UPDATE: Special mention goes to Vanessa and Irma and the rest of the store crew. TO OTHER CUSTOMERS: Don't mess up the racks. Show some respect to the staff who work tirelessly to keep the racks and floor neat and clean! If you go to this store everyday like I do--you know what I mean! read more

This is one of my favorite local thrift stores! You're pretty much always bound to find a great deal and/or a cool item! This visit was no different. I came in looking for a dress and ended up finding a really cute one, plus it happened to be 25% off thanks to the tag color. Definitely a win! Lines can sometimes get a little long though, especially on a Saturday. read more

While shopping, my girlfriend found a pair of pants and a polo shirt that we wanted to buy, so we put them in our cart. We continued looking around and accidentally left our cart unattended for a little while. We completely understand that if a cart is left behind, staff may collect it and return the items to the racks. When we went back to look for our cart, we saw two employees putting our items away. We politely explained that the cart was ours and asked if we could have our items back. Instead of returning everything, one employee took the pants without even asking if we still wanted them. She set them aside because she was planning to buy them herself after her shift. At first we were confused and thought she was just holding them while sorting things out. So we were just standing and waiting there confused. Then we went and asked another employee and she told us that the girl was about to clock out and intended to purchase the pants herself. That was honestly shocking. As an employee, you should prioritize helping the customer before trying to buy an item the customer had already picked. We later spoke to the manager and explained the situation. While we were talking, the employee came over and immediately became defensive. She raised her voice and kept insisting that the pants were never in our cart and were just on the sales rack, which simply wasn't true. Instead of trying to resolve the situation professionally, she argued with us. To make things even worse, she looked at my girlfriend and said, "Do you really want these pants that badly?" That comment was completely unnecessary, disrespectful, and showed a terrible attitude toward customers. The manager seemed to understand what had happened, but he did not really solve anything. This review isn't really about losing a pair of thrift store pants. It's just that the situation was really unfair. No customer should have to argue with an employee who is trying to buy an item that the customer had already selected. Mind you, she was still wearing a store uniform when we found the pants back. I hope management takes this seriously. The employee's behavior was unprofessional from start to finish, and someone with that kind of attitude should not be representing the store. We don't know her name but the manager probably knows who we are talking about by reading this review. read more

Our family stopped by Red White & Blue Thrift Store after taking in a movie. We all found treasures at a low cost and enjoyed our selves. My husband found a vintage album from 1965, my son picked up an in-box Lego set, and I found some quality glassware. Check out was quick and easy. read more

Really nice clothes and frames at a reasonable price! Very organized! Some days they have sales depending on the color of the price tag.

Stopped by on a whim and found exactly what I wanted. The store was nice, the workers were nice and everything was organized.

Came back here for the first time since I was a kid. It truly brought back so much nostalgia. They've since then changed names and (I'm sure) owners. The selection was decent. Prices are kind of expensive for a thrift store. It was really busy people were fighting over parking spots. The cashier who helped us, named Melody, was a lovely lady who made my friend's and my evening. Bless her soul, I will be coming back soon to experience her extraordinary type of customer service again. read more

~ Many Options ~ It's super big inside! They always restock! Cheap/good pricing! The line can get pretty long on Sunday. They have a pretty great selection! read more

Community Thrift Store in Covina is a goldmine for anyone who loves a good treasure hunt. The space is surprisingly large, and everything is impressively well organized, which makes browsing feel a lot more enjoyable than your typical thrift dig. The quality of the items is consistently good, from clothing to home goods to the occasional "how did this end up here" find. It can get a little busy at times, especially on weekends, but the turnover is high enough that there's usually something new to discover. If you are patient and love the thrill of the hunt, this place is absolutely worth a stop. read more

Red White & Blue Thrift Store - Thrift Stores Near Me - Covina, California

I kind of want to gatekeep this thrift store, it was that good. But the truth is that it's already popular. The proof: the parking lot was full when we arrived in the afternoon and the store was brimming with shoppers looking for a good deal. And there will still ones to be had. Large variety of clothes, home goods, and accessories. Things are organized by type of item, color, and lastly size, making things easy to find. Items were of good quality and priced decently (unlike some other thrift stores that think to price like eBay, IYKYK). Wait at the registers was quick, and the staff was friendly. Also, they are regularly tidying the place up and adding new items throughout the day. Might be my favorite new thrift chain. read more

