Comment: They have a really dope variety of womens clothing and shoes. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the many different cool tank tops and athletic leggings which is my go to outfit almost daily at some point. Its cool that they organize the clothes entirely by color but this is also a bit frustrating when trying to find the right size. Another thing i found a bit overwhelmed by was the way the employees kinda just shut the lights off mid browse when its closer to closing time. I mean, 15 minutes left until closing and i should be able to comfortably utilize at the very least a solid 10 before i get corralled into a mishmash of a line. But none of that is really a big deal. Just a heads up for the rest of the shoppers to be. Otherwise my experience here was positively satisfying

Comment: I would have to say this is a very nice place. And the staff is awesome. I go probably 1 time a week depending on my need for puppy blankets.Big, organized, decently clean! No smell like I have read in previous reviews. I mean cmon we are in Oakland and downtown. So ya maybe some homeless population around or inside. Whatever... Really. Thats what salvation army is right. A place to re-home clothes etc At bargain prices!
