind me was damn near, he was practically hugging me, had to shoo him back off twice as the staff watched my frustration.

pranjal vivek

Very big store of the used products. Lots of varities.

Q. Esther Leach

Favorite place to shop for bargains on name brand clothing. They also have movies, books, home decor, electronics, dishes, glassware, rugs, mattresses, furniture, shoes, kids section, mens section and of course women's. The color of the week is always 50% off during the week, 75% off on Friday and if it's apparel on Saturday it'll be sixty nine cents! Everything else with the color of the week will be 75% off on Saturday. You're welcome!

Ralph Braseth

This is not your father's or mother's Salvation Army store. Of course it's used stuff, but much of it upscale compared to what it used to be. The people who work in the store have been specifically trained for it and that is a difference for sure. Unlike Salvation Army stores in the past, this place is well lighted, clean and the aisles and merchandise are orderly. Things are where they should be. Unfortunately, clothing, or at least men's clothing is not separated by size. You can find a pair of 36" waist jeans and not see another pair that size until you look through another 36. Suit jackets are particularly hard, the sizes are mixed up and are not even indicated on the price tags. That means trying to find the size inside the jacket which often isn't there or is hard to find. However, once you do find a jack or pair of pants, I've been impressed with the quality. And on top of everything, the money generated by the shop goes to great causes which makes it my kind of second hand store. I also noticed that owners of "vintage" and "already used" shops scour the place. P.S. you can almost always find a treasure in the jewelry glass cases up front so spend some time looking there.

Laura Lespinasse

Good place to go to, based on my experience, for clothes, wall art and jewelry. Not many home goods or toys when I went but that could have been because of the day(it's all random with thrift stores really). Will shop again!

Amanda Koerner

This is my favorite thrift store. Prices on housewares, toys, etc can be iffy. Sometimes I've seen better prices at Target! Clothing prices are fantastic and there are some good finds if you shop for them. Watch out though, the last two times I've gone I've been overcharged at the register. The first time I didn't notice until I was driving home and thinking about what everything was supposed to cost, by then it was to late to fix. The same thing happened to me yesterday and I was able to get it fixed before leaving the store.

Evelyn Vidal

Great stuff lots of furniture, pretty organized

Rhonda Robinett

This is my favorite thrift store. To find good stuff you have to be willing to spend the time. I would advise to always look over clothing very well- especially the armpits and cuffs,... and crotch if you are buying pants.I have found great things here, that were deals. This store often carries salvaged products from Target- which they seem to price sometimes as if they were Target, be wary of how much they would cost brand new. Update: the prices have gotten sky high in this location. I wish they organized things by size for the prices they charge. You can still get a great deal but things are much pricier than they used to be. They refer to it as "upscale resale".

Chelsea Kertland

The best salvation army I have ever been to! It is clean and organized and there is a ton of selection! I especially love the kids book selection. Like-new hardcover kids books for $ 0.69 - $1.99!!! It's awesome! Also, take advantage of the 50% off sales and $0.69 Saturdays! In addition, some people have commented on the staff. I found the staff to be quite friendly!

Valery Levitt

They have a ton of great items with so many good brands and selection. The only thing is, some of their items are way too expensive for a thrift store. If their aim is serving the underprivileged, I'm not sure that they always hit the mark. You can definitely find some great deals, but you need to work hard to find them and there are some things you have to completely skip ($15 for a poster of Space Jam....).

Chelsey S

This Salvation Army has undergone some big improvements in the last year and a half. From a grimy two-story, to a much cleaner but small temporary shop, to their new forever home. Their new store is spacious, well-lit and evening has dressing rooms! Pretty decent clothing options for the individual who is up for and enjoys the hunt.

Alexis

This Salvation Army has a pretty good variety of items of course you have to be patient and look through everything. There shoes aren't arranged by size so that makes it a little difficult and time consuming. Also they have discount on certain colors every week 25%off and 50% off and after 6 on Fridays it turns to 75% off and Saturday morning 69© a woman was kind enough to tell me.