Disturbing, Improper Handling of Currency and Customer Treatment Today I visited this location with my mother, whom I rarely get to see. Spending time together is important to me, and one of her favorite activities is thrift shopping. Earlier that same day, we had an excellent experience at one of your sister locations--clean store, friendly staff, and outstanding customer service from the cashier Melody. Based on that positive experience, we decided to visit this location as well. Unfortunately, the experience here was profoundly disappointing and concerning. We entered the store approximately ten minutes before closing. While we were not greeted, I understood it was near closing time. However, the environment quickly became uncomfortable due to repeated and abrupt announcements such as, "You all have five minutes," followed by "Two minutes, you better be up here." The tone was unnecessarily aggressive and not consistent with respectful customer service standards. At checkout, the two cashiers--identified as Irma and Fritzy--were speaking among themselves, avoiding eye contact with customers, and making comments about "getting people out." It was also at this point that I realized the store operates on a cash-only basis. My total came to $14.93, and I tendered a $20 bill. This was an older bill that I keep for sentimental reasons, as it was the first tip I received when I opened my first business. I currently own two businesses and am in the process of opening a third, and I work with cash transactions daily. The cashier immediately stated that the bill was counterfeit and refused to return it, stating that the police would need to be called. I calmly explained that it was simply an older bill and requested that it be returned to me. At this point, proper protocol for suspected counterfeit currency was not followed. A counterfeit detection pen was used and did not indicate the bill was counterfeit. Despite this, hand sanitizer was poured directly onto the bill and aggressively rubbed, nearly tearing it, yet nothing transferred or supported the claim that the bill was fake. Despite the lack of evidence, I was told, "I don't trust it," and the bill continued to be withheld. The cashier then instructed the other employee to photograph the bill--after it had already been shown not to fail standard counterfeit checks. For clarity: * Employees are not law enforcement and do not have authority to confiscate U.S. currency without proof. * If a bill is suspected, best practice is to decline the transaction and return the currency--not retain it, photograph it, or publicly accuse the customer. * Withholding personal property without cause or proof may constitute improper detention of property. To de-escalate the situation, my brother paid for the purchase. The entire interaction was humiliating and deeply upsetting. I felt publicly accused, judged, and profiled in front of my family and other customers--over a $20 bill, after having already spent several hundred dollars at your stores earlier that same day. The implication that we would attempt fraud over such a small amount was insulting. When I later called the store to request the name of the manager on duty, I was initially refused that information. I was eventually told that Irma, the same individual involved in the incident, was the acting manager at the time--raising serious concerns about accountability and misuse of supervisory authority. This experience raises significant concerns regarding: * Improper handling of suspected counterfeit currency * Lack of de-escalation training * Potential customer profiling * Failure to follow respectful and lawful customer service protocols I left the store shaken, embarrassed, and saddened--not just for myself, but for others who may have been treated similarly. This situation could have been handled discreetly, professionally, and respectfully. Instead, it resulted in unnecessary humiliation. I hope this review prompts serious internal review and corrective action. No customer should ever leave a store feeling degraded or judged based on assumptions or appearance. read more

Please bring Jessica back to the boutique! Shipping there is not the same now that Luz and her are rarely there. I looked forward to shopping there because of their energy and how welcoming it felt to be there when they were in charge. The vibe feels off now. Luz and Jessica take ownership of that place! You can tell they love working there and costumers feel it. read more

This places stays busy! I don't know how I'm just discovering this gem of a spot but wow, the amount of people going in and out of this place is a true testament of how much great stuff can be found here. It was interesting too how many different types of people were there to shop. Anyway, they have a lot of big brands in terms of clothing and I really like how they organize all the clothes. You'll not only find customers weaving through the racks of clothes, the employees here are always on the move reorganizing and putting out new items! Definitely want to come back! read more

Make sure to check their colored tag discounts for the week. Credit card surcharge is 3% , use debit or cash to avoid the surcharge . All sales final / No returns or exchange . As I walk in the store my daughters say and I quote "it smells like 10 cans of bounce that a$$!". OMG! The front store smells like urine;( .. It's a big store , kids didn't find any deals . They do carry brand name merchandise, like Prada , LV etc. to be honest I couldn't tell if it's authentic so I didn't entertain the idea . read more

