Comment: I am surprised by the amount of reviews on here complaining about customer service or inventory or not having their glass wrapped in newspaper, this is not Macys is a thrift store. I personally love this Salvation Army, the employees are friendly and helpful, especially Joey, but they are all good people. There is a great selection of clothing for both men and women. Electronics, shoes, and miscellaneous treasures. I have found some great buys at this location. The parking is good for at least 15 cars. Overall there is always something good here, I bought a couple of patio chairs brand new for 35.00 each, because I google them while at the store and they sold for $265.00 a pair elsewhere. By the way you can get a regular Tshirt here for $2.99 versus $5.99 for a used up Tshirt at Goodwill which is ridiculously overpriced.

Comment: Arrived at 5:45 to drop off my donations before closing (6pm today) and was told that donations stop an hour before the store closes.However, both the website and the sign in the store window say the donation hours are the same as the store hours.Needless to say this is very disappointing and frustrating considering I had planned my day around what the online information is. This is the closest donation center to me but is a 20 minute drive from my home so it isn’t easy or convenient for me to come just anytime.If donations do actually stop an hour before closing, that needs to be reflected on both the website and the store sign.There were several other people here at the same time as me with donations but turned away.The staff was friendly at least.

Comment: Awesome customer service! All the people that works in this store are just wonderful. They are very helpful. Though the prices are high for used items but thats not their fault. It came from the main Salvation Army warehouse who priced the items. But I really love coming here because of the customer service. They all deserved 5 stars!

Comment: Great selection, its the thrill of the find. Lots of great hidden treasures. Things are always on sale so you cant go by the sticker price just ask one of the friendly workers like Teresa. Shes great about making a fair deal. Also people rating on here complaining about the prices when they get it for free, yes they do but are you ignorant people aware of where the money goes that they make? It goes back into the community for services and help the needy and less fortunate. They are much better and nicer items then the GW here. I appreciate the workers and what they do. Thank you!
