Solid 3 ok place. Limited shoes and books selection. Clothing were separated between mens and womens but not in sizing. Good fitting room space. No funky smell. I wasn’t followed around by staff/volunteers and found parking space fairly easy. Solid 3 ok place.

Not happy! Been donating every month, and it seems pick ups are getting worse. Call for a time frame, operate states with pass message, I have to call back hours later to be told a longer time. I was told 2−230p today almost 3 and no signs of them arriving. Be courteous and call! I spent almost all day waiting!!!

Just visited for the first time. I was very surprised store looks really clean and organized. They have all kinds of goods from home appliances, paintings, movies, vinyl records, electronics, clothing, knicknacks and more! Furniture is not as great as expected, but overall Great Prices, Outstanding customer service which is a pluss!

Love this store and employees but it does need more selection. I love purses and they only have one small rack. They should bring more purses in! Other than that there is always parking which is a plus!

Only been once, but I sure scored on that one visit. Always looking for pieces for my Steampunk outfits and this time I got a very cool black and white striped shirt and the coolest long coat that has a dark ruby red sheen to it. Coat was $ 5 and shirt was $ 3.50. Another 10% off for being a senior. ugh, lol. Big store, very clean, I will return many times I’m sure.

San Diego rescue Mission is a top notch organization. I’ve been supporting them with monetary donations over the past 20 years, but now that they’ve opened up a thrift store in Pt. Loma, I’m planning on dropping off some of our give-always here, too

This is a tough corner. Back in the olden days, it was once a Tower Records. It was closed down for a long time until a 3-Day Suit Broker came in and didn’t last long either. But finally, the Rescue Mission – which is a wonderful organization that also organizes the annual Sleepless in San Diego charity – has arrived and breathed new life into the dingy confines. It is quite the smart place to open a thrift store as Kobey’s Swap Meet is DIRECTLY across the street and there are plenty of homeless and wandering people around that could surely use the services of a good thrift store. Perhaps the Rescue Mission can do some outreach here as well? I stopped by today and was happy to see the bright and clean store. The exterior has been painted white and there seemed to be lots of activity. Donating and supporting the Rescue Mission is important because they accept NOFEDERAL, STATE or CITY monies as that would mean the Mission would not be allowed to use the name of God or mention the Bible in their work to salvage the lives of many in need of assistance. I had to deduct 1 UnilocalSTAR because the driveway and parking lot of the new Thrift Store is where all the day workers congregate to solicit customers of the Home Depot across the street. It can be hectic trying to get in and out of the parking lot, especially in the morning, when all the hopeful hire-ons are loitering.

Located in the old… Tower Records store across the street from the Sports Arena and ChickFilA. Great location for a thrift store! Salvation Army, Rock Thrift, and Goodwill all in walking distance. Parking is easy compared to Salvation Army. They just opened the doors and are still getting inventory inside. The joint is clean, bright with lots of room. Looking forward to adding the place to my thrift store rotation… Next time your down thrifting in Sports Arena area, make sure you come visit this place. Plus!!! What you buy at this thrift store goes to support the homeless in San Diego! Get some cool used gear and stuff and help your neighbor out! Can’t get better than that! I will be back! Welcome to the hood…
