WONDERFUL STORE!!! I LOVE The Salvation Army!! This store was great, with nice workers, with a great selection of donated items at very reasonable prices!! FOLKS... REMEMBER that the Salvation Army sells donated items to make money to fund their rehabilitation centers!!! In other words....THEY GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY!! ALL profits go back to the community to help fund their programs!! Does Walmart??? NO! Of course not!! I'll gladly "overpay" for anything at a SA thrift store, than go to Wallyworld to support those evil billionaires, the Walton family! As a proud combat veteran, I fully support and endorse The Salvation Army and it's missions!! THANK YOU SALVATION ARMY! You're awesome! SEMPER FI
I was at the register checking out and the worker thought the item was priced low so they went on their phone to look up the price and marked up the item by $50
This store is super expensive and more than half the items were stained or had tears. So many items were $10 or even more. It’s decently organized, but that’s all about it has going for it. If you’re going to go, definitely only go on Wednesdays when things are half off, but even then you’re probably overpaying.
My wife and I stopped here looking for Halloween costumes. Things were not priced well, we enquired at the desk and the woman there was unbelievable. She saw the retail price was $29.99, then told us it would cost $12.99, we passed at that price.
We also had a basic top and bottom set, with a price tag of $.99. she informed us that is just how items "come in" and was not an accurate price.
The woman informed us that the operate on donations, that is why they price things like that.
I was so confused and irritated I left with nothing. I will not be returning to these stores.
The place is a dump at first glance. There, I said it. But here's the deal - the people working there are wonderful and pillars of the community. Despite all outward appearances of it being a trashy thrift store, they have some really neat stuff there and always have.
The people are nice. There was a guy worked in the bag. He looked like he was a little off. It may have been that homeless guy. Good spot! In case you need to look for something like silverware or utensils. There are other items too n
I have found so really nice clothing at this store. Employees very nice as well as helpful. I like this SA Store better than any of the others that I've been to!
Got exactly what I needed for a amazing price. I picked up some nice cloths for church for almost nothing. Always recommend a good salvation army store
Not so much the place itself but the prices are way out of line suppose to help people suppose to be cheaper than regular store. The clothes are stained holes on them I know you help with rescue efforts but the stuff is donated you could sell more and help more people if the prices were not so high your product would sell faster and faster return and stuff would not just sit there for weeks.
Nothing great here and most of the clothes are a tattered, stained mess. They should be a little more discerning with what they take in. However, the staff was VERY kind and that alone would make me return if I thought I could find what I needed.
Was told by one of the workers that on a particular day there would be a sale going on. I get there at 8am, which according to the internet said the store was open, and was told by a man that was opening the store that they didn't open until 10 am. Then proceeded to insinuate that I was lying that someone told me about a sale going on. He was very rude and arrogant. Sorry but there was absolutely no reason to be arrogant to any potential customers, especially when you are working for a charitable Christian organization.
This is one of those hit-or-miss stops where recent donations determine the success of your visit. I dropped one star because Sal Army stores in general severely cut back their store hours, which makes it difficult to catch them open. The Chittenango store nearly earns back the fifth star by having classic rock playing, instead of the new country that seems to be playing everywhere else.....you'd think we were living in Kentucky....
This is such a well organized store, very clean, the friendliest staff, everyone is helpful and cheerful. Nice selection and of course, great prices. Fun to shop here, you just never know what you'll find!
The salvation army was great. Great manager, she knows how to treat people, way better than the last one. I had a great experience and I recommend friends to shop there and I can't wait to go back.
Last "3" years....Beautiful Displayed, Great Staff, Clean, wouldn't know it was a Thrift Store ...but now YUCK!!! What Happens When THEY Get Rid of Great Employee.....Store Sales, Cleanliness, Displays & Customers Will Suffer ....Good Luck With All That!! ?
Other reviews complain about the clothing and such, but it's a salvation army store...if you go to any salvation army expecting to find an 800 dollar leather jacket, you will be very disappointed. That said, the staff is friendly at this location and it's fairly clean for the other SA's I've been to. Keep up the good work.
Disappointed in the pricing. Used to be a great place to get a deal, but 9.99 for a stained t-shirt? No thanks, I'll spend 12 and get a new one. I don't know who does the pricing, but they need a reality check.
I believe the store seems improved since the last time I volunteered my services at this location. Much more organized and welcoming in appearance. The prices are high for a thrift store, as I was leaving with just 4 pairs of shorts for my youngest I was thinking I could of bought brand new for just $2 more a pair.
I have donated clothing and household items to this location for many years. After my most recent attempt to drop off items, I will no longer donate here. On a rainy afternoon, I went to this store with a few small things to donate. I was told to sit them outside, I said "no". I asked " may I put them in the drop boxes", again I was told "no" and informed " those are for clothing only". I asked if I could tuck them in a box. I was told "no" again. I was informed I could not leave my items. After making the trip, while the store was open, needless to say I was annoyed and will not donated anything here again.
It is a shame when you attempt to do the right thing, that you are turned away. My comment was "your lose" and I left.
I have shopped this store for years! Over the last couple of years, the prices have skyrocketed! Charging ridiculous prices for items that are donated. The staff is relatively friendly but the management isn't super friendly. Went there this evening with my boys. Went to cash out and was told that the cashier had already closed down her credit card machine (about 15 minutes early)..I had already spent an hour there and only had a debit card on me. I mentioned to the manager that a heads up would of been nice and she rudely told me that she announced the store was closing soon. Understood, but maybe mention you are only taking cash! A waste of my time! The Rome Salvation Army is more reasonably priced. I'll send my donations and business there.
