The Salvation Army Thrift Store & Donation Center in other cities:
The prices are too high! The premise of the store is to sell items that were donated at reasonable prices to help families with limited incomes. I have donated items to the Salvation Army stores and found them to be twice as high in price than I was selling them at my garage sales. Please take this review a a possible wake-up call to those pricing these items.
This store has a huge selection, youd need an entire day to go through everything. Prices seems to be much higher than at any other SA stores, but affordable on half off day Wednesday). I would love it if they had better quality control, I understand that this is a cheap non-profit, but cmon, who would want a stained old tee shirt that is not even good for rags or a sweater that is extremely pilled and shrunken? Racks are often overflowing with stuff which makes it hard to browse. Also... THE STAPLE thing really need to stop. Very often when they staple price tag it ruins the item, it might be fine for thick knits, jeans, even woven cotton, but it completely ruins lightweight tee shirt type knits or silk, I cant tell you how many items I did not buy because of that.
Whomever was running the store the evening of 5/4/2017 is quite the douche. We walked in and he walked towards us in the middle of the store and announced sir were closing - I thought to myself its 8 OClock already? I looked at the time and it said 7:48 - I said its only 7:48 weve got 12 minutes and he said well I have to close right at 8 cause he (?) has to catch a bus - dont know who he is and not my problem.... We had plenty of time to look around and still get out by 8. WE WILL NEVER SHOP AT SALVATION ARMY AGAIN - PLENTY OF OTHER THRIFT STORES IN THE AREA.

2022-03-04Great rotating selection of mens clothes, shoes, and absolute seas full of womens clothes. Sometimes I hide in them for a brief respite from the thrifting fatigue.The staff are accommodating, and understand the plight of an art student trying to be the best dressed in the class. Its hard.

2020-12-11A pretty large thrift store. Great prices and fast service / checkout. Huge selections of clothes for each type of clothing. Theres a large variety of clothing and items are well organized. This store has shoes too! If you go at certain times throughout the week there will be items marked for discount, you can end up with a pretty low costing checkout!

2020-07-11Excellent selection and prices. Played Christian music over the speakers, which was actually very peaceful. *I was able to sticky nose and or mouth out to breathe as not many people shopping. (*Limited to 34 shoppers with face coverings to get in. FYI) Shopped in peace. No one bugged me. Fitting rooms open, restroom was not for your safety or this place would have got 5 stars. Handicap parking and accessible parking and entryway. Service was excellent. Highly recommend going on Wednesday. Most everything is more than 50% off or more all day and evening. (Pro tip.)

2020-01-24I have complained so. many. times at this store about how every time I come in the plus size section is blocked by racks of clothes to be put away. It never changes. That sends a message to your plus size customers. And so does the rude employee who was there today. I come to this store less and less; I should just stop completely.

2017-11-06Clean, well-organized, friendly staff. I always frequent thrift stores due to my budget, and after checking a few out in Rochester, this store gets all my business. A friendly community with its own regulars. Fun to see the staff and customers on a first name basis.

2019-12-04Extremely rude employees, my significant other and I walked in at 742 pm and the guy behind the register failed to greet us with anything polite, instead he said “we are closing soon” and we replied with okay, knowing they didn’t close until 8pm. And he said it again a second time as we proceeded to enter. We spent a good 3 or 4 minutes looking for a blouse and trousers when another one of the employees walked into the back room and turned off all of the lights but 2 sets. So now we feel rushed and decide to leave. This is not how a business should operate. If employees are being paid to be there until 8pm or later they should be doing their job until that time. Not shooing people away.

2017-06-13Ive been fortunate to find Corningware kitchen items, nearly new and unblemished scarves, quality blouses, jackets and shirts, handbags and accessories-all at affordable prices. The pricing at this store is better than Goodwill or Savers. This store has daily specials, and Wednesdays they offer 50% off on 4 different color coded apparel tagged items. Im a fan.
