We only donated here but the women in the back were super friendly and nice! Just asked us a few questions on what certain things were that we were donating and how to assemble. Can’t say about inside the store just yet, but donating was easy and the people working there were great.
Very organized location. Walked in and was shocked by the racks of clothes all organized by color. Not sure if I really care for organization by color but it just shows how much work they are willing to put into organization. Was hoping for a larger section for home goods and home items.
Great place to find pieces for costumes. Organized by color and not by size. Size was difficult to determine on some things. This trip I was looking for two specific colors, so it worked to have it organized that way. Generally size matters more than color. They also had housewares and books.
I really just wish the clothes were separated by size and not color. I always end up walking the outer circle of the store and leave. The racks are stuffed with clothes because of how it is organized, its been like that for years. But otherwise, they have great clean stuffed animals, at the cheapest prices on earth. And a good book, and record selection typically.
They have a 50% off sale every Wednesday on 4 predetermined colors for clothing, shoes and books. I try to take advantage because that seems to be able to get you a lot of $2 - $4 items. Get double the amount of clothes for the same amount of money. The normal non-sale prices are alright, but I dont ever find it worth it when you can just wait until Wednesday to get what you want. Clean area, lines go by pretty quickly, and tons of clothes to choose from. If youre not looking for clothes then theres not a whole lot of other options.
Im a frequenter of Salvo Thrift stores (and thrift stores in general) and this one is pretty much the same as all the other Salvation Armies. I actually really like the color sorting rather than by size; in my experience, thrift stores dont have enough staff to combat the constant mixing up of clothes that happens during the day and sizes can be difficult to find on some items for employees who have to work quickly while colors are easy to separate. One negative thing I did notice here was that several items I spotted that caught my eye were stained or incredibly worn and shouldnt have been put on the floor in my opinion. I did however find a few great bargains, so overall, not bad.
I tried to get a job there and they lost my Application twice then I told them I really want to work but Ive been a stay home mom for many years so I didnt have much experience . So I went again and they Intreview me because I kept seeing help wanted now there saying I dont have experience and thats not right so I will call the main office and let them know ! I a very good worker and I should of got ting a chance !!!!!!
Mondays and Tuesdays: 1/2 Off every item in the Store of that weeks Color TagWednesday is Family Day: Half off of All Clothes, Shoes, Books, and Accessories of 4 Colors except the newest Color which is being introduced into the Sales FloorThursday-Saturday: Half off of Clothing, Shoes, and Accessories of that Weeks Color Tag.Sunday: Closed to allow families and employees to attend ChurchKeep in mind, Pricing is done on a strict tier system. Depending on Condition, Label, and quantities. Also, As a Christian based organization, all proceeds go to save lives at the Adult Rehabilitation Center in Syracuse. By spending that dollar or two more on an item some feel is overpriced, and others consider a treasure will help a human gain traction in life. The money isnt going to buy Yachts for Billionaires in Bentonville, Arkansas, but to return productive and valued neighbors to your community. So, when you purchase that designer label for 5 bucks instead of more than 10 times that, consider your doing charitable giving and count your blessings you or a family member isnt in need of the Biblical work being performed tirelessly by dedicated professionals trying to feed their own families and make a real difference in the places they call home.

2022-05-07Even though my mom didn’t like it there, I still had a good time there. There wasn’t much in the women’s clothes section. If only I had the money to buy a few things there, I wouldn’t have left there empty handed.

2021-11-19I was impressed. Well organized, clean,nice staff,great variety of clothes at very reasonable pricing. A little light on kitchen appliances but that is based upon donations not a reflection of the store.Nice experience overall.

2021-09-30Love this place most items are under $10 and that includes name brand stuff. The staff is always super friendly. They also always have a half off option. Each day they have 1 color half off and on Wednesdays they have all but 1 color haf off. Its a great deal on already cheap items.

2021-05-08This is a great place for deals on Wednesday, when they have 50% sale! I find the prices on clothes pretty pricey for a salvation army. The store is very clean, the staff is very friendly!

2019-12-23The best thrift store in Watertown. Large store. Very nice stuff no matter what you want. Good prices normally but almost all clothes are half price on Wednesdays. Bring your own bags starting in January.