Thongsy Singvongsa

This place is open 6 days a week from Mon-Sat but donations are accepted all 7 days a week. I try to come here during the weekdays only because on weekends, it gets very busy. I have shopped and donated here. Both processes were easy and simple. When donating, they will give you a tax form so keep that for when filing your taxes. Obviously all sales are final. I have gotten lucky many times and have purchased many new and unused items from here. Target is a huge contributor to this Salvation Army so you can easily find unused Target products. They also accept credit cards which is a plus.

D Pham

I love this Salvation Army. It's the only thrift store I know of that has dressing rooms, which is helpful for the no returns policy. The prices are definitely on the high-end in terms of thrift stores, but I've often found many items with original tags on it. If you come here, expect a crowd, which is unfortunate because the aisles are so narrow. But if you take your time, you will leave with treasures!

Lisa Redmond

Always a good selection, depending on what you're looking for. This is a very large store, be sure to wear comfy shoes and expect to bw here a while looking around. The employees are great. Everyone is very helpful, and always smiling. Plus they play great music.

Laeeqa Mulla

This place is huge. You will find clothing for everyone, futniture, books, music, dvds, stuffed animals, wedding dresses, prom dresses, you name it! And they have crazy sales on already discounted items. The only problem I have with this store is that it is not organized well. The books are randomly placed, the clothes and shoes are not separated by size. It can get tedious trying to find something that actually fits you. Also, you have to check and extra baggage you bring along with you at the door. You can keep your purse or wallet, just extra bags are not allowed.

Christine Lawhorn

Edit on 09/01/2019 When I wrote my Comments/Concerns (below), I was writing about my personal experience with the Salem, Oregon store on Lancaster Drive. That is the only Salvation Army Store I have ever shopped. {Truth be told, I've never even been to Chicago, but I DO BELIEVE it's There! (My explanation of how I can "Believe" something that I can not prove.). :-) } My only complaint would be that if something is not marked with the price, you can not get it. Period! The prices are set somewhere in the Portland, OR area. The staff at the store are no longer permitted to assign the price, so you found a big nothing. In the past, they would give the item a price. HOWEVER - my experience was that regardless of any possible indicators of Tag Color or price, they would give a much higher price than I had anticipated.

iza bella

I've been to many salvation army stores and this is one of the cleanest/organized stores I've been to! I do think the over price a lot of what they have. For example they have a wide selection of women heels but most of them are $30+! I think that is a little much for used heels that aren't even a name brand.

Jennifer Rodriguez

I have been here multiple times yet I don't hardly ever come out with many items since this place is overpriced. Store is mostly good for jewerly, furniture, kitchenware and any other miscellaneous things. Yet don't get me wrong they do have good brand name clothes here. Plus parking is big and spacious.

Tina G

This place is a great place. Sometimes things are a little too pricy for a thrift store. I do like visiting but don't really seam to find what I'm looking for. They have great hours and was even open on Columbus Day. That is great for shoppers. On certain days they run specials on ticketed items

Ana Castillo

Clean and well stocked, however more pricy than other salvation army stores.

Ogul

Friendly staff. Great selection of gently used clothes. Way more organized than other thrift stores I've been to. Also if you go late in the day or the weekends, there is extra tag discounts.

Maritza Rivera

I would like to share that I now will shop at any Salvation Army, for year's I avoided shopping at any resale shop due to the dust and fear of bed bugs and lack of disorganization, but now I see being a Chicago native how much they have grown as a company AND I love the manager Daryl Hall, he is the reason why I started shopping at the Salvation Army. He encouraged me to check them out, his professional conduct and integrity about his job is impeccable,his positive and serious attitude about aiming to please the consumer goes beyond word's. He is a very discipline manager and the employees under is watch are well trained and also aim to please the consumer. Thank you Mr. Daryl Hall! I genuinely wish you all the best success with The Salvation Army core! Your an asset to the management team!!! Thanks for keeping me out of debt as well. Shopping with you all has made a huge difference in my finances and now I am back track!!!! May God bless you always!!!!

Marta Z

It used to be One of my favorite place to go. Not so much anymore. Note for management. Please change the volume of music, its too loud. And I am not sure if you haven't notice but its a thrift store.Please be advised that its a Salvation Army store... meaning that you overprice items way too much. Some items are close to matching price in regular merchandise store.

Heather Nicole

For a discount store, this place is amazing! Super huge, and every week there are sales on certain colors (every item had a colored tag). Cloths, books, household items, they have it all. Definitely a must when shopping on a budget!

