This is my favorite Marden's store. As a long time Marden's shopper I can tell you that this place,…read moreand the entire chain, is not as good as it used to be. That is I used to find amazing deals but the amazing deals are mostly gone and I occasionally find a pretty good deal. This location has a phenomenal fabric selection. You can leave having spent $100 and have an amazing haul of last season's and the season's before patterns. Name brands and awesome patterns. When you compare the amount purchased to a place like Walmart you easily have double the amount of fabric. When compared to Joanne's hell it's 3 or 4 times the amount. If you need bolts and tools, this is a good place to get cheapo made in china junk. Occasionally something better. Another location to look is shoes. They occasionally get in name brands and sell them at 50% MSRP. (In contrast to their old pricing which was a mystery but was always about 25% of the MSRP) I picked up a snazzy pair of Tretorn sneaker that list for about $65 and I snagged them for $32. Not bad at all. Occasionally you can still find $5 shoes if you look hard. The Marden's organizational "system" must always be mentioned in a review of Marden's. They have general areas where stuff is dropped. That is to say there are aisles for the sneakers, clothing, tools, etc. The shoes and fabric are pretty well organized, but the rest of the store really follows that pallet drop mentality. Drop it and unload it in that area. In some case the pallet is simply cut open and left to sit.

Like a toy store for makers --- so many weird wonderful useful things at great discounts.read more

It is perhaps unfair to compare this branch of the Salvation Army thrift store chain with a larger,…read morewell-run branch I have shopped at in Portland, but a comparison is inevitable if you have been to both. This poky little store carries a variety of items to browse through and is worth a look, but it doesn't strike me after several visits as being very well run. I have never witnessed a staff person in the store itself except at the register, and have not spoken to a pleasant cashier as yet, though I am sure they must employ one or two. My wife uses a walker at times, but when we shop she uses a shopping cart as support so she can leave the walker behind. On one of our recent visits, even as restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic are gradually being relaxed, the cashier stated we could not take the shopping cart outside the store because she needed to wipe it down for the next customer. I can sympathize if they have no one to gather carts from outside the store, but it seems odd to require customers to carry their bulky purchases to their vehicles, especially those like my wife who have trouble with walking unaided at times. Luckily I was with her. We will probably shop at this branch again, but in the short term I would discourage anyone with physical issues from shopping there alone.

I've been visiting this location for 7 years and it's always disorganized and messy. Truthfully, I…read morethought it was fun to dig around for things for a while. The store itself has taken a sharp turn for the worst though. Half of the items in the store aren't priced clearly or at all anymore. That means that I usually get lots of stuff taken away from me to be reprocessed out back when I go to the register. I get the same spiel about not being able to price things on the spot, company policy, sorry for the inconvenience, and to come back to the store in a few days and the items might be back on the shelves again. The employees at this store are overworked and have no support and are not empowered to do right by the customers that Salvation Army relies on. Frankly, they all look like they would rather shoot themselves than be at work and take forever to get anything done at all. There's mountains of donations out back but they can't actually sell any of it because of the constant state of disorganization and endless cycle of processing or reprocessing. The four tin containers that I wanted to buy from Salvation Army for my craft room were removed from my cart because they weren't priced and needed to be reprocessed. That was 6 days ago and those tin containers are still sitting behind the register gathering dust. It's frustrating to have the money but be denied the actual purchase because of ineptitude on Salvation Army's part. I will not come back to this location again.
