Gee gee

They need someone else to tag .. 1) their prices are high. Lets look @ it in the way salvation army was built. For people who are looking for used things..@ a used price. Whelp salvation army is not that no more. Used shirts for kids $6.99 <~ u can get that price for a unused item. @ malls, Burlington, Walmart etc. 2) stop marking prices up due to designer or it being new. Seen a London fog (10+year old designer) coat. Even though its 10+yrs old with a tag now marked with the price of $89.99. They have brand new designer coats @ all types of stores for that price Now on a plus side. When the blue tags and sales as such 50% off certain tags are in play it makes it a fun sale.

This place is is great if you like massive thrift stores, but I usually find better deals and better quality at the Rochester store. Both have all the usual Salvation Army discounts on the usual days, including senior day on Wednesday. Ask about current percent discount; request discount before your order is rung up. This store seems to get fairly messy on Fridays and Saturdays, as if the staff has trouble keeping up. Usually tidy and well merchandised earlier in the day and on other weekdays. Like all Salvation Army stores, closed Sunday. This is a charitable organization, and all merchandise is donated. They do not purchase anything. Tax receipts available for your donation.

After going to all the other salvation army stores around here, this one is by far the most expensive. All clothing items are at least double what they are at the SCS or Clinton TWP store. I was shopping for baby sleepers and they were all twice the price that I had paid the few days prior at the other locations for identical items. Other random items like candle holders and such were also more expensive. I have had luck with the occasional gem, but not often. Not worth the 20 minute drive for me.

Clean store, used to be my favorite, they have lots of products. The prices now are off the wall. Very expensive now, I used to shop there very often but now I do not even want to go in. I refuse to pay retail for used things. A shame because stores like these were meant for low income families. I used to go gift shopping there and find home decor products for my own house. Now I seen things there that I can purchase cheaper at other stores. Very disappointed. :(

Whenever I visit this Salvation Army, it is always clean, the people are always friendly, and I always walk out with an armful of things I didnt know I needed! During the week, they have awesome rotating sales- so if you find an item thats a little out of your budget, keep an eye on it, and check back next week (they also have a calendar of the months sales at the door.) It is an incredibly large store with a diverse selection!

Super-high prices, like even more than in a retail store. They have to decide if they want to move/sell their free donated items or try to get rich off them. Worn out used shoes $30. Dirty coffee maker, used, $26. I saw many other items priced over Walmart. Garage sale price stickers still attached to thngs and they mark them up...really??? Other Salvation Army stores are better.

Over priced is a complete understatement I was so appalled by the poor quality of things and the outrageous prices and how rude the employees are never again will I go there NEVER!!!! Absolutely ridiculous hello people donate this stuff for FREE and they have prices on some items that dont even cost that much new in the store so much for Christianity smh horrible just horrible

Large store, fair resale prices with different color tag sales all week. Wednesday is senior day, anywhere from 25 to 37% off. Its a fun treasure hunt, even if you dont need anything. The best part about Salvation Army is that when you buy something here the money goes to a great cause. Rest assured this charity uses the money "for good" and nothing is wasted.

Always have great deals. Workers are polite and helpful. Very large selection of clothing, housewares, books, and childrens items. They did start this year 2017 (April I believe) with a "no tag, no sale" policy. Meaning: if the paper price tag is missing from an item, they cannot sell it to you. It has to be re-tagged and they will NOT do it at the register.

They dont even deserve a one this company on hall road thought it was cool to steal money from me causing a very balanced bank account to go over cost me 100 dollars in overdrafts i will never shop again they have too high of prices on USED CLOTHING and they steal money from u if your not paying attention to your account

If I wanted to pay $130 for a headboard, Id go to Art Van Clearance. "But theyre on sale" is what one sales associate told me. So, that makes it ok to hike your prices? Its a Salvation Army, for crying out loud. People come to pay $20 for furniture, not exorbitant overinflated prices. Sort it out, Sallys!

Jamie Towers

Nice and big. I help with special needs at church on Sundays. So there stuffed animals are 5/$1.00. That includes big 1s. So I have taken a bunch to class for the sick people. Also I get like tshirts and PJs for otherbfam members. Awesome.

Great finds, but the people are super rude, think they are gods gift or something.. Better not take time looking for the tags or sale specifications, because if you look like you are well groomed and have a job, they dont apply to you.

Great place to get kids clothes. Gotta catch their daily sales. Things can be expensive at times. The high prices are hard to pay knowing the items sold there were given to them to sell. Take advantage of their rewards card.

Easy drop off donations. I cleared my calendar thinking it would take 2 hours as I had a full car including trunk. The staff directed me to pull up and they emptied everything in probably 10 minutes although it felt like 5.

Clothes in various places. For instance, shorts will be in 5 different ailes with no apparent rhyme or reason. Also, prices are higher than other Salvation Armys but I suspect its due to the high end area its in.

Stacy Lorenz

The only thing I would change is this: instead of sorting everything by color, long sleeve, short sleeve, etc, I would make it simpler by just sorting everything by size instead.

Their prices are high and there really isnt good clothes there. The clothes are for older people. I went with my family and ended up only getting 4 things, and it was $22.

Rebekah Edwards

the employees mis-informed information and the managers are rude when I told him what happened. theyre overpriced and the other salvation armys have better deals.

Great Salvation Army store. Lots and lots to pick from with an abundance of plus sz clothing, which can be a very limited selection other stores.

Decent merchandise, prices are a little high. Overall I prefer the 23 mile New Baltimore location, but this location is a close second place.

I went looking for sweatpants for my son, they wanted $10.99 a pair for used pants. Other locations are much more reasonable.
