Comment: If you are one of those people who loves cheap items such as clothes, household items and equipment, like me, then you will like this thrift store. It is a great location to find good items at a low price. Also, another good thing about this thrift store is that they constantly take out new items from the back to the floor.Another great thing about this location is that they have different sales on top of the cheaper prices that are already given. They would have different colors of tags and it would be 50% off the actual price. Isnt that great? Also, they are on point when it comes to events where they would have sales on specific items! At the register, after ringing your purchase and after paying, they will attach a flyer which will have the necessary information for their next sale. You will definitely find some items that you want in here!And let me just do a quick shoutout to one of me, and my moms, favorite employee here: the nice elder lady that would greet the customers and would yell and inform shoppers about their current deal of the day. She always makes me and my mom smile whenever we know that she is working the day were shopping.

Comment: I have been going here since i was a kid and i have always thought the prices were reasonable unlike goodwill & its always well organized. The manager is very sweet and has been there as long as i can remember. I love this salvation army . Sometimes “big ticket items” seem a bit much but I understand sometimes

Comment: This branch of the Salvation Army is particularly well organized and spaces out. Easy to browse around, lots of great items, so many I had to choose and leave some behind.Staff are very good, truly more courteous than you might find in new goods retail. Definitely do stop by here, youll be glad you visited.Parking is also easy and dedicated to this store, so youll be able to haul those bagfuls of great buys without trouble to the car.

Comment: The best thrift store to find useful stuff at the right low prices.Dec 2019 is Wednesdays 1/2 of of every clothing item in the store.Ample parking lot, lots of furniture and household items and gently used clothes to choose from, there is a section that has clothes with the tag still on if that’s your preference at a very low price.There is also a drop off donation center.

Comment: What can I Say but, THIS PLACE HAS BEEN MY OWN PRIVATE GOLD MINE! The Employees are Fabulous tempered and, EXTREMELY Helpful, and Always can be counted on, tho great you with a Friendly Hello, if not busy!🤗 In everyone of my visits there, Ive been Extremely Fortunate enough, to find pretty much, exactly what I was after! One of the Best things on top of all the Kind Service, is that, should you find items that, simply will not fit in your vehicle, Chuck, with CR Hauling(who happened to be there 2 times I needed something hauled), is not only Super Friendly but, Super Inexspensive on top of that which, in this Day and Age, is getting harder and harder to find! So, in this Clients Opinion, You Simply Cannot Go Wrong Here! 😉👬👍👌

Comment: I always find something good, more than Im looking for and at better prices than Goodwill! The staff is pretty busy usually but they are friendly and helpful. It is a bit unorganized and messy but if your up for the challenge then you can find great deals on good things.
