Reviews of Deseret Industries Thrift Store & Donation Center

Don

We had so much fun at the Murray Deseret Industries Thrift Store and Distribution Center we thought we would stop at a second one on our way home. Same neat and clean well taken care of store. This store is not as big, even though it is pretty big. Once again all the employees we talked to were super nice. Often thrift stores find it a major challenge to keep their store neat and clean. Deseret puts the time in to do it. I really appreciate that.

Melissa Crane

One of the busiest DIs in Utah, so be prepared to look for things or adjust your time to get the best available items. The store was fairly clean and there is a wide variety of selections. Overall very impressed with the staff who were willing to help me find items. One of the staff members, I believe his name is David, was super kind and went above and beyond to help me. I could also see him helping the other associates and encouraging them. Super cool to see a system working in motion.

I went on a Friday evening so it was a little crowded. They have a good selection and it's organized well (especially for being so busy). Employees are friendly and always around if you have a question. However one of the cashiers (an older man who appeared Asian, his name might have been David) got in a loud verbal confrontation with two customers and was being ridiculous and super loud overall. Another employee was super nice though. I bought a book but forgot it when I walked out to my car, and William walked out in the parking lot to try to find me to give the book back. He went out of his way and I was grateful!

Carlos Francisco Rivera

Convenient location. Appropriate measures taken by staff to ensure public safety during Covid situation. Staff are friendly. The place is organized and clean for the most part. There were no pots for plants!! My son always loves the toys. We will be back.

Coach Abe sensei

Wow!...There was actually a line of people waiting for the store to open. To my amazement it's because the quality of the material sold are so good and the Staff is quite wonderful indeed 👍 you'd be very surprised of how much great things you can get for a very small price. I am so thankful for this organization and the Church they represent 🙏

Richard Stowell

I don't usually come to location, so I don't know If the crowds are typical. It was a Saturday morning, and kind of a mad house. They might have a lot of product coming through, if so word has caught on if because lots of folks seemed to be waiting for caseload of new deliveries.

B S

This location is a little tucked away compared to others. It seemed a little less busy as well. Fair prices on their products. Similar to other Deseret Industries.

Gloria Wcislo

I love this place❤️they not only have great prices, merchandise and customer service, they also provide training, job opportunity and clothing to people in need on our community. Donate here, shop here😃 grateful 🙌 …

Andrea Gutman

I found the prices to be low relative to what I am used to in Colorado. The store is clean and well organized. My cashier David was exceedingly kind. Most importantly, I overheard a beautiful conversation between a manager (I assume) and a young woman with special needs. Apparently she had lost her DI bucks. The manager was reassuring, kind, and respectful toward her.

Rachel Luu

I really enjoyed shopping here. You can always find something that you like. good price and good service!!

Grace Scheele

Just in case anyone needs to know the donation dock hours, they're 11-4 except for Saturday they're 10-5. Just drove there thinking it would be open since the store portion is open, and I was wrong. Hope this helps others.

Rob Johnson

What I bought was a fair price . Would shop here again. This location was Circuit city electronics in the past I loved Circuit city . I think the church owns D. I. I love the church. Let's keep the worker's employed by shopping here.

Crystal Kayl

John was so helpful and friendly! We found so many cute shirts and dresses for family events coming up. Blake was a lot of help as well. We will definitely be back to this location for more great finds!!

Amy Bowman

Been shopping thrift forever. The store is well organized and easily maneuvered; which is a feat unto itself with department style thrift. There is a lot for sale-That said there just wasn’t a whole lot here as far as quality. The few quality items were out of season, or locked up, and everything is priced fairly but again it was a whole lot of meh/below average items. Lots of toys that aren’t complete or usable, lots of cheaper electronics/electrical, plyboard type shelving that has seen better days, lots of well used frypans you get the idea. I also kinda feel like anything is put out regardless of condition, found lots of shirts with holes, dirty/filmy things and peeling plastic purses, well worn name brands that might have some Life left. Friendly/efficient staff and well kept/clean carts, fitting rooms-clean store in general. This store probably is best shopped daily to find gems or quality items. Ample parking/carts.

Thomas Murdock

I'm a big thrift shopper. Apparrel ,China, etc. always has a great selection. And it's well rotated. I go weekly and always fine something new and exciting. As far as the clothing goes typically 90% has very low wear to none. Pricing from $3-10. Typically $5. I drive past several other thrift shops to go to this one. Customer service is wonderful and accommodating. Only down side is donation center needing appointments at this time (pandemic related, understandable)

Eve Inman

Great place! We loved the clothes and the books they had available. The cashier and store manager were also super nice and helpful while we were checking out 🙏🙌 …

InRee Bedford

It's my favorite location cause I only have to take one bus. Since Covid, we can't try clothes on. I try to be helpful and put pants back. None of your employees seem annoyed if I just give them back in a pile. They do it with a smile and to me, that's the most important thing.

Philip Cook

Angie the cashier was super nice and helpful. 'Tall Mike' was helping someone and was super compassionate with them and their situation, and treated all with respect and dignity. Good prices, lots of good finds and fun stuff!