Roger U

The people who work there are very curtious. The pricing on many of the moderate items are too high, about 70 percent of original value, some items of greater value are removed and recoded a different color before they become part of the 69 cent sale which is less than honest because they promote " sometimes we don't get it right Saturdays".all that being said they provide a great service so shop their.

Greg Francis Brown

Thank you, Salvation Army, for doing so much for all of us in the neighborhood. Everyone should go to the store and pick up wonderful bargains on everything. The store is ultra clean and very well organized, you will have a wonderful time shopping there.

Jeremy Riel

This is my favorite Salvation Army store in the Chicago area. It's large and the selection rotates regularly. Great book and movie selection, and a ton of clothes. Worth checking in regularly for the color tag discount of the week!

Ben Ohnas

I have been to dozens of Salvation Army stores all around the country, and this one is my favorite. I can get lost in here for hours. Furniture is expensive so you're better off going on Craigslist, but the prices on everything else are fair. Huge selection, we'll lit and clean. The only other SA store that rivals it is the Lytton Springs compound in Northern California. I usually keep it to myself when I find a gem like this but I couldn't resist writing a review. So tell your friends at your own risk, we don't want to blow up the spot ;)

J. A.

The staff members I've met so far are really polite and friendly. My major complaint is the price. Often time these used items are only couple of bucks cheaper than brand new ones.

Edward Utterback

The place is very clean, employees are intent on helping the customers even without being asked!!! Immense selection of very nice clothes at great savings!!!

John Ralyea

0ne of the largest thrift shops in Chicago, if not the largest. In a newly renovated facilities, it is also the best organized resale store on a large scale: you will find here, at bargain prices, clothing for the whole family, boots and shoes, books, toys, furniture, household goods, CD's and DVD's, artwork, musical instruments, electronics, tools ... Parking is free in a large lot. Quality goods. You won't go away empty-handed.

Eddie Moreno

The BEST second hand store in chicago. Designer items throughout store. Lots of great books. Furniture actually better quality than ikea. Only 1 drawback professional. Retailers shopping and hoarding many of designer clothing and reselling it at their stores for 5x original price. You cant miss them they will have cart filled to top.

Jordan Boulger

One of the nicer thrift stores in the area. It was recently renovated and cleaned up, so it's very well organized. Lots of furniture, clothes, shoes, and housewares. Plenty of parking and a drop off center too.

Carol Casual

Nice variety of things! Great prices. It is more organized than some other thrift stores I know.

Ma Jackson

A very helpful staff. This is a large and well organized store. The Employees are very helpful. Good finds, but some items were way overpriced for a thrift store.

Amanda S.

I really wish they would organize clothes by size rather than color. Otherwise, it's clean and huge and offers name brands at very affordable prices. Bargain hunter paradise.

Joanna V

I like this location a lot. They have pretty clothes. I just wish prices wouldn't be that high.

Jessica Spruit

Great prices, a decent selection, I like how nicely things are arranged, not just tossed in bins, and they even highlight vintage products. Furniture prices are good as well as everything's prices in general.

Jacqueline A

I absolutely love making stops at this location. Great options in home goods, clothes and shoes. The only downfall is sometimes prices our missing in the home goods... sometimes can be so disappointing

Ting F. Chui

I only look at electronics, video games, and books. Video games and books are responsibly priced. The electronics are overpriced, even a DVI cable is about 9 bucks. I recommend coming here to check for anything hard to find, but most likely it will be expensive and not worth it.

Daniel Navarro

I seriously love this pace. There is ALL kinds of stuff here and you can pick up literally anything. Like I wish I would have frequented this place while I was in school, cheap school supplies. Full set of *old* golf clubs? Not a problem. Lamps? Computer accessories? Cables for electronics? Check, check, check.

Joe Smart

This location has some of the highest quality stuff you are likely to find at any Salvation Army store in Chicago but the prices are very high compared with other thrift stores. You aren't very likely to find any bargains here but you might find something nice if you don't mind paying a premium price for used items.

Dina Santos

Cleaner than other locations. Organized. It has a boutique where some items are of better quality than most, but are also tagged up. Overall, they have a good selection of items.

