I brought it back to return and the worker told me they have a no refund policy and pointed to a sign I didn't see when I checked out. I showed the worked the stain and said, don't you have a no stain policy? The worker said no, it's your responsibility to fully check over the item before purchasing. That sure would have been nice to know BEFORE I bought anything! I can't even donate these pants to the Salvation Army because THEY have a no stain policy. I will never shop here again. You can get higher quality items at free clothing closets. Save your money.

If you want to go here don't forget your gas mask for the top floor. It smells like moth balls and wet spent cigarettes. I'm giving this place five stars because the dogs let me pet them!

With 4 children we have to be thrifty shoppers. We enjoy shopping at Salvation Army and other…read morethrift stores, but literally walked out of the Gardner store very disappointed and kinda pissed on 08-16-14. Used, beat up, dirty, boys sneakers: $9.99. Kids paperback book: $4.99. Kids t-shirt: $3.99. None of which were super high quality, major, name, high fashion brands. The shoes and t-shirt were Wal-Mart brand items. An elderly woman was looking for a blanket or quilt for her dog. There was a fake sheepskin, brown, worn out, stained blanket marked $39.99. The woman said that she had to look 3 times at the price because she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. Something isn't right there... Not sure if it's the management or an employee marking the items at these prices, but it's wrong, crazy and unfortunate. We visited a Salvation Army store in Portsmouth, NH and filled a giant bag with shoes, clothing, a giant crockpot, and other various items for $35 bucks a few weeks ago and most of the items were brand new with the store tags still attached. Out of curiosity, we took a ride over to the big Fitchburg Salvation Army and wow!! What a price difference! How can the prices differ so much between the stores? Why is Gardner overpriced by so much?? Skip Gardner and go over to Fitchburg, Turners Falls, Greenfield or Hadley next time. Worth the drive!

If you have gone here in the past they used to be a lot less organized but now they have it dialed in where like things are grouped together. There are some booth spaces and some main shopping areas. There are also closed off areas and areas where the floor is all wet for no reason Decent selection of Japanese and Chinese items, also a decent selection of crap and an abundance of over priced items.
