This place is charming. I can't walk in there without finding some little treasure even when my only objective was to drop off a donation. It is curated with great care and displayed to grab attention. I have found many treasures there and it never disappoints, even if I don't find what I went there to find. read more

Just found this location in Simi Valley, where they sell and accept donations for a good cause. Their mission is to provide an avenue in a community to raise awareness and engage in the fight against the sexual exploitation of women and children by donating and/or purchasing donated goods. What a worthy cause. All of the workers there are volunteers and super friendly. They accept clothes but no electronics. Call to learn about what you can donate. read more

A volunteer run boutique second hand store, and it's the best! Prices very very low for high quality merchandise and clothing. Make great gifts too. Plus ALL proceeds go toward fighting child trafficking! They'll take your donations. read more

Great store! Very well organized and a wide variety of items. I found this place a few months ago with my friend and have loved coming back to shop. read more

Second story is hands down the absolute best thrift shop in Simi Valley! It has the best prices and is so thoughtfully put together, clean and organized. The store is run completely by volunteers allowing the profits to go to the source of need in ending sex trafficking (providing homes, mentors, and love for the children, women and men pulled from the industry). When you shop and donate at second story you are blessing and loving someone in need. read more

Supports a wonderful cause, the prices are always a bargain, and the staff are super friendly. Just an amazing place!

This place is amazing! Everyone is so lovely who works here and they have so much to offer! Expansive space with great clothes and home decor! I look forward to going in once a week to see if there are any new treasures. Pricing is on point too! And they have a ton of sales. You gotta check them out! read more

This is such a great shop!! It is clean, well organized and the people that work there are so helpful. I bought a massive amount of craft supplies, at an amazing price, and they could not have been more helpful. They even helped me to the car with all that I purchased. Thank you, ladies - keep up the great work. read more

Happy and helpful people. Easy drop offs/donations. Clear communication on what they can take and items they can't take. Thank you guys!

I really like the store and I go fairly often but I had a bit of disappointing experience with them yesterday, which is why I'm feeling the need to leave her a review. And retrospective should've given them five stars in the past, but unfortunately, I think people tend to feel the need to leave reviews more often for disappointing situations then positive situations. With that being said yesterday, I went into the store unaware of the closing time when I walked in a lady, was walking through the store and said 10 minutes until closing. I understand it's important to stick to store hours and everyone was just doing their job but within those 10 minutes there was about 20 people shopping through the store that were rushed into line and didn't get to purchase things they might've wanted to purchase. From a business owners point of view, I would not be rushing people out like that if it meant that it would actually bring in more income into my business. They were rushing to get everyone cashed out to the point where they were careless and forgot to give all of the items to one lady and I had to watch one of the clerks chase down her car in the parking lot. While waiting in line, they started vacuuming the entire store before everyone cashed out. Which I understand you have to get your business clean but to go up to my toes with your vacuum while I'm standing in line waiting to purchase items at your business was fairly rude. Normally everyone in the store is very helpful when I have questions and I had a question about a piece of jewelry while I was waiting in line and they said we can't have you look at the display case today you can come back tomorrow. I was about to purchase all of my belongings and just wanted to look at a watch in the display case yet they refused even though the store technically wasn't closed for another five minutes. Overall, I do love the store and I still will continue to recommend it, but we definitely not go near closing hours because the attitude of the employees seemed to change and they were irritated that people were still there. Disappointed at most in the business. read more

I thought I would try dropping off 3 full bags of clothes since I've heard so much about this thrift store, but when I dropped it off there were 6-7 people around that work there and not one thank you. I was disappointed to say the least. read more

Very cute and well organized little boutique shop. Seasonal items are usually up front near the registers. They almost always have some sort of promo, watch for the signs! There isn't a whole lot of clothing items to choose from, a small rack of children's and men's, and a few racks for women. You'll find all sorts of household knickknacks here too. read more

Loved this Thrift Shop! It was nice and clean and well organized. They had great treasures with great prices. Plus the ladies that work there were super nice and friendly! read more

One of the best thrift stores in Simi! Great selection of varied items from purses, shoes & clothing to housewares and vintage finds. All proceeds support victims of human trafficking too. Great infrared sauna and thrift store for children/babies in same plaza. My new happy place! read more

The best thrift store I have ever been to! Great selection of items at crazy low prices. Incredibly clean and stylish setups make it easy to find what you're looking for. Despite not getting paid for their time, all of the volunteers are so kind and helpful. To make this place even better - all of the money helps fight human trafficking. I wish there were more stores like Second Story. read more

See all

This is my all time favorite 2nd hand store. They are all amazing volunteers that work there. All of the proceeds go to helping child trafficking victims. They have such nice stuff. Beautiful women's clothing, purses and shoes. Gorgeous jewelry, home decor items and so much more. I've bought so many things from there for my kids and myself. They also have a men's section. They do sales all the time and their prices are a fraction of what you would pay at goodwill. Plus their proceeds actually go towards an amazing cause. They are closed sundays and mondays. Please go to Second Story in Simi Valley and find some great deals and help them give hope to trafficking victims read more

Absolutely love this place! I found so many beautiful things for my sister's garden bridal shower. Their prices are amazing and on top of that they have sales! Everything is always clean and they rotate things by season. Staff is friendly too. read more

