A business practice here that I find moderately weird is that any electronics have all their wires split from the devices and sold separately. I know that because I found the wire that belonged to the piece I wanted to buy with the appropriate model and brand name, but one of the employees still insisted I had to pay full price for both the wire and the device. I just found that a bit weird and kinda scummy. So if you come here looking to buy anything electronic you just have to be ready for a $2 per wire upcharge minimum I guess Besides that selection isn't bad and prices that I looked at weren't bad, its just the wire thing that really turned me off read more

This used to be a great place to find gems and bargain finds.. now whoever is running this place is treating it like it's a boutique lol The prices don't reflect their merchandise whatsoever. They have a lot of SHEIN brand items marked over their brand new price. When I asked how they get their prices they said they just "put whatever they think it's worth" I hated to purchase this but I was in a pinch for time and need it for a theme. read more

Been coming here for years and love it. Don't always leave with something because it be like that sometimes haha but have found cool pieces of clothing or misc stuff countless times. I'd say it's pretty well organized for a thrift store, not too difficult to find things your size and Items are priced fairly in my opinion. Not my go to place if I'm looking for dining out dresses or nice coats but sometimes you can get lucky. Found a gorgeous wedding dress recently. Staff is kind and helpful as well. read more

They have good selections, always getting new stuff and they have sales on Wednesday where a bunch of items are marked down. Parking is busy but you can usually find a spot read more

I like this store. I am generally looking for inexpensive basics - cotton shirts and pants (some wool). Exercise and gardening clothes. Cheap plates and bowls for potlucks with unlikely returns. Also good for fabrics for sewing. They are huge! They have everything and the arrangement basically makes sense, but their definition of pajamas could be mine of exercise clothes. And vice-versa. You may find something you don't expect - fun gift wrapping paper, a great display basket. Staff are friendly and efficient. I'm sure they're overworked, but they will wrap things the way you want cheerfully. Prices are higher at thrift stores in the last decade, but this one is reasonable. They have bargain days - if you are over 55, go on Monday! read more

Pretty neat place, reasonable prices. Better than goodwill for price and you might find some cute gems here like I did will go again

I'm surprised to see so many favorable reviews. Guess my timing has been off. I've checked out this place twice for specific items and found nothing to purchase (the women's shoes were especially over-priced for their condition). Too bad for me, because I live nearby and would love to be able to save some dough by buying here. Guess I'll have to go to my former fave place elsewhere in the Valley. read more

AMAZING STAFF! I usually shop here once in a while & when I do I always find cute dresses for only $1 !! especially when it comes to my sons baby clothes everything so cute & also brand new! . read more

I was ISO of hawaiian items and score some cool treasures. The staff was very nice. I thought the store was a good size and very well organized. Things were not messy and thrown about. Very easy to shop and navigate the store. Picked up items for my business and family. They have special discounts in different days of the week. I will return on Tuesday for a 25% military discount. read more

Good prices, good selection, good people! I'm always finding something good everytime I go here

The ppl are friendly, reasonable prices and they have better stuff than goodwill. I went in for one thing and left with more.

By far my favorite thrift store ever! Why? Because I have found some rare gems at really low costs. You cant go wrong with a dress and sweatshirt for only $1! I like to send clothes to my friends down in Central America and their 2 for $1 and 50% a certain colored tag is so killer! Today I bought 11 items for $25!!! I This store has helped me build a wardrobe over time. I come often. It's always a hit or a miss. Somedays I don't find anything, sometimes a find a cute blouse, and other times I find a killer dress. The only reason why I don't give it 5 stars is because they don't have dressing rooms. I don't know why they haven't built them so when I go I tend to wear some Capri leggings and a tight tank top. It makes it possible to try one the clothes. I haven't bought any electronics or furniture because I just don't need them. I have gotten some unique mugs and decorations. They also have a decent collection of books and movies. Just take your time looking through everything. You'll never know what you'll find. Thank you to the staff that works endlessly! I always see you guys putting things back, patiently helping out elderly customers, and answering any questions. You guys rock! read more

YELP 100 REVIEW CHALLENGE 2016 --- 41/100 I've been thrifting lately and this was by far the worst place. We drove quite far just to be disspaointed. We live near another Value Center and wanted to check out a different branch. The place is small and with limited choices. They do not offer colored discounts daily. Only on the weekends. The worker was not very helpful when I asked if they had certain items. The only plus is that they take Credit/ Debit cards. (Minimum $5) Don't think I'll be back to this one. Major let down. read more

Worst thrift store I've ever been to. Mostly trash, nothing worth purchasing and I usually find SOMETHING at every thrift. Posting this as a reseller, maybe if you have kids and need low cost items this is the place for you. Sketchy area, didn't feel comfortable going inside, bars on the windows etc. They speak Spanish if you're looking for that also. read more

I love looking for stuff in this thrift store. I always leave with something I'm happy to find. Employees are helpful and kind.

One of the best thrifts in the valley good customer service, amazing items, and great prizes I've been coming here for years and I have never been disappointed read more

Very affordable thrift store. Very kind workers, and the store itself is organized and tidy.

