About The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center
The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center is a large thrift store with a fairly large selection of items, including a good clothing selection and a large amount of furniture. The store is described as rather large with a large stock of stuff to buy for cheap, and there are some deals on everything. The space is a bit worn and some sections, like the kitchen area, are not the most organized, but it is by no means bad. Items are organized by type and color, not by size, which can make shopping harder. Prices are generally great, though some items are priced a little high unless they are the half-price color. The store has a dressing room and mirror, and there is plenty of parking. Proceeds from sales fund the organization's Adult Rehabilitation Centers. The donation process can be unclear, with bins located around the side of the building and sometimes left open in the rain. Employee interactions are mixed; some are generally friendly, while others have been unfriendly or unhelpful. There have been incidents where management rapidly escalated conflicts with customers to the point of yelling, which made some customers uncomfortable. The checkout process sometimes involves persistent requests for additional donations. While convenient for some and offering good prices, the store's environment and service inconsistencies mean some customers would not recommend going out of the way to visit.
