This store is a perfect example of what can happen to a business when you put people in charge that dont know what they are doing; meaning both the officer making decisions down in paterson and the self important in store manager. This thrift store has gone from a important part of the community that people from all over came to to a filthy eyesore with shelves full of garbage and unsellable furniture that has been sitting in the same spot for months. The prices have also changed on everything and whoever made that decision needs their head checked.. Sometimes the nonsense works in your favor though, like when you get a $250 pair of Armani pants for $3 and a crappy pair of dockers for $6.. Ohh how the quality of this store has declined in recent years.. Some of the old volunteers could do a better job of running the store in all honesty, I support what SA does for people so what has happened here does not make me happy..

The store was awesome, then it went to crap, now its back on its way to awesome!...like the other reviews have said about closing early whenever, store being a mess, higher prices than should be. However in the past 6-8 months the store has really been turned/turning around. Its no longer a disaster, the quality of goods (furniture and clothing & accessories) seems to have gone up and prices roughly where they should be. Added bonus is that they have put in 2 dressing rooms! Each time I go in lately, to donate or to shop everyone is nice, pleasant & helpful. I cant say if the closing early for no reason is still a thing since because of work hours, now I can only go on saturday(this is why 4 stars instead of 5, since i cant verify that aspect & for a few years each & EVERY time i was able to make it there during the week before 5, the doors were always locked already)

I completely agree with previous comments. Cleanliness and organization has improved, yet the friendliness and ridiculously high prices havent. It was a place we went to donate any buy regularly- now we rarely have the interest to go. Lots of items just sitting there for months. Furniture especially is way over priced, not worth it at all. The previous management was awesome, the store was always displaying new things and prices were reasonable. Whoever reviewed saying that its back to great is totally wrong and maybe even related to the new management/ employees there. Bottom line, its been very overpriced and crappy for the past 1 and a half years. I always speak up when I go, which is rarely now. I even asked about the previous management last year, they said they got promoted, who knows....

Decent selection, excellent sales, helpful, and most importantly, priced much better than most local "thrift" shops. Salvation Army also has a reputation for truly helping people. Hope they continue to keep their prices low and decent, the way a thrift store should be.

New owners are very snippy and they close early whenever they please. Prices are sky rocketing and the place it self is very very dirty inside!

Great place to shop. Jeans usually less than $4 a pair. Lots of clothes to choose from. Helping them and helping myself at the same time.

Nothing really great and they kicked everyone out at 4:30 on a Monday even though their hours are 8-5.