This is actually one of my favorite thrift stores, and I'm lucky that it's so close to my house. Not only is it HUGE, but it's affordable, and it's got KILLER hours for a thift store. Most days are 9am to 9pm. Sometimes I really want to shop coming home from work, but most thrift stores close at 7pm. Only downside - no dressing room. But the prices are good enough that I buy the things that are difficult to try on (like pants) and just re-donate what doesn't fit. That said, it can be really crowded on the weekends. So come early or late on a weekday if you can. read more

This thrift store closed, then reopened. Since the reopening the prices have gotten really out of hand. They separate any brand name or nicer items and place them up front and then mark them at close to retail prices. I use to donate items to this store, however since noticing the abuse on prices , I just donate to Goodwill down the street. I hope they realize, they are losing customers for being greedy. Sad read more

So i came here to find some newborn baby clothes and i did they were 99 cents or less then 2 dollars most of the clothes looked brand new never used and only a few with stains but noticeable so i was able to put back and found a baby bath tub for 3 dollars ! The reason for 4 stars is because i did not like the staff they had no personalitys i will only come back for the quality of items not the staff read more

Plenty of parking, lots to see and most items in decent condition. Clothes were a little allover the place, but not too bad. Reasonable pricing. read more

I've been coming here for years because you can't beat the prices! The store is clean and there is always some new treasure to find. The prices are soo reasonable, especially compared to other thrift shops in the valley. read more

I love 33 cent Sunday's!!! Prices on weekdays are also pretty reasonable. I've searched and have gone to all the local thrift stores and have determined that this is for sure my favorite! Employees are also friendly and helpful! I go here at least once a week and have found great things! read more

Love this place! You must go often to get the good stuff. It was a good selection of glassware and you can be lucky enough to get your whole Halloween costume. The staff is friendly it's reasonably priced. read more

Pretty decent and inexpensive, got my favorite t-shirt off all time here and my first pair of Blublockers. Got a couple nice road bikes here once too. read more

Possibly the worst thrift shop in the valley. They don't have many t shirts for men. Most of the things I saw were school shirts or plain white tees read more

I come into this store often since it's nearby but I'm not sure why I keep coming back because their selection is horrid. I keep hoping maybe this time I'll find something worthwhile. The only thing I ever leave with is a sense of eternal disappointment. Most of the clothes is unwearable and in an advanced state of decay. The books are very disorganized and mostly range from the 70-80's. If you want used Directv cable boxes this is the place for you. read more

I am intrigued by the 33 cent Sunday concept. I had gone in looking for something specific and saw people looking for items with an orange sticker. I had to ask at the front what that was all about. It seems that every Sunday, the corporate office tells the store what color sticker will be sold at 33 cents. Even the employees don't know what color it will be until Sunday. I don't know the criteria for the color coding of the price tags but I would be interested if someone else figured that out. I plan to check it out tomorrow to see what color is on special. I also like the senior discount (over 55, I think) and the military discount (I need to find my DD214) . Some of the prices are set a little high, but I guess that is subjective. read more

I enjoy shopping here and finding cool stuff. I usually end up leaving with something and rarely get disappointed.

best thrift store i've ever been to!! i decided to give the store a try today because I'm a little bit of a thrift-a-holic, and i was amazed at the selection and pricing. i have kind of a vintage style, and normally i find two things at most at any one thrift store, such as goodwill. but today i hit the jackpot!! for the next MONTH I'm going to be looking like cher from clueless!! and the PRICING WAS UNBEATABLE. i found a vintage skirt suit type outfit (much like cher's), and IT WAS $9. for both pieces. i was crying on the floor. and their sweater selection is unbelievable. i must've gotten at least 10 sweaters and around 3 skirt suits today. and my total was under $50. i was qUaKiNg y'all. read more

I barely moved around the area, I just went inside to look around. I bought some game controllers that was really cheap and was in great conditions and when I got home it worked perfectly fine. I am probably going to keep on going this thrift store. read more

Great selection, reasonable prices. I came here for the first time today when shopping for a school theater fundraiser. I asked the cashier if I might be able to get a discount since I was buying two grocery carts full of toys and it was for a school fundraiser. He kindly called the store owner who offered to give me several toy items of my choice for free. Really very nice of them. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

It was a descent thrift store. Very organized. A lot of things were really worn out. The toy collection was pretty good. We did find a peppa pig car for only $0.99, which is an excellent find. The staff was really friendly. Not a very big selection on books. But I will return for the hidden gems read more

I've been coming here for a few weeks now and I like it. The staff are very friendly specially the young girl with short black hair who always smiles when I pay for my items. Overall the store is organize and the staff really tries very hard to make it as neat as possible even if some of the customers do not care where they leave their unwanted items. Some customers just takes the clothes off the hangers and just leave them anywhere they want. I also see the staff work hard to accommodate and help the elderly with their stuff. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars, the items behind the counter are not easily accessible and some clothes have some rips or stains on them but this is a thrift store so that's to be expected. I bought some clothes here that I had to throw out because of the rips and stains on them. Overall though I am happy with this store and I will keep coming back. read more

Neighborhood thrift store that has huge selections. Come often to find that treasure, costumes,house wares or knick knacks. I've also donated stuff. With only a few thrift stores in the north east valley, this is a good one. There are markdown specials, so it's good to buy now or it will be gone. No dressing room so be prepared to put over your clothing to try on. Heck this isn't Macy and most thrift stores does not have dressing rooms anyhow. Enjoy and happy shopping! read more

Love this store, best place to shop in Sylmar, wish they would go back to the bigger place

When i lived in California i would always shop at The Value Center, i would find some goodies here and there...good prices , Lot cheaper than The Goodwill. read more

Nice friendly staff, I visit this store often basically for the books, knick knacks

The selection of clothes is horrible. Everything is in bad condition. Would not recommend it!