A hidden gem in Simi Valley . Nice selection of clothes housewares and lots more .helpful Staff . Very reasonable prices . read more

while it was neat, organized and had a good selection for house goods and decor, i wouldn't call this the best thrift store in the area. their selection of clothing did not have much variety and was catered to a very specific group of people after walking in, the woman who seemed to be the owner stared at me and my boyfriend with a blank face and walked away. i wasn't upset at this too much but after seeing her be so friendly to other customers it was unsettling. at the register, i noticed she was very friendly to other customers but did not say a single word to me. i found one small cute purse for 7$ i was originally going to give two stars because i felt pretty unwelcome and a little uncomfortable and the reviews i read gave me such high hopes for this place but three stars because i do enjoy their story and purpose. read more

I am addicted to this wonderful boutique thrift shop and alltheir profits go to a heartbreaking problem I love to give gifts and this store enables me read more

My mom found this place this morning and called me so excited about it. She described her experience as, "I was walking by and saw this sign that said thrift store but I when I went inside it smelled so nice like a boutique. Everything was displayed so pretty and I was so confused. I asked the lady working and she told me it was a thrift store and the proceeds went to helping battered women. You need to come see!" So later in the day I visited and I was truly impressed. There is an overwhelming smell of something lovely and I love it. So much nicer than the "thrift store smell" yuck. When you walk in the first thing you see if complimentary coffee from a Kuerig. (Very nice.) Clothing is organized by size and displayed cleanly and neat. The baby section is made up very cute, displaying the toys in a way where the kids can also play while visiting. There's a rack in the back where everything was 25¢ and I found a cute little cotton dress for my Bebe. Twenty five cents! There was a lot of things to buy and everything was insanely cheap. Much cheaper than Goodwill. A small store, but plenty to offer. read more

This place is so nicely organized with great things to pick from. The prices are very reasonable. I was able to find a vintage medicine bottle, a wine glass and a brand new set of facial products all for less than $5. Also the staff is very nice and helpful. Be prepared to spend a lot of time looking at all of their amazing treasures. read more

It's always a delight shopping and donating there. The store has expanded with organized sections and attractive displays. I always find something to buy... no matter how small. Forever Found is a very worthwhile non-profit aiding those caught/stolen into "trafficking". read more

Friendly staff and great finds! I had the pleasure of meeting Jen and Bill both delightful people. Loved that Jen started singing to the background music, it brought an even happier vibe to the store. All staff are volunteers and all donations are made to prevent human trafficking.

This is the only place I would recommend donating anything you need to get rid of . This place has a cause for the donations they sell. I also bought a makeup vanity here for my wife. Small place but very nice things to buy and look at read more

I love everything about my visit to this place - I love the cause and that it is entirely run by volunteers to fight human trafficking! And I left with two boogie boards that cost me $5 each. My son found a stuffed elephant. It's worth the drive to Simi for me since the cause is so important to us. Additionally, I'll be donating items here instead of Goodwill! read more

I always choose to donate here as the proceeds go to such a great cause. The women that work here are all volunteers, which is extremely commendable. Everything is arranged so neatly, making it so much easier to shop. It truly does feel like you're shopping a quaint boutique on a small town Main Street. When I was 8 months pregnant with my daughter, I began frequenting thrift shops for clothes for her since we couldn't afford to buy new and Second Story had some of the best prices in town - especially if you catch one of their sale days! Love this store! read more

This is probably my favorite thrift shop and I've been to a lot! I always find great things here! The prices are great and the items are great quality. They can get very crowded so you may want to go at an off time if you are clothes shopping. They do have a fitting room. I always look forward to stopping in when I am in the area. read more

It's a great store with great prices and wonderful volunteers. And most of all it fights child trafficking.

A jewel!! THIS is what a thrift store should be like! Great stuff, great prices, great staff, and for an important thing- to help stop trafficking. I have shopped twice in a matter of days and have come out with wonderful stuff. Clean and organized! I can not emphasize enough on their awesome prices! Get on their emailing list by signing up on the clipboard at the register. I received an email about a 50% off sale on top of their already great prices for this week! A variety of things are there: clothes, shoes, dishwares, housewares, toys, purses, frames, CDs, DVDs, jewelry, decorative things. Not a ton of furniture but they do have some. There is a little dressing room in the back to try on clothes. The clothes were very well organized by type and size. Plenty of parking. They accept credit cards. There are refreshments when you enter. A sweet place!! read more

Love shopping at Second Story. They have a wide selection of household items, clothes, and accessories. The volunteers are all so kind and their cause to fight human trafficking is commendable!! read more

I absolutely love this store! Its not too far from my house and I enjoy coming in on saturdays. I enjoy the fact they email you (when you sign up in store) the sales of the week. They have a lot \good of clothes and other household stuff. They don't have much furniture. Great place only thing I wish is that one day of the week they stay open little later for those who get off at 5. It would be nice to Come in on a weekday. read more

What a great find. I was in the parking lot to visit another store and chanced upon this store. Very reasonably priced and went to town loading my car with some great goodies including paintings, dishes, jewelry! For sale are - kitchen ware, clothes, games, art decor, picture frames, bags, shoes to name a few! Above all the place is run by volunteers and all proceeds go to prevention, rescue and restoration of victims of child trafficking. Even more reason to shop here. Ill be back for more. read more
