The Salvation Army Thrift Store & Donation Center - Boulder, Colorado

It can be great for treasure hunting. Yesterday, picked up like-new Hunter boots ($17) and tee (half off, $1.50).

But they have spent their last year becoming less customer-friendly. They redid their pricing; which was previously by type and now by item. The tags talk about returns, but the store is final sale. And yesterday in the middle of the afternoon they decided to close their fitting rooms forever. Their restroom is also closed.

Arc Thrift continues to reign supreme in CO.

Lots of clothing was stained and dirty, still selling for $8.99. The furniture was insanely priced, which most was also dirty looking or old. I saw a cabinet for $250?! Like ur kidding lol. And I thought goodwill was pricey! Probs won't come back..(it was a clean store at least)

Just spent 30 minutes finding an outfit for my cousin’s wedding turns out you can’t use the fitting Rooms. Here’s the real kicker you also can’t return them if they don’t fit…

I stop by this store on a regular basis and have been very dissapointed to such huge price increases. Just this morning I found a pair of end tables, which were nothing special for $99.99 each. I can buy new for that price. I don't understand the need for organizations that get items free to upcharge so much.

I just went here the other day and I’d like to say that it looks very nice compared to other stores that I’ve been too. Now another thing I’d like to note is the new management, they have been taking amazing care of this store. One example is once I walked in there wasn’t a single thing out of order, a second thing is the options to thrift were endless, many different things were organized all throughout and made my experience so much easier. After gathering all of my items there were a few workers that asked if I needed help ( This is the second time I’ve been to this store), once i received the help I needed I continued to buy my stuff and the worker ringing up the prices was extremely polite as well as patient. Lastly since I have the last time I was at this store I have to say they’ve received a new manager of the store and I’d like to say that this store is in amazing hands, opposed to the last manager which I can say definitely was not the right fit for this location!!

Stopped by to check this store out. It's huge, Lots of clothing, all in exceptional condition and the prices were great. I'm talking like six, nice shirts and jackets for $20. Crazy pricing. They had more than clothes too, but I was just looking at the clothing and there is a lot there to look at.

I was recently at this store and stumbled upon a royal blue dog collar. It smelled a little strange but I soon got over as my dog as my dog enjoyed eloquently strolling around the park🙈 thank you!

The store seems rather empty and devoid of interesting items these days. I understand that the new management has done away with the customer appreciation coupons that one would receive with a purchase or donation (now you must sign up to an email marketing list), and the store no longer has a day where students, seniors and (I think) veterans could receive a discount on their purchased items. The ‘shopping music’ in the store is constantly interrupted by annoyingly repetitive pleas for money, donations, cars or what have you. Granted, Goodwill does the same thing, but at least a percentage of their PSAs are also aimed at people in need with adverts for how and where to access services and training. Not everyone shopping in your store can afford to give you a car, Salvation Army, and some might even benefit from learning about your programs and how to take advantage of them. Be a little more sophisticated in your outreach! Three stars because the employees seem very nice, and the store, though sparsely stocked, is neat and clean.
