They pointed us straight to what we needed, and had smiles on their faces during checkout. They have separate men's and women's bathrooms.

Overall, they provided a good experience and I would definitely recommend stopping in if you need anything!

Like many travelers, we recently stayed in Groveland as a base of operations for our Yosemite…read moreadventures. Winter rains had really done a number on the roads in the greater area, and after several detours on backroads and byways, we found ourselves in sleepy little Groveland. After a couple of days at the park with the wifenkids, we decided to take a day and just mill around the small community of Groveland. A trip to the park, a meal and a couple of beers in what is touted as the oldest bar in California (fodder for another review), and some light window shopping pretty much covered the town. As we got ready to head back to our rented house, we spotted the Helping Hands Thrift Store; never one to pass up the opportunity to thumb through a second hand store, we walked in and were actually pleasantly surprised! A large selection of various clothing, bric-a-brac, novelties, cards, and other assorted stuff was there for the taking, severely marked down to next-to-nothing prices. After scoffing at a $45 Yosemite T-shirt at the park, I found a practically brand new Yosemite T-shirt--in my size-- for 50 cents! How do you not buy a 50 cent t-shirt??? I found three t-shirts in all, including two that were decidedly local and obscure... perfect for wearing to the gym, or to the pier for fishing, I suppose... and walked with all three for under $2. I did pass on the Wham! music video DVD, but I'm sure some lucky 80s junkie will find it and treasure it. Can't imagine when I'll be back to Groveland, but if I am, this thrift shop can COUNT on my business again :)

All were very helpful and cheerful.

The True Value is under new ownership and they have jacked up the prices exponentially, some as high as double. The gas up here is at least a $1.00 more than anywhere else. If you go through Big Oak Flat via the Groveland route to Yosemite, it's a dollar cheaper per gallon. Also, the staff at the Greeley Hill True Value is rude and "entitled". A community recycle bin that has been in their parking lot for years has now been locked up behind a cyclone gate and they will kick you off the property if you want to use it. Gee, that sounds like a good business plan for a local business that has limited customers - let's alienate ALL the locals and go belly-up. Not nice people.