Kaleb Breegle

My girlfriend and I are big thirty shoppers and this is definitely the place to go. We highly recommend coming here. They have a huge amount of clothes from kids to adults plus many other things. Absolutely love this place!!

Destiny Joestar

Went here today! For some furniture and the employee was helpful for me and my case manager!!!! Definitely recommend going here

Mark Ramey

I love shopping at the Sugarhouse Deseret Industries. It is always an adventure. I always find some fun things at great prices. My wife has decorated our house with things she found there for a few dollars. I always find a book or two to buy. The employees are always friendly and helpful.

Becky Goodrich

Deseret Industries on 2100 South and 800 East is THE store to come to when you want the higher class clothing items. The Savers also on 3300 South and 3300 East also has the really expensive clothing items as well. This is because they are both in affluent neighborhoods. They are aware that they have name brand clothing and price them a little bit above what you find at other DIs so expect to pay a couple bucks more per item than you usually do. But it is still mighty worth it! They keep this DI very organized, which cannot be said of every DI that I visit. I appreciate the time it takes to organize a thrift store because there are so many who shop at a thrift store who do not leave it as they found it. Any manager who can get their people to do that continually is doing an excellent job with their staff!

cliz305

Great price. They now toss some of the junk CDs, so they have better selection now (the price rises from 50 cents to a dollar though). Most items are cheap. Sometimes some items are a lot more expensive than the others, but they are not necessarily better. So it can be a bit random. They also don't have many selections of clothes for men.

Heidi Siegel

UPDATE: I changed it from 1 star to 5 because I went in and discussed the below complaint with the manager, Bryan, who then made things right. He apologized profusely for the behavior of the lady and said that never should have happened. I just called to see about a possible furniture trade or donation for our school's faculty room and the woman who answered the phone was so rude. I asked to speak with a manager because she did not get what I was saying. Her response: "Sorry we are not interested." Then hung up!!!! How rude! I called her back and told her she did not need to be rude. Our school, our families, and friends have supported this location by donating and purchasing props and such from there for performances and plays. Way to show the love back DI!!! If she had just said something along the lines of, "Our managers are busy now. I am not sure if we can do something like that." OR "maybe we can do tax exempt" or anything other than being rude and hanging up....I would probably had just gone down, donated our teachers old couches and bought nicer ones. What a great rep for the DI! WOW!!! I WILL NOT BE GOING TO THIS LOCATION AGAIN AND WILL MAKE SURE OUR PARENTS, STUDENTS, AND FACULTY ARE AWARE AS WELL!!!!!

boardgurlie

Great thrift store but they really need to do something about the people who have made it a job to snag items for resale. Mobs of people surround carts as they come out with new items. People lounge on the furniture waiting for new items. They stay there all day. It’s pretty bad.

Sinsemillia Reed

I’ve been shopping the sugarhouse DI for 20 years. When my son was little he would always ask to go to “pink and blue” (because that’s what the colors look like to him). Thanks for always being there for a gal!

Donald Ashmore (Donny)

Prices were very cheap. The volunteers working there found a mask for me because I didn't have one. If you need wifi routers and other cords for computers I suggest going Deseret industries.

pyper family

The Sugarhouse Deseret Industries location was such a blessing to our family. We had been turned away at another D.I. location and were considering our options, as we did not want to dispose of the items at the landfill. We made some adjustments to our load and tried again at the Sugarhouse D.I. We were very relieved that they would at least take half of our load (they ended up taking the full truck load!). All of the workers helping to unload our very large donation (26 foot moving truck) on a busy Saturday were so very helpful and kind. We had been through a difficult battle with probate and cleaning out our mother's house. Thank you for your great work and service!!!

Duncan Nelson

Very well managed DI with reasonable prices, one of my favorite places to thrift!

S MB

This place is huge, reasonably priced and well organized. The staff is super friendly. The only drawback is it seemed a bit busy for mid morning on a Wednesday. I guess that's what happens when you find a decent place to shop.

Tracy Muhlestein

Always like going to desert industries they have a good selection of stuff that people have donated and you can usually find what you're looking for and when you do it's a really good price so I recommend do all your shopping there for odds and hands great place to go and it helps the church

Jakob Harris

We usually have great experiences at this location but today the guy taking donations was really rude. He was running around and yelling at everyone donating. You would think if you’re making a donation instead of just throwing stuff away they could at least be kind to you.

