I like this thrift store as well as any I’ve ever seen. It almost always has a wonderful and extensive selection of fabulous clothes. It charges perhaps a wee bit too much for them in general(so does the Goodwill), but it more than makes up for this with frequent 50% off sales, occasional red bag sales, and a generous senior discount(15%). You can also find great knick-knacks and kitchenware, and they have a large and reasonably — priced selection of furniture. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this store.

I don’t usually bother to shop at Salvation Army stores because they tend to be overpriced, but we happened to be in the area and decided to give it a try. This must be one of the biggest thrift stores I’ve ever been to – at least by square footage. The building obviously used to be a grocery store, but it’s in really nice shape, with well-maintained wood-like floors and clean, freshly painted walls. The displays have clearly had a lot of love put into them, from the color-coordinated women’s purses and accessories to the carefully arranged bridal-themed display. And the clothing and housewares all seem to be in good condition, clean and with sets of items fastened together so they don’t wander off. In fact, it feels like they don’t quite have enough inventory to fill the store, so there’s a lot of empty floor space and sparsely filled shelves that could be put to better use. The downside of all that organizing and cleaning is that the prices are just too high. I’m talking $ 3 for two mason jars high(when they’re $ 0.50 at Goodwill). As big as the place was, I didn’t spend very long shopping, because it was clear right away that everything was overpriced. Their idea of «designer labels» is dubious(Fred Meyer??) and some of the fast-fashion tees and tanks cost as much here as you’d expect to pay brand-new at Kohls or Target. I had just about sworn the place off when I finally found something worth buying: a light H&M windbreaker-type jacket for $ 9 that probably would have been about $ 50 new. Now THAT is how you price items at a thrift store! If they had more like that, I’d make it a point to come here again. It’s really more like 3.5 stars. For better or for worse, this is more on the Value Village end of the thrifting spectrum: clean, organized, and overpriced. If you like your secondhand items curated and cleaned, this is the place for you, but if you prefer the thrill of the treasure hunt, skip this one.

This place is great! It’s clean and they always have new stuff. The store doesn’t have a thrift store smell to it. I’ve been coming here since they’ve opened several times a week finding great finds! I highly recommend coming here. The prices can be high in some cases, but really take a look at where that money goes. People forget to see the bigger picture and they always make it about themselves.

I’m a thrift store fan for some things — seasonal clothing, small appliances, and anything you need for kids. I’ve known this was here for a long time but always seemed busy running to Central Market and rushing home. Today I had a chance to browse around a bit. First thing I noticed — no «thrift store» smell. It makes for a more pleasant shopping experience. Second thing I noticed, pretty cool furniture(but I don’t need any right now). I saw a vintage end table that reminded me of one in my grandpa’s house. I think the children’s clothing could be organized better but overall, I thought the quality and prices were good. I spent most of my time in the women’s clothing section. I needed some shirts(hopefully tank tops due to the hot weather). I was lucky to catch the store having a 50% off everything sale. I found a bunch of shirts for me and a few items for my kiddo. Each shirt averaged $ 5.99 regular price which is much better than the $ 24.99 I would pay in the store. I spent just under $ 30 and all is right with the world.

Large thrift store, with a nice selection. If you wait until the last weekend of the month you can get 50% off the whole store. It’s not too crowded also, so no hour long waits for the dressing rooms. I have found something every time I’ve come, though not always what I was looking for!

What a bunch of greedy bastards. Prices on many items above new retail. These people need to put down the crack pipe and price there items in accordance with who they are supposed to be serving. Don’t donate here take your stuff up to desret industries

You walk in and immediately see the many furniture pieces they have. This is one of the better thrift stores. The furniture is nice and not something I’d dump on the side of the road. The men’s tie collection are very nice. I always try to find a nice tie to make hair bows out of. I also usually head to the back where the shoes are. This time I found a pair of very new Ralph Polo shoes similar to converse for only $ 14. Staff are helpful and always friendly.
