For the size of the space, which isn't too big, they still had a great selection. Since we visited after the holidays they had lots of sales. Not as much furniture from what I could tell, but great amount of kitchen dinnerware and clothing! Parking lot is crazy big since it's by a few other places. Driving here was also a breeze since there were quite a few signs leading to it! I'll definitely be checking this place out again soon.

A wide assortment of clothes and hard goods. As far as layout and in-store vibe I'd put this up as one of the nicest thrift stores in the Des Moines metro! From their web site: "About us: We wanted to create a different kind of thrift store with a premium shopping experience - one where people could count on finding a great variety of quality items in an organized, pleasant atmosphere. Thriftmart is a nonprofit store owned by Joppa. All merchandise has been donated by Joppa Partners to match our meticulous quality standards so that you'll enjoy quality finds, every time! We all know thrifting is important for sustainability. Reusing items is not only economical it also helps sustain the environment. Plus, all unsold Thriftmart merchandise goes to good causes--nothing goes to waste. What's more, every purchase helps someone experiencing homelessness to survive, find housing and rebuild their lives. Our goal is to ultimately help end homelessness in central Iowa." https://thriftmart.com/

Booth after booth and case after case are loaded with treasures! It's obvious that some vendors take more pride in their booths than others. Some booths just look messy and others are very tidy and organized. I was REALLY excited to see a vintage Kmart cart and some old Walgreens hand baskets here. They're for shoppers use, not for buying. My guy was happy to get a plate of cookies from Luanna's Kitchen. ;) This was a very fun place to stop! Highly recommend!

Made three attempts to pick that refrigerator up all three I failed due to lack of staffing and management support, unable to get it to the doctors or the front doors.. finally, being disabled as the managers watch, I pushed it from the back of the store to the front of the store myself. Hours before I picked it up I had an assistant manager call me three times within 45 minutes, threatening and bullying me that if it wasn't picked up, I will be charged hourly additional fees and everything put back on the floor. I shop at the store all the time daily. With customer service like this They will be out of business before they could say Salvation Army. I would not recommend shopping at the store or any other Salvation Army. The prices are getting as high as new retail stores, if not higher, but they're selling his merchandise that was donated. I've never been treated so poorly or has such bad customer service in my life

The bad news: this Salvation Army appears to be quite picked over. Do head to the basement: it's significantly larger than the upstairs space and is where the clothing, children's items, and housewares live. The staff were friendly, and items were well-organized, so if you are in the neighborhood it's worth a quick look. Just be prepared that the professional pickers have probably already been through several times the day you visit.

The Picker Knows is one of those places... Probably the premier, and my favorite, antique "mall" in the Des Moines metro! Rows and rows of vendor booth and cases. I'd hate to total the money up that I've spent here... And buying is great, but a lot of times I just have fun window shopping. Looking at the many different things here that I can't afford or have no business spending money on... Lol Very large display items, furniture, antiques, retro and vintage, some modern, a few clothes, comics, vinyls, Hot Wheels, some dusty and rusty things, handcrafted items, and tons of smalls! Prices are vendor driven. So some are high, some are at market, and there are great deals to be found here too. As a veteran I appreciate the veteran's only parking spot near the front door. At only 55 I pass it up a lot because there are veterans in A LOT worse shape than I am. But I have used it a couple of times. It's so easy to spend hours here! Vendors leave and new vendors fill their slots. And with the merchandise being vendor provided...the selection is ever changing! The staff is fantastic and always available for questions or to open a case! The bathrooms aren't terrible for this environment. They aren't perfect...pretty plain Jane...but they don't send you running for the hills. Lol The Picker Knows is a must stop in the Des Moines metro if you are into antiquing or thrifting!
