They are genuinely kind, welcoming people who clearly care about the way they treat others and about the community they're part of. Jenny is incredibly community-minded and supportive of other local small businesses, and you can feel that same care in everything they've created at Blue Bare. The shop is full of unique, thoughtful finds, but it's the people behind it that really make the experience special. Small businesses like this are what give a community its personality and heart. We're lucky to have Blue Bare right here in Martinez, and I'm always happy to support businesses that support and uplift the people around them. Definitely a Martinez gem worth discovering and supporting!!!

I love coming downtown and seeing what is new in the area. A lot of these stores change store…read morefronts or move locations so it's cool to see where they end up. This store is located in more of a warehouse type and it merged spaces with another store. They had so many different items to choose from, I bribe from lock sources bd found sources outside of town. My partner bought a Martinez shirt from them and let me tell you, the fabric is so soft. My friend bought a cute hair comb she has been looking for a while. They make all their designed there and are solely owned by the artist. This isn't your boring chachki store, but somewhere you can actually buy quality made goods. They had everything from clothing, candles, Taylor swift items, jewelry and so much more. The place was clean, the family that owns it is super sweet and can answer any questions. The store didn't seem cramped and put together well. I'll definitely be back!

You can see that the staff are sorting in the back and many of the items here are high quality. There are some decent brands in the mix. Prices are overall reasonable, and they had some discounts going on. They seem to discount by color tags, and they actually take those items out and put them in a specific section so you're not hunting for those sales like many other thrift shops. There are three fitting rooms in the back that are covered with curtains. You can sign up for their membership with your contact to earn points on purchases and get notified for their sales, as well. Staff were also very friendly. Parking lot was decently sized, but if you come later, it may be a bit more challenging to find parking (some spots are designated for a nearby business and some are 15 minute only spots).
