About The Salvation Army Thrift Store
The Salvation Army Thrift Store, part of a national charitable organization, offers a wide range of pre-loved secondhand goods, including clothing, accessories, housewares, home decor, footwear, and electronics. Customers can shop for affordable options for every person and style, or donate gently used clothing and household goods to receive a 20% discount on their next purchase. The store is known for being fairly clean and organized, with a helpful and friendly staff. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the lack of a change room, as well as instances where the prices were higher than the original sticker price on the item. Despite these minor issues, the store is a popular destination for thrifty shoppers, with seniors enjoying a 10% discount every day. Customers often find "unbelievable treasures" and are impressed by the store's overall organization and cleanliness.
I used to go here but haven't lately. I drove past the other day and no cars there but saw an open sign. I went in to see why the reason it is not busy. The housewares and toys are more expensive than any other thrift store. I never even bothered to look at clothes.
I used to donate and shop here because I believe in your mission.
Before it was hard to get a parking stall to shop but not now
I will not donate to this store any more. The re-sale prices for the items that have been donated to them are outrageous. There are plenty of other organizations that make it affordable for low income Calgarians to purchase donated items.
I think we got racially profiled today. My family and I were browsing to pass time and the security guard was following us around the store. He lingered in our area(s) and pretending to shop/look around. Followed my family to till by waiting in line, asking them if they’re in line to pay. Proceeded to wait behind them in line with his items only to put them back and wait at the front door again once they’re done. I understand employees have to follow orders from management but that behaviour is uncalled for. I don’t know what we did exhibit any “suspicious” behaviours that would grant security to follow us.
