Comment: Very big store with ample in store space to move around. Have seen lots of stuffs other than cloths too. Very affordable price with lots of options. Right in the Poway main road. Parking might be an issue when store is busy, the outside parking can accomodate ~40 cars only. But worth a visit!

Comment: So many cool things, great brands, great deals, and awesome staff. Jessica really stood out with her peppy friendliness and I had a really fun time bargain hunting. They had to kick me out at closing. I am still thinking about that bowl of faux apples and if I should have bought them... haha. Ill definitely go back there for clothing, shoes, and home related things. They also had a bunch of other things like bikes, furniture, and quality randomness.

Comment: So busy, no parking was available. Really busy in store. Hours were extended to closing at 8 pm, though Google Maps said 6 pm. I didnt realize they were having a Sales. All clothing was reduced to $1.99. Recording thus on Friday 7/30/2021.

Comment: Cmon man, its the Salvation Army. For what it is (and what it is is a donation based resale store), its really not that bad. I go here occasionally to find good deals on slightly used shirts. Sometimes I drop off things that I no longer use. It helps people, and thats a good thing.

Comment: If youre interested in saving money the Salvation Army is a good place to shop. I found 2 blouses from Banana Republic & Macys. I know because the price tags were still on them. You think its icky to wear something that some one else had. Do you know when you buy from Macys that item hadnt just been returned after someone wore it to a party? I also purchased a brand new George Forman still in a sealed box for $6.99. Im giving to someone for Christmas. Dont be proud give it a try.

Comment: The best overall thrift store in all of poway. It always has an abundance of clothes across their chains of stores and their have a great selection of kitchenware as well. As i am a fan of their electronics department i wish they sorted the items a little more efficiently and priced them a little better as well. Great place for anyone going thrift shopping.

Comment: Great selection in items but Id wash whatever you buy no matter what I bought 3 types of Tupperware all had dust/dirt build up inside of them which I understand for a second head shop but was still kinda gross and the only down side is there parking lot is relatively small for how big of a store it is

Comment: I find my experience shopping there fulfilling. There is always something unique. There are fabulous coats, blazers, dresses and more that will want you to come back for the thrill of the hunt. The store is clean and organized. Also, remember to go through your closets and donate to Salvation Army.#1 important thing is that draws me to this specific location is the family environment. Bridgette has proven excellent customer service delivers with a smile every time I see her. The staff is always helpful and works very hard. Ive been shopping here for over 5 years and have become part of their family.

Comment: This place is hit or miss as with any thrift shop. Over the past year Ive walked away without anything a few times but mostly I I have found some great deals on old clocks, musical instruments, and even a few valuable Antiques which sold for over 500% of my cost. I would recommend this place for anyone who dabbles in antiques.Dont forget to stop at the 5-6 thrift shops a cross the street and west around a quarter mile.
