Great selection of clothes, books, holiday stuff, and a friendly staff, I only wish it were closer to me, so I could visit more often. The prices are ok, not super cheap, that's why I'm giving 4 stars. They even have a loyalty program where they give u a stamp when you spend over $20.

Absolutely killer purchase at Salvation Army today. Entire shop was 50% off for Columbus Day! I got a Liz Claiborne dress, two Ann Taylor petite dress pants/skirts and a brand new Banana Republic shirt and silk tank top. And I found a fancy dish from France that sells in Ebay for $20, a nice soup bowl and a sea glass owl ornament.

Me and my girlfriend went in to look around the store, we were amazed by how completely rude the staff was, we first wanted to look at the games(which you need to ask to see) and we finally got someone to take them from behind the counter he slamed them in front of us and walked away! We later wanted to look at the wii console behind the counter and when we asked the 4 employees they ignored us for approximately 15 minutes and when we were helped they were just as rude as the first time. The older gentleman at the front counter was the rudest of all. He was scanning objects to put away but he literally had no line and we stood for over 15 minutes waiting to get the Wii and another 10 on line (we were the only people waiting!). He kept looking at us and not helping us as if we were just gonna put our items down and go away. I understand there are things to do besides helping customers but the customer should come first always and we shouldnt be made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome by staff. Absolutely ridiculous.

Donations accepted until 5pm. It's the store that's open until later. Woops I didn't know - guy was literally shutting donations door 10 minutes to 6pm, but he let me leave the clothes/items donation. I'll give 5 stars for letting me drop off after hours - saved me another trip.

Hi Mike, I've donated both *clean* towels and sheets at this location in the past. If the service guys tell you they won't use it in the store, there is a dumpster in the parking lot to throw items away in the garbage. Hope this helps!

They sometimes have half off of certain items on occasion, but they have a reward card you get stamped at every visit to earn a special discount that you can use after you earn it.