Michael Christensen

A Recent trip was a surprising reward all in its own. A businesses true assets are its Employees, highest commodity by far. Was reminded of this when my personal, brand new $150 Longboard was stolen out of my shopping cart when I turned to get a drink from the fountain. A "Couch Rat" my new term for the group we all know and can't stand who inhabit every DI in the valley (i now know why they get a bad rap) had been following me throughout the store waiting for a specific, deliberate and precise time to slither into my basket and onto my property. It was noticed in the wrong hands by an alert and self aware associate named Sonja who works the men's clothing Dept. Recognizing it as not being the mans property while he was at the registers attempting to solicit a price from another unsuspecting associate. she proceeded and approached the thief, catching him red handed, took initiative and seized the stolen property walking it to her managers office to be held until I could be found. I am so grateful for people like Sonja of the Sugar House location, many of the DI locations are severely and discreetly understaffed. The rate of pay is obscene in today's economic turmoil ($7.25) certainly not worth bothering to act as not only an associate but their security as well? She never expected a reward or asked, never implied she deserved anything extra. Just an honest caring individual willing to make a stand against Dishonest often aggressive customers who use non-profit organizations for their own personal profit. DI management has a responsibility to step up and take care of aggressive shopping tactics and outright theft. Associates and customers should never be victimized like they are. Hmm.... DI Management paid decent livable salaries V.S. DI Associates 7.25 hr with a cap on hours @ 28 a week. Who should be handling security? I know! Let's pay obscene amounts to off duty LDS police officers to work overtime while sitting around and allowing dangerous shopping conditions to run rampant and people like myself be (almost) victimized. Fire those overweight, overpaid, overinflated officers. I'll take my min. wage heros anyday! Next store devotional should be devoted to Sonja.

Cody Eldridge

I love this DI! We decorated our entire home practically from here. Found a bunch of other cool things for camping and so much more. DI rocks!

Don Fletcher

Very good DI. They never cease to amaze me with the quality and quantity of what they have. Lot of stuff in the as is (TV's, Computers, Stereos etc) department. Always a lot of activity there. Lots of books of all kinds, VHS tapes and small stuff like kitchen and so on. Clothing selection is pretty good (I'm a fat old man, so that's what I look for). Only negatives are pretty much for all DI's. I always say that I'm a 3X guy in a XL world. If you are looking for large shirts, it's a real hassle. They stop sorting them at XL, so I have to look through a bunch of XL's to find the one or two 3X's. How about another size marker-over XL? Also the cables are usually in one great big ball. Be good to sort them at least. Overall, I'm very pleased and would recommend this store to anyone.

Bryce Thorup

This particular DI has a good selection of electronics and software (what I am usually looking for). And generally speaking, I appreciate that the layout of the DI's are nearly 100% consistent. It makes it easy to know where to find what you are wanting to look through.

Leo Ria

David the manager you are the best....thank you, for you help

Nat Carson

Deseret Industries is far more than just a thrift store of pre-owned clothing and home goods. They take on employees who are largely unemployable due to a variety of reasons, and they train and help those employees to get the skills necessary to get employment elsewhere. So be kind to the employees. For some of them this is the best they can do. Greatest Find: Austrian lead-crystal hand-cut platter for $1.00 USD.

alexia Moreno

I love going here it's way cheaper than forever 21but sometimes the prices on clothes are crazy expensive here that the only bad thing the tire to sell it like if it was brand new but I always find amazing things here would recommend

Eneida Valentin

You find good men Suits ladies dresses , for all ocasions; lots of things you may need ..preown...some new.; at very low prices. I found men suits at $ 20.00 . A REAL Bargain.

Amber Orvin

Well I worked here and I work very hard to make it look the way it is and we've gotten lots of compliments from many people that come and even work at malls or somewhere else and they always come back, because of how clean and organized it is!!!!

Ryan Schmudlach

As thrift stores go, no complaints. Way better than Goodwill if you're looking for outdoor related clothing (actual tech clothes or even just promotional t-shirts).

David Ng

It's a thrift store, all manner of stuff and people, mostly polite folks. Staff was super helpful, go early to get the best stuff.

Balkan

Nicest thrift shop I've been to. Giant, huge inventory, clean, organized, unusually low prices and plenty of parking. Great location too.

Henni Sundlin

This location is great compared to the downtown location. I’ve found some dope stuff! Prices vary but generally pretty consistent. I’ve been given random discounts once I’m at the register a couple of times.

Gloria Vallieres

Purchased two women's clothing items at a reasonable price and a leather baseball glove. Excellent, friendly service by John, a manager.

Derek Damien Darcy

Ok selection of used items. Prices seem to be hit or miss. Some are under priced some are over priced as compared to other second hand stores as well as eBay pricing. The customer there can sometimes be inconsiderate.

Jose Gava

Eric Johnson

Pretty decent as far as thrift shops go. It seems like I expect to find more interesting items in the men's clothing section and am usually dissapointed.

Alejo Alonso

Erin Ijames

I really enjoy thrifting and this store is one of the best! Top notch management and workers who really care about the customer.

Spenser Villwock

Good selection, slightly high prices, and crazy layout--clothes not consolidated into logical locations, re:all mens pants with all mens pants--spread out in multiple locations, making it difficult for shopper to browse.

(Translation) Very interesting project of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They have industries of macaroni, cheese, furniture, mattresses, etc. They also receive donations of various items and make them available to the population in need. There are also other humanitarian projects. Worth knowing. (Original) Projeto bastante interessante da igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias.
