I've lived super close to this thrift shop, but had never gone in until today. I regret not having come sooner because it's the best thrift store I've been to in years. They have a variety of name brand clothing, shoes, decor, sewing supplies, knitting supplies, and home decor. I came in 30 minutes before closing, but I was able to get some clothes and decorations. The staff are very kind and are doing their best to keep everyone safe during the pandemic. They have enforced social distancing in the store by putting stickers to keep your distance in line and reminder to keep your distance from others. The staff sanitizes the baskets that are used for putting your stuff in and have plastic partitions at the cash register. Current hours are 10AM-2PM Tuesday through Saturday. I love that they donate their proceeds to John Muir. I will definitely be coming back again.

Friendly helpful staff. Store is clean and so are the items. Well organized thrift store that sells everything from dishes, books, furniture, and clothing. Found some great items here and would definitely go again! Not open on Sundays.
