About The Salvation Army Thrift Store
The Salvation Army Thrift Store is a part of the national charitable organization, offering a wide variety of pre-loved secondhand goods, including clothing, accessories, housewares, home decor, footwear, electronics, and more. Customers can shop for affordable options for every person and every style, or they can drop off gently used clothing and household goods to receive a 20% off coupon for their next purchase. By donating and shopping at the store, customers contribute to supporting local Salvation Army programs and services, as well as environmental sustainability. The store is described as the embodiment of what a thrift store should be, with a vaguely organized layout that adds to the "treasure hunt" experience for thrifters. Despite its chaotic appearance, the store remains relatively clean and well-lit, with ample shelving and merchandise. While the store lacks fitting rooms for clothing, it offers a diverse selection, from clothing and accessories to housewares and decorative items. The staff is noted as very friendly and helpful, although some customers have found the prices to be a bit steep. However, the store is praised for its ability to offer rare gems, such as a vintage raccoon fur coat in amazing condition, as well as great deals on craft supplies like embroidery hoops and knitting needles. Customers are advised to be aware of the store's pricing policies, as some items may be marked up, while others can be found at regular prices, especially if the item's fiber content is not easily identifiable. Overall, the Salvation Army Thrift Store provides an engaging and rewarding thrifting experience, with a diverse selection of pre-loved goods and a commitment to supporting local community programs and environmental sustainability.

Very nice staff and happy to help, prices abit steep but some rare gems here and some items that are simply amazing- like the vintage raccoon fur for 50 bucks that I found that was in amazing condition ….a lot of ppl who shop here still wearing masks and seemed to have ‘drank the koolaid’ which is typically not my crowd but worth a visit to this shop nonetheless.