The past 2 years shopping at the discount store I have spent over $23,000. This does not include purchases from the larger store or your other locations. I have been a very loyal customer and always looked forward to shopping here. A big part of that experience was seeing Jessica. She made the store feel welcoming and familiar. Since she was transferred, the atmosphere hasn't felt the same. I know I'm not the only customer who feels this way. Having consistent, friendly staff makes a meaningful difference. I really hope she'll be transferred back. Also, they have recently added bars to the shopping carts to prevent them from being taken outside. I understand this may be due to theft concerns, but this change has created an inconvenience for customers who legitimately need to bring their purchases to their vehicles. As a result, I've found myself limiting how much I purchase. I understand that changes are inevitable, and I am giving four stars in the hope that future decisions will continue to consider and value loyal customers. read more

Great finds. Usually very busy. Prices are a bit high on some items. Staff that is organizing/cleaning are Rude! Register staff very friendly! read more

This place is huge and has a crazy good selection at actually affordable prices. Any era, any style, you're going to find something. Stock is constantly being put out, everything's organized, the staff are kind, and the store is clean. But in all honesty, the resellers ruin it. It's the same group of men in the back every time.They're loud, disruptive, using vulgar and obscene language -- including racist and sexual remarks, camping entire aisles, and hovering over the women restocking racks like vultures. It's uncomfortable to watch and makes the space feel tense and competitive instead of enjoyable. Amazing store, terrible atmosphere in the back because nothing is being done about them. If management addressed that issue, this place would easily be 5 stars. read more

I honestly really like coming here because they have a wide selection of different items like shoes, clothes, books, etc. Every time I've came, I've usually found something new to take home with me. Sometimes it's a bit busy so lots of people in the same aisle & in line to pay. It's a big thrift store compared to most which is what I like most about it. The staff are usually nice & do their job properly. The prices I think are fair but in some cases it might be overpriced for used items. read more

Bigs store with lots to shop for and nice workers like Irma at registers, too bad the prices are so high

I always find great stuff and the clothes is nice and at a great price!! The line went quick, hardly any wait time which was awesome. I got to the register and Gabriel helped me. He has such an amazing positive attitude. He was professional but not too stuffy. He smiled and asked about my day and we laughed and talked until the transaction was done. He gave me my receipt and wished me a great rest of my day. Workers like Gabriel are so nice to come across in the retail business. He made my shopping experience a really nice one. I give him a 17 out of a 10. read more

This used to be one of my favorite spots for quite some time but the prices are absolutely ridiculous these days. The items that are being sold are used and given to the business for free and the up charged prices and nothing close to reasonable. Thrifting is no longer what it used to be here. Most of the time I can find a good piece or two but I don't think the price is worth returning. The staff here is also very rude especially the stocking staff. As a previous supervisor to retail employees, guest connections are valuable. This place however does not see that. If you have trouble stocking during store hours, I suggest having staff stock before or after opening hours. Moving through racks the staff with shove you and shove the hangers you are near to put in an item. Now I understand this may be the way they are told to do things and in a quick manner but it definitely doesn't encourage people to return. I was also looking through racks and felt as if I was being watched and it was one of the cashiers staring, as I made eye contact with the lady she gave me the most unexpected dirty look. I don't usually write reviews such as this one but I am disappointed in many aspects of this place. read more

This is the best thrift store I've ever been too! I visit about every other week and NEVER leave emptyhanded. There is a huge selection of items, with the main store housing clothing, bags, jewelry, books, toys, trinkets, collectibles, and large furniture. There are two smaller stores on the side as well. One has electronics, sports equipment, and smaller furniture and the other has super discounted clearance clothing. Prices have gone up a little since Covid, but it is still fair and cheaper than Goodwill or buying new. Items are priced individually. Nicer & designer items can be priced higher, but most things range $1-8. The only annoyance is that they have recently changed the colors of the tags, some of which are very similar, making it hard to identify the color and therefore the price. There are individual men and women bathrooms with single stalls and a key. They're not the nicest, but they are usually clean. If you have big bags and backpacks you may be asked to put them in your car or behind the counter. There' is a security guard up front too. read more

There is so much stuff here! Everything is color-coordinated and nothing is by sizes. I can't sit there for hours and look for a size. I get that they were trying to be organized but color coordination is just not where it's at! Please organize by sizes and not color. Looking for anything is a complete nightmare here. It's essentially organized chaos to me. If I'm a certain size I want to go and look on a rack for that size. I think that would be better than just color coordination! I got a headache at 15 minutes and it wasn't even worth it read more
