My first time here and it was awesome. Most of my items were discounted and I got such a great deal. The assistant manager was not only professional but very knowledgeable and helpful. She was so kind to me and explained the prices and discounts they have. Definitely worth your money and time. They have a lot of very cool pieces here. Love the staff, can’t wait to come back!! Thank you ❤️

I did my community service there. The staff was really nice and I got to do a lot of shopping after work. The prices are really great and they have discount days which I love. this is my favorite thrift store because My friend actually found her wedding dress here for under $100 and it was brand new.

Definitely the best affordable thrift store in Long Beach also I was just informed the Christmas Eve 2024 hours will be 9am - 1:00pm.

Thank you for reading this !

MOMS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN BE AWARE!
This is the mom writing. My 5 year old
Daughter went with her father and my 11 year old niece to the store before Christmas. When they came home, my niece told me that she saw the security guard took a picture of my daughter while she was playing with a drum set. When I called, the manager told me that the security guards take pictures of “different angles of the store “ and send it to their managers. She “assured” me and he was not taking a picture of my daughter, instead he was taking a picture on that angle. Really? Right as my daughter was playing the drum set? Couldn’t he have waited or nicely told her to mover over? This does not even make sense!! If this is even true ( weird) that they take pictures of diff angles, they need to make people aware that they are doing this. This is insane and scary. Please be on the look out of your children.

Pricing is a little off, some items are way overpriced for a thrift store (as you can see on the pictures that I have posted) however they have 3 tickets that are discounted daily where some items with specific colors ring up as $1.20 or 5 for $3.00. I did make a few purchases that made me extremely happy as the price and item were where they should be ( with the applied discounts of course). Lately , I have noticed that thrift store pricing is akin to Ebay, Ross, Marshalls, T.J Maxx , the mall, etc where you can get the some of same items or better brand new. This thrift store isn't any different in that aspect. I can say though that each thrift store offers some unique items and/ or antiques that you would not find in regular retail stores but the pricing is often at the expense of families on tight budgets who patronize these stores, hence the word thrift. Overall, this store is worth your taking out time to visit. The staff has been friendly and helpful.

Lots of good stuff if you know when to go and what color tags are on sale. Don't miss the stuff in the back.

Call before you go. Drove from Manhattan Beach and they were only taking clothing. Need to update website more frequently.

Unfortunately our family can no longer afford to shop here. It’s so upsetting to see the enormous price increases. A baby onesie at $15? That’s been used? A womens t shirt for $26? These prices are so unacceptable for a thrift store. A thrift store is supposed to be a store for the local community to shop at and I don’t see how they can continue with this. The racks are overfilled and it’s for obvious reasons. Saw multiple people in the store be upset over the prices and leave empty handed today. What about the person that’s looking for a button up to wear to a job interview but can’t afford to shop at a regular store? Now they’re having to pay $17 for one? What about the families that literally need to buy their children clothes but are having to pay $15 for a used and dirty baby onesie? This is so unacceptable.
