It's still lacking something but it is an improvement from before I am sure they know that ....that's why their sales is not booming yet but I hope they figure it out soon not much changed the same people that running this place do not have any idea what it takes to run a business to top it off they're getting everything for free and also they realy eed to clean the floors and the nasty carpet wow I will not go there again...note the cashier was very nice and helpful I give them that she is an older lady but very sweet anyway nothing personal I just like to tell what I see

Always A friendly staff, Nice location & organized. They just need to run a air purifier continuously, as items being sold still have a strong storage smell through out the store.

I am a disabled veteran with tramatic brain injury. I have shopped in here for 50 years. They have lots of nice things in here. I spoke to a very pleasant young lady on the phone yesterday. Thank you for helping me with my special needs.

While I am not fan of the way the Salvation Army spends the money this store is one of the only true thrift stores left in Escondido. Most skim their stock for good stuff and either staff takes it to resell or the store does resells online. Here, good deals just end up on shelves. It's lower volume than Valley Parkway's Valley Thrift Store so the resellers are not as thick here, usually. Which again means better stuff for lower prices. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. I enjoy visiting this store and found many cool things there.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

If you have a lot, I would call first especially if you have furniture. I used to work there and we asked people to make an appointment for furniture because if they don't want it, they have to dispose of it

During the quarantine they received so many donations, so bring items in by 2:00 because many locations limit the amount of bags/boxes per household each day. Most are open until 4:00.
