I always like supporting small business and this one is local to my stomping grounds in South Bay,…read moretoo. I came across them at a hotel in the area that carry local brands in their store. I scored the v-neck pullover that feels like butter. Seriously, it's really soft and works well for those evenings at the beach, where a hoodie is too much. Even their customer service is good - I had a question about care and they responded on a weekend (and it was a real person). I just ordered some shorts and a t-shirt and will now make Fundamental Coast part of my fashion rotation (ha!). Good, quality, local, small business with good customer service. I love that. Get yourself some now.

I've been a customer at this store for about two years now, and I wanted to share my recent…read moreexperiences that really stand out to me. Over the past year, l've noticed a big improvement in how things are run, and I truly think the new store manager deserves credit for that. In previous years, when I brought in clothes to sell, my experiences with some of the buyers felt very unprofessional, in fact I had multiple bad experiences with one of the female buyers that I notice still works there. She was very rude and condescending and now when I come in to sell I specifically don't want her to attend me. However, this year has been a completely different story. The newer buyers seem much better trained, more organized, respectful, and clear in how they take care of their customers. The whole process feels smoother and more customer-focused now, which makes a huge difference. In fact, today I had a question about the pricing of some of my items and the new store manager was very helpful and I left feeling very happy! Because of these positive changes, I actually look forward to bringing items in again, and I feel more confident in the process when working with the newer staff. Overall, I'm glad to see the progress and hope it continues in this direction. I have also recommended this location to my family and friends and they love the store!

The good: I love curated thrift shops like this because the…read moreclothes are already preselected for you and you don't have to dig as deep as you would in places like Goodwill (though Goodwill prices are definitely cheaper). So, there are definitely trendier items here and clothes are organized based on different trends as well (Y2K, designer, vintage, etc). I like the openness and brightness of the store. It resembles its other location in LA. I like that the racks aren't overcrowded with too many items so you can actually slide the coat hangers and look at the items. I got 2 jackets and culotte pants from here. Each were $12.99. The store was very nicely organized and even had an armchair to lounge on. The shoes were in good condition. The bad: I saw several tops with holes, snags or frayed fabric. They don't have healthcare worker discounts like the thrift shop across the street has. The interesting: You can bring in 5 items at a time in the fitting room. One of the workers at the register was on her phone a lot but perhaps she was looking up values/prices of the clothes she was labeling? They do buy clothes here.

I took a friend who was in town visiting and she even noted (without my warning) she felt like she was being watched. A few *Important* notes for the ladies of Grizzzly: 1. I'm a local and I completely support local businesses! 2. I have NEVER shoplifted and I have no intentions of doing so either! 3. I've been in your store over a dozen times. You think by now, you would recognize me! Please get it together because I really, really, really love your shop!

I went into Alo Yoga today, and for the most part, my shopping experience was pleasant... until I…read moregot to checkout. Now this is a pretty expensive store for yoga gear, so I walked in expecting a certain level of professionalism and a pleasant experience from start to finish. The cashier, though, had that kind of energy where she was both rude and nice at the same time--if that even makes sense. It was like, polite on the surface, but underneath it felt like, "Ugh... really?" I asked a few simple questions and she seemed a bit annoyed, and when I asked for tissue paper, she gave it to me--but the way she put it in the bag? You could feel the attitude behind it. It's funny how one small interaction at the end can shift the whole experience. When you're paying premium prices, you expect a premium experience--and that part just didn't match.

This is more of a retro vintage store and what makes this place different is that they don't just collect donations, the owner actually hits the road sometimes and brings back really cool finds from other areas. There are a ton of really stylish, funky, colorful artsy pieces to bring flair to your life or you! There are tons of goodies to help you communicate your vibe! I love stepping into the store getting lost in the retro gems mixed with the nostalgic inner child funtastic finds! They also had some sunny yard artwork outside! I can't wait to go back!

This is such a fun shop with so many unique and interesting items -- I truly enjoyed browsing and…read morehad an armful of pieces I was excited to purchase. Unfortunately, the checkout experience left me feeling disappointed. A couple prices being adjusted on the spot is understandable, but having tags removed and being quoted significantly higher prices felt uncomfortable and unexpected. One used purse was priced close to (or above) what I could purchase it for new at a regular retail store, and it wasn't a vintage item. It genuinely hurt to leave the items behind because I loved what I found. I just couldn't move forward with pricing that felt inconsistent. I hope the shop can work toward more transparent pricing, as it really is a lovely space with so much potential.
