One of the super fun memorable moments from my girls weekend was that I left my suitcase at home,…read morein my kitchen. This, of course, delighted the NMA who howled with laughter as he showed it to me via the magic of FaceTime. Fortunately we ladies are resourceful. I had some clothing I tossed in a tote bag last minute "just in case it got cold", others leant me a few items. I admit though I wasn't wholly sad to go buy clothes, because it meant a trip to a thrift store. I love thrift. Thanks to this wonderful Yelp community and my handy-dandy Yelp app we located this Salvation Army thrift store in downtown Bloomsburg. There isn't a Salvation Army Thrift near me so this was the very first store I've been to from this organization. Parking was street, meters, not challenging though to find a spot in front. The store looks like a charity thrift store, which is really promising. Stores that look like boutiques or retail locations also generally have pricing to reflect the 'upscale' impression. Not totally unusual in those stores to see clothing priced above what it was when it was new. Right. This was well organized, rows and rows of clothing, signage on each row with category. There were also decor and home goods and such. My quest though was to find clothes. Jackpot! Got a really great pair of leggings, black stretchy pants with PoCkETs, a lovely dressy Dana Buchman knit scalloped top that I could not resist I don't care if it's hand wash and block dry and a cool pullover top. I lightly cruised the home goods and found an awesome little carved horse that I have on my desk. The staff at checkout were super nice and friendly, I unwittingly had a few sale 1/2 price items bonus and I walked out with cool stuff for $11. This store is OG thrift, roots thrift, classic thrift and I love it for that. They're about filling a need in our community, not maximizing profit that goes to "programs". I'm down with that. I'd visit again when in the area and would choose to go to another of these stores when I come across. *Note: The Air B &.B we stayed at had a washer and dryer, which was used before wearing anything. Always wash your purchase. One of my friends also got some scores in clothing at the store, pants for her work that she needed for like $1 each. She was thrilled. Always wash your thrift items, even New With Tag. Pro tip.

Here's I want to share my disappointing experience with the Salvation Army store. Over time, I have…read morespent thousands of dollars at this location, supporting their mission and purchasing items. However, despite being a loyal customer, I have been treated with disrespect and hostility by staff. Issues I've encountered: Items being resold unfairly. Being labeled a "nuisance". Staff smiling in your face, then turning rude, irate, and dismissive. Being told, "If you don't like it, you can leave." No paying customer--let alone one who has supported this store significantly--should be treated this way. If this is how they operate, they should reconsider their approach to customer service.

Has a standard selection for Goodwill that includes clothing, furniture, media, and housewares. The biggest issue with this store is selection here has always been lighter than other local Goodwill's. They just don't seem to get the depth in stock most others I've visited get. Employees have been useful during most of my visits. This locations strongest feature is the ease of donating. They seem to take most items but technology. The donation door is at the side of the entrance closest to the driveway, with the rules being clearly noted on a very visible sign. You do need to inform an employee you are here to donate. I've never had them reject anything I've donated. Overall, shopping here is ok, but donating here is easy and painless.

I have been looking for a quality pair of boots to replace the boots I bought from the Harley…read moredealer... because, the sales person seemed to know a little about bikes. I started searching the Internet about 3 weeks ago. I started by reading various biker forums and then online retailers. My thought was there is a much larger selection on the Internet than would be in a local store and I can read the reviews there as well. After putting hours in, I hesitated actually purchasing on the Internet. Sure, I may have been able to save $20; on a pair of close outs. But, what if they didn't fit or... I just didn't like them once I got them. I could eat up any savings rather quickly sending the first pair back... and what if the second pair wasn't any better? I then thought, I have a rather nice pair of Rockport hiking boots that perhaps could be resoled. The guy in Danville went out of business, Moyers in Sunbury is gone. Shame, the guy at Moyers did some really fancy work for my dad in building up a sole. Long story short, Champion Shoe Sales & Repair does the same fancy work and they sell many of the boots that my biker friends were enthusiastically endorsing. When I got there, I found the prices were cheaper than on the Internet for the boots I landed up purchasing. They spent half an hour with me until I found the perfect boot for me. And here's the kicker. When I asked what waterproofing stuff to get, Ken told me the good stuff actually bonds with the leather. However, since it penetrates, it can attack the glue if applied improperly. It is tricky to work with. He applied the water repellent for me. No charge!

Nice added touch is that the owner is personable and has very good customer service.

I remarked that not all of our party had entered and yet she still felt the need to repeat her demand in exactly the same tone of voice.

I felt that she was rude and unwelcoming from the start and throughout the time we were in the store. I will never go back there again and want to warn others to steer clear of this business!!!
