    Great place to go shopping.

    I had a negative experience at this place every time recently. Prices are absurd, more and more stained, ripped, unwearable clothing for crazy prices. I tested a kettle in store but when I got home, it kept turning off. So apparently electrical items are final sale? That’s $20 in the garbage. Absurd pricing practices, two identical items had $3 difference in price. Zero sense of respect to shoppers. Do yourself a favour and go to other thrift stores, even other Salvation Armys, not here.

    I come here all the time. I've bought a lot of my favorite clothing items here over the past few years. Prices are good. It's fun to look in the home section and look at the quirky items. There are a lot of pots, pans and dishes. Good book selections and fairly priced. It's a great store overall.
