Prices were very affordable as should be unlike goodwill being so expensive but the cashier was extremely rude 11/18/2023 around 2 pm. We were trying to be extremely nice, bc short staffed & we got a lot of stuff & a head board we needed help with. There was an item that was missing a price and we were just asking if it a unique item could be re-priced/reprocessed very nicely as we live far away & can’t come back often. We weren’t sure on the procedure, and she was very combative & very rude about it. Very accusatory honestly “No. We can’t. It’s policy bc customers keep ripping off tags to get things for cheap!” Everything was super affordable and very fairly priced at $1.99 and 3-4 dollars an item in clothing & knitting items….. we apologized for having so much stuff and taking so long and then she said “No. my manager is on break. Everybody deserves a break here! We’re here all day.” as if we were hinting that they were taking too long with dealing with customers. We were just apologizing for buying so much stuff bc we found a lot of good stuff She honestly made us kind of feel bad for no reason at all…. Wonderful experience besides the cashiers attitude!!! Definitely needs to work on that bc it was so pleasant & such a good day until dealing with her!!!!

Went here today.... I always try to stop when I am in the Bangor Area and I am Treasure Hunting. This store has come along way under new management I believe. Much more organized and customer focused. This location is more then a resale or junk shop.

Good prices on some things. Usually happy here as I go there often. But brought 2 blankets up to register and because the tags fell off they epuldnt sell me the blankets. So disappointed. I was willing to pay full price for whatever they said. They told me come back in 2 days when they cluld put new prices on them and put them on the shelf again. I didnt say anything, besides I wondered why I couldnt just buy them. I bought my other items that had tags on them and walked out.

This is the second time i haven't been able to make it here.The first time you guys close at 5? Its never been like this before?And now you say your open today but we get there and you just have a stupid sign saying you're closed for "good friday" but it wasn't even listed on the Google map that you were closed?I hope you realized i had a breakdown over this. This is horrible.

I shop here every Saturday for my day out. Thank you for keeping your prices down where poor people and seniors can afford to go to.

Picked up some small toys for our Grandchildren when they visit, the cashier women were so very nice and helpful they even started to pack our shopping bags when we brought them from the car! Smiles were abound and the store is clean and well organized for a thrift store!

I love going in here. I usually find some sort of treasure or a great deal. I would love to be able to buy furniture there but, it's cash and carry. You pay for it, you take it right then. No time to borrow a truck and pick it up.I have to say I'm rather surprised at some.of the prices in there today. More the clothing than anything else. $10 for a pair of shorts that have stains on them because they were Gap. I passed.On the other hand, my son got a microwave for $8 so, that was an amazing find since he is just getting his own place.I recommend going in often since there is new stuff on the daily. I myself go once a week.

TERRIBLE! I purchased a great many items, and one little toy that my 4 year old wanted didn’t have a price. Instead of asking a manager to price it, he flat out refused to sell it to us. I can see if this was possibly a high value item, but it was a junky little toy, and it made my son cry in front of the entire line. Like we are going to try to get a $1 toy for cheaper by taking the stupid price tag off. Absolutely ridiculous!!

Always amazing deals on all kinds of good things from clothing to a VHS or DVD player. So many books and movies of all sorts to choose from. The clothing is decent and at a good price. This is truly a store with prices that are reasonable to actually help people.

When shopping with my two younoig kids my 3 year old found a little stuffed animal she wanted. When I got to the cashier after shopping for myself I was told that they wouldn't sell it because it did not have a price. I asked for a manager to price for me. I was told that their policy was to send it back to be processes and would take 2 days for it to came back out on the floor to be sold. How rediculas. What a waste of time. When agrued I was told it was a good lesson for my child. Tell me what lesson is being told to a 3 year old to find a toy and then not be allowed to purchase. The most rediculas thing is that I had another a stuffed animal that was same shape and size with a price tag and would still not sell to me.

Love it whenever I'm in bangor, please support them, I've been to some of there places they really do feed the hungry and help the less fortunate, don't mind the billionaire ceo's,,, the people who do the football work have a compassion for people, ever been homeless in the winter, lose a job and a place to live, maybe a flood or fire. Maybe an addition, (no judgment) salvation army's been helping people sincerely forever so if you don't find anything you like, drop a $buck or two anyway, you will be helping someone locally, trust me, it helps especially now in winter. When all the once a year do gooders already gave for the Hollidays, Don't hate they gave and someone eat that day, but they're still hungry (a dare) drop in drop a buck or two and leave, I will bet, you'll feel really good. and someone will feel good after they have a hot meal, pass it on

The best prices of all the thrift shops in the Bangor area. Excellent furniture prices. Priced to move. Cheaper than garage sales. They have cleaned the place up and keep it much more organized. I believe they deal with a lot of donations, dock and warehouse always packed. New stuff every day.

This store can be very disorganized and smelly. You also can hear the staff yell at each other. The prices are great here, however, which is why I go back.

If possible I would leave zero stars. The “doorman” stopped me and my family at the door and began berating us for not wearing masks. We are all encumbered with health conditioned and prevent us from wearing them as we explained to the staff. They said they don’t care we can’t enter. They said they have a “no mask shopping at 5”. Upon looking on their site, they close at 5! I asked for the managers number and she gave me the stores general number and was dialing the police when we left. Customers and staff alike were screaming obscenities and swears at us for not being able to wear a mask. I know this is a troubling time for some but this is uncalled for.

I've been frequenting the Broadway Salvation Army for quite a few years now and one thing I can say definitively is that it's nothing at all like it used to be, that is, of course to say the least, the very least. Fact is nothing else on Earth could raise my anxiety level such as what this place has become. The prices have gone up so much that you'd swear they're using the proceeds to help cover the national debt. The staff has become far less helpful than ever, unless you consider the ridiculous excuse for a semblance of organization/order helpful to anyone other than maybe the cockroaches that are hiding throughout the mess otherwise known as the inventory. I've heard through the proverbial grapevine that they've even changed their pricing methods as well, now the deciding factor is allegedly decided by outside source such as the eBay and Amazon gods that rule the internet supermall. This brings about the question "why on God's green earth should I subject myself to the torture that is a day out at the Sally when I can sit at home in my drawers on my laptop, find better quality items and find even better prices without the self inflicted anguish of having to tolerate inpatient and at times rude employees who clearly have favorites in the customer class, seeing as how at six p.m. on the dot they herd everything breathing within the store up to the line at the front counter and if you happen to be one of these unfortunates, then you better be sure to act and behave as if you were back in Sister Catherine's first period theology torment, I mean class because if you step more than three inches out of bounds you'll regret it. Regardless if one of those favorites is at the register gabbing away with the clerk behind the counter about last week's bingo winnings or something even more frivolous, doing nothing other than creating more efficient ways to waste your time. Well I happened to step to the side in this situation once to take one last look at something about five feet away and was then embarrassed when Brumhilda behind the counter decided to reprimand me in a way that was indicative of someone who was lucky enough to personally catch the neighborhood serial killer of kittens and puppies. It would seem as if this once saintly organization has indeed lost a step along the way somewhere.

Awesome thrift store. Better prices than Goodwill. Clothing is arranged by gender and color, but not by size. I wish they would arrange by size, but they usually have a good selection of merchandise.