Marie Duwal

Clean and everyone nice. Have 4 star because a lot of stuff was really over priced for second hand. For instance those tall lights with plastic coverings...12-18 when ive gotten those at walmart for 10

LeTroy Cooke (TheThriftanista)

Great store. The new location is very bright and clean with dressing rooms. The merchandise is "upscale resale" which means the prices are higher but still a bargain for new or nearly new merchandise.

Daniel F

I'm leaving this review more so for commentary. I can't believe all you people who give this place 2 or 1 star reviews when in fact that this is a Salvation Army thrift store. Are you really going to expect great service at a thrift store? Hahaha!

Christine Pascual

it's clean but some things were over priced. 50 for a coat?! 40 for shoes?

Gabriela Alves

Went there for the first time yesterday, and i have to say i was impressed. The store is super clean and organized, the staff is very helpful and nice and the manager helped me find what i was looking for personally! Great place :)

Jennifer Rivera

Normally, this my go to thrift store for furniture. I went in looking for specially a small desk with lots of storage. Didn't find what I looking for. Plus prices were a little high. Maybe next time.

Micah Lapping-Carr

This is a large, well-organized store. Good prices on a lot of stuff. We got a toy chest, painted and in very good condition, for $27!

Charlie Veguilla

Great store, great staff, always busy, very clean store good selection not at all times either but better in selection yes

Mama J

Some prices a bit high, hopefully money made goes to goof cause Sometimes frustrating they won't sell itemsw/ o ticket. Love the manager there can't rememberher name right now, she's been there 29 years

Rey Colón

Jumbo thrift store with parking and alots of treasures. Easy donation drop off for a great organization. Therapeutic and worth visiting.

CDR Cdr

Great place to shop.***COLOR tags. Every week a different color. The color is on a sign on the entrance. It means 1/2 off mdse. On Saturday clothes (only) with that tag is $.69.

Judy Guerrido

I love this thrift store i have found amazing things there. yes it's messy but if you take your time and look you can find good stuff my number one thrift store for sure.... love it.

Emily Schexnayder

Nice, clean, and big. Reasonable prices usually. I just wish the clothes were organized by size

Jeane Lawder

This place sucks it really does.... Prices are 2 high security is obvious and they follow u around....items I can get at walgreens brand new for 20 they have Em used for 25 come on no sense at all... complain to BBB and local community leader also send letter to alderman they ripping people off and those who know no better are just been ripped off hopefully I can get enough signatures to shut this place down and get it reopen with a good set of management that knows what they doing

Scott Stewart

Pretty good thrift store and some of the staff is really helpful, while others seem to be just there for a paycheck. The best deals come when their sticker colors come up on the weekends.

Dennis Kelly

I always find an item or two that I can use.

Kathryn Cervantes

store is closed on Sunday but donation drop off is still open. Easiest location to donate goods in the city and has really nice in store set up.

Brian McAuliffe

Huge location with seemingly limitless selection in constant rotation. The complex also boasts a headquarters office if you are looking for more than the Army's retail services.

Will

This location is excellent. The store is large, clean, well organized, and has a large selection. Plenty of parking on site too.

Al Varble

The best part about this facility, aside from the goods offered, is the friendly and personable staff who work the floor. The store is very clean and organized.

J

This store provides a good service for people who need it, but I didn't find anything I was interested in while I was there. I probably wouldn't go back, but that shouldn't stop anyone for visiting or donating to help others.

Arturo Salinas

Great friendly atmosphere during store Hours No long waiting. In / Out always Mildly. satisfied And saying "I'm glad I Stopped".

Ralph Miller

Salvation Army Family store has good prices, quality clothing, a lot of good kitchen items, a good book section, jewelry section, and has lots of items being donated daily.

DeMaster Thomas

Very clean and organized and helpful

janette ortiz

Love the store and all it's employees everyone is always friendly great customer service. ESPECIALLY Karen.

David Sager

One of the biggest Salvation army stores I have ever seen. Fairly inexpensive, but it's in a good area to pick up some nifty things.

Daniel Winne

Nice place. Huge selection. Prices were higher than I expected, but not unreasonably so.

Emily D.

The folks at the donation center could not be more friendly or helpful! They also have little iPad setups for easy emailed receipts - so fast and easy!

