They should really make an effort to only place tags on the original tag of the clothing item instead of randomly throughout the garment, what a waste. And there is nothing you can do about it because all sales are final. So beware of buying any fabric good from the Salvation Army!

While the selection itself was alright, the sizes are not really together and you have to really search for the properly sized items. Overall, they have a lot to choose from. From clothing to furniture and all in between. The associates are also very nice and helpful.

If I could rate 0 stars I would. I called to see if they take commercial retail clothing racks and…read morethey said yes bring them by. I packed up a whole truck load of retail clothing racks after spending days moving my business to another location. I get there and I get an immediate attitude and said "we don't take bed frames" I said these aren't bed frames they are multiple racks worth $$$$ and he said hold on my boss wants to "look at them" I didn't call and pack up a whole truck worth of racks to just be looked at. That's why I called in the first place. She didn't want them because they had slight wear (not even rust) obviously they would have some wear. Everyone was rude and didn't even take in to account our time loading these when they said to bring them and they accept them. Honestly so disappointed and I definitely won't be donating there ever again. Which I feel is disappointing for them because I donate so much vintage/collectibles. Will be going to veterans from now on!

But, it is now a place to find great bargains for clothing, shoes, household goods, office items and so on. For adults and kids. It's so clean and organized inside. And super spacious! They have new deliveries weekly. And receive donations from the public as well. The staff is super friendly and helpful. And there are even secret deals you need to ask them about. IYKYK. If you don't, just ask. Bridge Thrift is not your typical business. They are very connected with other businesses and ministries that care for the less fortunate. It's good to know that deals I find here go far. This location is one of a handful of other Bridge Thrifts in the county and even LA.

Other than that, it's a great stop for anyone who loves thrifting. We'll definitely be back!

There was a good amount of variety, so it worked just as well for a short walk through as it would for a longer treasure hunt.

Their prices are insane for cheap, polyester, and sometimes even stained clothing! We're talking $10-$12 for a polyester top. Let us be reminded of the location, this is old Chula Vista, not a particularly booming area for business so the rent is not that crazy (I would know, I rented down the street). The clothes are donated for free, and yet the prices are unreasonably high. I really hope this place can get new management and turn this around. This used to be a staple thrift and now it's just a pass. Please do better.

Recently, I drove to the La Mesa store with a car full of donations during a very heavy rainstorm.

I explained that i was not parking, I am handicapped and offloading since it was pouring rain, but was still told no. I ended up leaving without donating or shopping.

The quality of the items is impressive, and the store is well organized, which makes browsing enjoyable. That said, the pricing feels more like a boutique than a thrift store. While I understand that proceeds go toward a good cause, I often leave empty‑handed because the prices are just too high for what I'd expect at a thrift. For me, part of the joy of thrifting is finding something wonderful and feeling like I scored a bargain -- not like I overpaid. If you don't mind paying a lot more, you'll likely find unique and quality pieces here. But if you're hunting for that classic thrift‑store bargain, be prepared that prices may not match the typical thrifting experience.
