    So organized and clean!
    Lois R.

    This AmVets is kept very neat, tidy and clean. I appreciate how brightly lit is too. It makes everything feel shiny and exciting. Everything felt well organized and maintained. Props to the staff for their diligence. This store now has a special place in my heart after this weekend's purchase in which my husband was positively gleeful after he found a Hawaiian-print love seat for $16. Everyone was really nice about helping us load it onto our little car, and it was endearing to have other customers even offer to help us lift it. Having found such a unique piece I will be checking this location more often when searching for furniture. The clothes and shoes are decent quality, sorted by size into the typical categories. I didn't find anything for myself on my most recent visit but I liked what I saw. I thought the styling on the mannequins in particular was great and inspiring. I will make a note, the parking lot is a wee bit wonky so drive slow going into the place. It's tight and curved.

    Golf clubs for $3? Sold! Most know Amvets and this location isn't much different than their other thrift stores. Lots of clothes, furniture...and specifically --- golf clubs! I needed a putter for an event I was putting on and Amvets did not fail me. $3!!! This location is on Walden Ave pretty close to the Galeria Mall. The staff was nice and they accepted credit cards. I'll definitely be looking for Amvets next time I'm thrift shopping.

    Stopped by this store today just after 1 pm and got the most discourteous unwelcome to this store. my husband went ahead of me and I navigated the piles of snow and stopped to look at wall pictures throug the window. I saw him talking to a man outside the door and thought it was a beggar. To my surprise it was the manager lay waiting me and blurted to me "ma'am can you leave your bag in your car?" I asked what do you mean and he replied "you can't come in here with that" so I asked why? and he said "your bag is too big, and I have to ensure you don't put anything in your bag." I had a normal pocketbook so I told him I am not doing that, it's my bag so he said put it in your trunk nobody will know it's in there. I told him nobody tells me what to do and I hadn't been in the door yet. He said "well I,am going to follow you around and he did. We were going to the furniture section and he did came and took a seat watching me. I turned around took his photo and walked out, I couldn't spend my hard earned cash in a discriminatory enterprise. I am African American just moved to Western New York three weeks now, what a disgusting place and I don't care what policies they have. To think that he is a black man being a stupid puppet for whoever is his boss. I made him know we are not thieves but hardworking people with integrity. While he followed me and sat down, white people came in the store and he wasn't at the door telling them to leave their pocketbookd in their cars. This manager has no training, doesn't know customer service or how to make repeat customers. A word of advice to Amvets on Walden Ave, invest in cameras if you have shoplifting problem. If I have to steal then my God, Jehovah Jireh cannot provide for me, and I know my God is not broke. That's the manager watching me spending one minute or less in the furniture department. In retrospect I shouldn't have entered the store based on his stereotyping us from the outside of the store. While this so called manager was outside discriminating against us, did he think the customers in the store both black and white could have been stealing but he had time to meet us outside to dish his unmanagerial trash on us? As a manager, I could give you tips on how to manage your store, make profits and maintain a good relationship with your customers. Shame on you Amvets Thrift Store. I wish it were possible to give you 0 star rating, you don't deserve any

    It's an amazing place and it helps so many people you get brand new thing for very very cheap. I would highly recommend it.

    The store has fair prices. It could be cleaner. Lots of variety. Unlike Savers they have fitting rooms.

    I can always find work clothing there for work on my farm and in my shop. A bigger store than most. Very reasonable prices.

Not only is this shop great for all your holiday needs, it's also a great place for quality finds. There is a good housewares section (my last visit I scored a giant ceramic serving platter...$5!) and endless bric-a-brac. The whole shop is neatly organized and they have a friendly, helpful team working. They also have a shopper card - make 5 $15 purchases and get $15 credit. Nice bonus.

I have to say that this is the cleanest thrift store I have ever been to...and the people who work there are great. I mean, they really had good, quality merchandise and a nice book selection! I know it's an independent business, and I swear, I would come here all the time if I can. Good, God-fearing people, and they are so friendly and conversational! Being from the Chicago area, their prices were on-par with thrift store pricing here, except this place has really good stuff, so I was ok with the prices overall. As a sports memorabilia collector, it so happened that I was able to find old sports newspapers with NFL hall-of-famers in there from 1988, so I was happy to make that purchase! As I am in town 2-3 times a year, this will be a place I check out each visit!

Some people cannot bear the thought of buying used clothes but did you know that if you want a book to read you can get a paperback for a quarter or a hardcover for a dollar? Things out of print, ideas, music, ornaments, art, you name it is is in here at one time or another. Once upon a time the people of the earth used to consume or toss away good items into the trash but now..... the only thing that limits what you can use from this store is your imagination. I used to work for another location in the city and cannot call them a kind or generous employer, in fact there, they really stink in that department but the second hand offereings on pennies for a dollar are just waiting there to be discovered. An economical environmetally friendly place. Be nice to the staff, you might be the nicest thing they see all day!
