About

This Salvation Army location is a mixed bag. While some shoppers find great treasures and appreciate the large inventory, many are frustrated by the disorganized racks and rising prices. There are frequent complaints about the use of staples for tags, which damages clothing, and some reports of rude staff. It is a busy store that requires patience to find the good deals, but it is not for everyone.
