This place is so cute!I love how well organized is everything. It doesn't show that is a thrift store. Nice and clean. Prices are very affordable. Great finds!The staff is very kind and helpful. I will definitely will go back. The only inconvenience is the parking but not biggy.

Nice open space store with elbow room, good selection, nicely organized, good prices, bit slim on parking spaces.

Wrongfully accused of stealing a camera. I had my husband ask for assistance in the electronic section (where there were cameras displayed). SA said go ahead, it's an open case. I noticed it was already opened, but went ahead and asked for assistance regardless. Therefore, I take out the camera I was looking at. Then another lady comes and grabs a camera from the case, I saw her put it back but I wasn't watching her, I was looking at the camera I took out of the caseline. The other lady put the camera back and walked away. I went ahead and looked at the camera as well and put it back then closed the case. All of a sudden the SA said she had to watch me, I didn't mind, I wasn't doing anything wrong. Then all of a sudden she asked me where the other camera was. I said I put back what I was looking at. She said "No, there was another camera, where is it?". I answered her, I didn't see another camera..Then she asked "where was the other lady who was with you?", I told he no other lady was with me. I told her the other lady looking at cameras was another customer, not part of my party. She is freaking out and honestly I felt discriminated. I don't know if it's because of what I was wearing and that I was looking at cameras, having a camera around my neck ( I'm a tourist), I'm here visiting from out of town, My hobby is photography, so naturally every time I go to a thrift I always want to look at cameras.Cashier told me , as I decided to pay for my items, that she wasn't accusing me of theft, but I told her I felt she was. It's not my fault she left the case open from the beginning, before I even went to look at the camera the case was slightly open. I told her to review cameras when she asked me where the second camera was. I love thrift shops, but I will not be returning to this one. Sucks, but she didn't know how to handle the situation and I don't like how she made me feel. Being the only minorities shopping at that thrift and she accused us both of stealing a camera that wasn't even there when we approached the caseline.

Punished by mean spirited girls working there; wouldn’t sell me the clothes I picked out. They wouldn’t let me try anything on, ok fine, I arrived there twenty minutes before closing. They scolded me for bringing in a donation in after 4pm, which they took, but would not give me 15 percent off coupon when I asked. They kept giving me looks like they were bothered. I brought 10 clothing items up to counter. In a sarcastic tone they said, “we hope you have a better day tomorrow”….I was having a good day, I told them they did not seem happy at all. With her hands on my items, cashier asked if I “still wanted the pants?” I asked, “why, you won’t sell them to me?” And she said, “ No, not really”. So I left. Cruel of them to punish a 10 year patron on account of their own bruised ego, poor representation of this beloved local thrift store.

Great thrift store with the FRIENDLIEST young ladies working in there. (I wish I would've asked their names) It was my first time going there and I was pleasantly surprised after visiting 2 other thrift stores beforehand. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in town. My new favorite thrift store in town!

I had a typewriter in my hand at the register, and a woman in line said "I saw that, and was thinking about buying it." The girl behind the counter said "well, she was thinking about it so she should have it."...and they sold it out of my hand.Never. Going. Back.

Very well organized thrift shop. I like how they accept anything from pet supplies to fishing rods to church school costumes. The only thing that made me sad was that they had goldfish in tiny plastic containers nailed to a wall. They looked sad and dead. Otherwise this store offers so many books and cookware that you may never need to buy new ever again. The staff is also extremely friendly.

This is a great thrift shop. The prices are unbelievably low and there’s usually some sort of discount that fits with you. Such as the vets, student, etc. The only thing I would have to say against it is that they don’t restock all that often. It’s hard to find something new if you’re going for a second time or more.

I always seem to find what I need. At a fraction of the price. I went in for a white western shirt and bolo tie. And I came out with a very nice pearl button shirt , dove filigree bolo and a spare regular tie for $12.00 !

Cute place, very low prices. Large selection. They do take donations. Right now they are limiting capacity, so don't go too close to closing time.

Incredible selection of everything you could want from a thrift store. Already in 2 weeks of living in SLO I've bought a table, jars, and an awesome coffee maker from them!
