About The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center
The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center in St. Pete operates a thrift store that offers a large selection of items, including furniture and clothes, with quality that ranges all over the place. The store is known for its 50% off sales on specific days, such as furniture on Fridays and everything in the store on Wednesdays, allowing customers to find items like jeans and earrings for very low prices. Prices are generally fair, though some specific items may be higher priced than other thrift stores. The store is organized by type of clothing, though not by size, and can become crowded and busy on sale days, with a limited number of carts and dressing rooms. The environment is described as not overly clean and quite dark, with a mix of customers. The staff receives praise for being friendly and great, with particular recognition for being tough and intolerant of nonsense, which is seen as a needed approach. The broader Adult Rehabilitation Center program provides spiritual, social, and emotional assistance in a clean, wholesome environment through residential housing, work, and therapy to help participants re-enter society. The store itself is a source for deals for patient shoppers, with the strong recommendation to wash all clothing purchases before wearing.
