Everytime I go to make a purchase I show my military id FIRST and they always forget to add my discount. Everytime, even with the store manager present. They dont have it set up in the register. If I go to the store on whiskey road it's already programmed for discounts. They have gotten better with organization, but their selection is few. This store is bigger, but not much to choose from.

Since the store has undergone new management, the merchandise is stocked. The atmosphere is welcoming. And the prices are more than fair. Tons of furniture and as it sales, new pieces are already in. Great shoe selection. Scrubs. Suits and always coveralls can be found. I love this store and I frequent it a couple of times a week.

Hit or miss on selection. Prices are not the best but not as bad as goodwill. The store itself is pretty dirty. Hours are unreliable as the store often closes early. The workers seem to not enjoy their jobs.

The volunteers at both this location and the one on Whiskey Rd are pilfering the donations for themselves. They hide good things in a bag of so-so things they are "buying" for themselves and then just walk out with it. They also remove donations from the truck pickups before they are uploaded at the stores. Also, a few (3 or 4) of the volunteers (and employees) have an arrangement with a couple local antique dealers. When certain items the dealers want to buy cheap come in (nice furniture, antiques, nice art, gold/silver jewelry) the employees contact them and make a deal. (This has involved actual cash payments by dealers to employees before and may still)

Went today after a long time and this store has gone down hill. Very dark and absolutely filthy. It was so bad I didn't want to touch a thing and got out as quick as I could. It used to be an awesome thrift store.