Carlos Navarro

GREAT VENUE ! Be meticulous , take your time and most of all be Patient ! You will find some Gems ! Now , get your A _ _ over there and " shop till you drop " !

Carla Hoover

Great selection of items

The Kat G.

Love this store. Clean organize spacious. You can find a lot of nice clothes and artwork

Annette Jones

Best place for low cost clothes and things needed around the house. Need a dress for that party on Saturday pick-up it for little or nothing.

Rob Grzymala

It's amazing how much store you can fill with free stuff. Donations are really easy. Just pull up, grab a form and go.

Gregg Wms

They have the same stuff on the shelves for over 2wks. I think they are trying to get rid of older inventory. I'm staying away until after Christmas.

Rhonda Treadwell

Designer bags at awesome price Excellent customer service Store extremely organized Very large selection to choose from.

Joanna Buksa

One of my favorite salvation armies.. sometimes a bit overpriced but overall a great selection of clothes and other random items.

John Henley

Just about all of the clothes are new and name brand. Same with the shoes. Decent looking furniture,too.

Zulheimi M Cardenas-Ruiz

I love it!!! Is my first time I went there. :D I love the skirts & the dresses I almost fill up my cart lol

Brandon Petesch

This salvation army has some of the best, lightly used, clothes in the city and they have $0.69 deals every Saturday.

Vita Harris

This is one of the best thrift stores in the city. The clothes are usually in great condition and the specials are great.

Yesenia Martinez

Would rate 5 but they have the stupidest no drink policy when half their clothes is dirty. Other than that ok prices

Em Ridyard

My favorite thrift store in chicago. You wouldnt know its even a thrift store as its displayed wonderfully. Excellent selection of....everything!

Abubaker Surya

One place for all you have, recommend all to shop at salvation army store for you can have your required domistic, items,and many more things to select.

J Pitts

Dropped off some donations and it was fast and easy. Very well organized to keep a steady flow of people coming and going quickly.

Linda Cameron

Occasional you'll find good deals. A lot of things are over priced. Some of it should be in the trash (holes, torn).

Jordan Skole

This is a great Sal. It has a wide selection and is clean and well organized. The donation-accepting volunteers are friendly.

Charity Zabaleta

This is a great place however I personally feel like prices are increasing since originally shopping here. I'm disappointed.

Janetta Young

Whatever style you want they have it the workers there are really serious about there job if you say hi they will give you a hard and stare and say thankyou for supporting the salvation army 😆 …

Tammy Winter

Wanted $30 for a simple black second hand skirt. What?! Great record collection.

David Aitchison

The selection is good, interesting, and varied, but the conditions and prices are uneven: some items over priced, others unusually cheap, some looked after, others battered to bits.

zenaida torres

Great place to purchase your reused clothing Furniture toys shoes jewelry mi bien nice customer service

Mike Tumilty

Clean and well organized. Clearer discount strategies would have earned them a fourth star.

Ahmar Wolf

The reason I like to goto thirft stores is looking for something that you might need

Chanel Henderson

They have better selection of clothing here. Something always catches my eye

Amor Amor

I have found great items at this location. Very clean place.

Jerry

Prices here are a little high for second hand donations. They also stopped accepting returns, so I guess I'll donate the clothes I got to goodwill...

Clayton Mullins

As with all second hand stores, you do have to search for the gold, but when you find it, it's great!

Ivan Ruiz

I have had always a good experience at this location,courteous, and friendly. Store is clean.

Andrew Knight

Very efficient for dropping off donations. Can sometimes find a few gems in the store too

Erin Motyl

they over price everything but overall more organized than most salvation armies

Anand Jadhav

Good place to purchase dress with less money.

Brissma Hernandez

Overpriced store 34.99 for and old and worn jacket is a thrift store !!! I will no longer donate to the Salvation Army :-(

Be Happy

Awesome items, great prices, friendly staff, outstanding service!

Evon Barrera

I don’t like the way the racks are slanted. It’s awkward enough to maneuver when this place is always busy.

Steve Wall

There is a decent selection but prices have gone up by 50 to 100% the difficulty is that old bargain finds are pulled for on-line sales and leaving items that are often actually often less expensive at Walmart or Target -- so be careful and consider other options such as Brown Elephant, Village Discount or even Ragstock. 💁‍♂️ …
