Since the area is a nicer area I've found new sketchers, name brand purses and many name brand clothing. My favorite thing I purchased was a whip cream dispenser. It's the best thing I've ever found at a thrift store. I had to purchase the c02 cartridges on Amazon. Those are a bit pricey but a box will last a long time. The people who work at this store have always been very friendly and it's obvious they enjoy the time they spend volunteering and helping their community.

Upon driving up you can't help but notice that their building is HUGE! It's as big as a Costco! Tons of trailers were docked getting filled up by the many volunteers. They even had a Amazon trailer at the loading/unloading dock. There were approximately 30+ volunteers. We all gathered at the picnic tables inside the warehouse. Coffee, Tea, and snacks were provided - nice touch. We all worked together to load many boxes of food that were sent on a rolling conveyor belt with volunteers all along it. I was a team of 2 that stacked the boxes on multiple pallets before a forklift driver whisked them away. It was so awesome to be apart of. If you ever have a chance to volunteer please do so.

I remember coming in one…read moreday when the line was incredibly long, but Ben handled it with such professionalism and grace. He quickly organized customers based on what they were there for, acknowledged everyone who walked in, and made sure we all knew they were working hard to help everyone as efficiently as possible. His calm, friendly attitude made a stressful situation feel so much smoother. I also love that this location has the self-service Amazon return kiosk. It makes returns incredibly quick and convenient, so even if there's a line at the counter, you can usually be in and out in just a few minutes. I highly recommend this location. A huge shout-out to Ben, he's one of the hardest working associates I've encountered, and his excellent customer service does not go unnoticed!

They offer memberships, as well host private events and various therapies that are held on site. It's a one stop shop. Their memberships can be covered by the Regional Center or funded through Self Determination program, but of course, you can pay of pocket. The owner Lindsay is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! This San Ramon location is their first location, but have since expanded to two more sites in Berkeley and Belmont. They also have tables for parents to have a break or work at which is very thoughtful. When I went also had a smaller tot area as well as an inclusive, larger space for all.

I found a sports bra top that I think will fit. I'm not sure as there wasn't a dressing room. That was a huge downer. If they had a dressing room I would have bought a lot more items. I found pair of shorts that appeared to be my size, but for $15 I didn't want to take the change of it not fitting. Prices were a little high in my option. At the same time they have a 30% off senior discount so that makes up for the high prices on Tuesday for those 55+. My parents qualify so I saved $3 on my sports bra as they paid for it. Yea for a useful gift. My mom gets a lot of her puzzles here. She's a fan of the 300-500 piece puzzles. Most puzzles are 1,000 pieces so sometimes it's slim picking, but she still finds enough to keep her coming back. My dad loves the tie selection and loves his $0.50 ties. I sticky to the closeting selection and I usually can find an article of clothing. The 30% off surely helps with my selections and it's such a treat for them to buy it for me. Thy have electronics, lamps, sewing machines, kitchen ware, furniture, clothing, and much much more. They also have a higher end selection behind glass. I've never shopped there as I'm looking for really great deals at a reasonable price. They may not have dressing rooms, but they do have a bathroom so that is a total perk.

A Le Suit was priced well over $100, along with other items. Like I'm sorry, since when did used become "luxury resale adjacent"? A few items were reasonable, but the majority felt like someone discovered a pricing gun and a dream. At that point, just say you're a boutique and stand in it. Whoever is pricing at this location either needs retraining...or a gentle reintroduction to what the word thrift actually means. A true disappointment.
