Salvation Army Family Store - Batavia (NY)

5 /5 Denise Ayrhart: This is by far the best thrift store in my area. I have found so many new to me clothes in excellent condition compared to another large thrift store in the area their prices are cheap I have lost so much weight in the past year I figured why buy new? These clothes are new to me. The staff are friendly also. Clean store exceptional choice of clothes to choose from . I also love how they put clothes in the color section they belong with. Awesome store!

1 /5 viktor kachaluba: Very confused as to why this Salvation Army thinks they are an antique or consignment store. The prices are ridiculous. A small breakfast table with chairs was $300, I saw a candle for 2.99 and behind it was the original tag that said it was on clearance for 75 cents. Mind you they get these items for free. It is disgusting how greedy they are. I can’t afford new furniture and apparently I can’t afford thrift furniture either, really disappointed.

2 /5 Maria Y: Although I have found some great items at a good price, generally items are priced much higher than they’re valued. A used pair of Vans shouldn’t be $50, a box SET of 4 children’s books was going to be charged by the individual book even though it was sealed and sold as a set??? Ridiculous! Movies are $4 but if there are multiple discs you get charged $4 for each one. Many times I’ve had to walk out without purchasing the items I was eyeing because of the price. Aside from that, the store is often filthy and employees are extremely rude. One lady, I believe her name is Jess, has often provided me with the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced at any establishment. They are so terrible, it seems like having a bad attitude and lacking customer service skills is a prerequisite for working there. Goodwill’s prices are generally higher, but the store is clean and employees are very pleasant I prefer to shop there when I can.

4 /5 Brenda Bauer: It’s a thrift store, every thing has been donated to them yet I still don’t understand how they price their stuff. Some things are ridiculously priced like used candles are price @$3.00 , used furniture mind you donated $100.00-$300.00 I have found some great deals though ,Levi’s $0.99 name brand purses just like new for $0.99 Yet theres stuff that’s torn has stains etc for $4.99 makes no sense. But I will continue to look for the bargains because they are still cheaper than Good Will

4 /5 Amirs Sittu: If you follow me and my reviews you know Im a HUGE bargain hunter and absolutely despise paying full price for something I can get from a church sale or thrift store for a fraction of the price or better yet free! I also love the feeling of not adding to the landfill by recycling used! So Ive been on the prowl looking for specific vintage curtains for my living room. Being in the Batavia area I stopped in the salvation army thrift store on Jackson st to hoping to find my curtains. Browsing the store I was approached by the assistant manager (Tanya) who made herself available for for any questions,what a nice surprise! Pricing is pretty good in my opinion, customer service is really good and the store is well organized. So the shopping experience was fun and Ill definitely go back again. Unfortunately my search continues for my curtains!
