Still no dressing rooms even though most other places have opened theirs. STOP blaming Covid for the fact that you don't really want to help folks in need! No dressing rooms and no returns??!!! Are you kidding me??!! People can't just blow money and gas buying the things SA gets for free and then not be able to return it because they couldn't see if it fits in the first place??!!! What kind of business are they trying run?!! Ripping people off and blaming something that other businesses have put behind them. Don't waste your time and money! Boycott them!

I've always loved this store but since the pandemic returns are not allowed anymore and we are not allowed to try on the clothing anymore. Both of these make it so hard to be able to purchase clothing anymore. Other thrift stores allow both and are getting my business now. I really wish Salvation Army would bring back us trying on clothes at least. All the regular clothing stores have dressing rooms available now. I just don't understand why this can't happen at Salvation Army since I'd like to shop here but can't anymore because of these 2 changes.

You never know what you'll find at Salvation Army, so every visit is an adventure. I didn't find anything I wanted to buy today, but I saw several interesting items: a copper fondue dish, several crock pots, a Rowenta iron. There were also some nice dining sets, paintings and artwork and other decor items. And, of course, clothes, lots of lots of clothes!!

What a clean store! I love this place. The store is well organized and very clean. They get a decent rotation of quality goods and I think the prices are fair. I've donated my items a few times, it's a little inconvenient BUT they seem like a small team so that's fine. I used to go to Goodwill but Salvation Army is a better organization in my opinion. Goodwill is more for-profit business while Salvation Army actually focuses on helping folks.
