Salvation Army Thrift Store in Florida is "Too Good to Pass Up"
FamilyDestinationGuide.com went on the hunt for the biggest and best thrift stores in Florida, and we are humbled to share that our store in St. Petersburg made their exclusive list.
Writer Wyatt Johnson had this to say about the St. Pete Salvation Army Thrift Store (6015 66th St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33709):
"The Salvation Army in St. Petersburg isn’t just big—it’s the kind of big that makes you plan to spend the whole day exploring. And trust me, you’ll need it. The layout is thoughtfully designed, with wide aisles that accommodate the constant flow of treasure hunters. No bumping elbows with strangers here!
Their furniture section could furnish an entire apartment building. From basic necessities to statement pieces, the selection changes daily and the prices make retail stores seem like highway robbery.
The housewares department is a nostalgic trip through American kitchens of the past century. Pyrex from the 70s, appliances from the 80s, and novelty items from every decade line the shelves.
The clothing section is massive and organized by both size and type, making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.
And with most items priced between $3-$7, you can afford to be picky. I once found a leather jacket in perfect condition for $12 that still had the original $200 price tag tucked in the pocket. The cashier high-fived me. That’s the kind of place this is."
In another article, writer David Reeve, calls the St. Petersburg location the "wise elder of thrift stores."
"It’s been around forever and knows exactly how to deliver thrifting magic. Walking through the doors feels like entering a department store’s budget-friendly relative. The clothing section is perfectly organized with everything from everyday wear to office attire.
Their furniture section is where you’ll find the real treasures. Couches, table sets, and shelving units that should cost hundreds are priced incredibly low.
The housewares area is a dream for kitchen enthusiasts with gadgets, dishes, and appliances everywhere. What makes this place extra special is knowing your purchases support their community programs. Shopping here means you’re saving money while helping others at the same time. That’s what I call smart shopping with heart!"
