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.

We managed to score a Patagonia shirt and a Bass Pro Shops tee for a great price! We also found the exact same Adidas powerlifting shoes that were stolen from my husband's truck years ago. They were the first thing that caught our eye when we walked in. They ended up not fitting him comfortably but it felt like a meant to be moment lol. We do wish they had a fitting room. Other than that, it's a great stop for anyone who loves thrifting. We'll definitely be back!

They are open 7 days a week, and the parking lot is pretty big.

Only disappointment is that TRUE vintage clothes are basically non existent. It's all fast fashion and SHEIN clothes for the most part :'(

I come here a lot, living just a mile away, and more than 9 out of 10 times I walk out empty handed. At veterans around the corner I always find something good so its not that Im picky. Either they dont get good donations or someone inside is diverting them elsewhere. Much better luck at the Santee store. Something is wrong here, I wish I knew what.

So I'm not finding as much that is interesting to me in thrift stores here now. But occasonally I do. I've bought tools here, and recently saw some higher-end headphones in a cabinet for a reasonable price considering the high retail price. To the management: I wish more items in cabinets were placed so it was possible to see what they are without asking for assistance from the few employees. Or put a note on them with the basic info. The same for items behind the counter. We can't buy them if we can't see what they are.

Recently, I drove to the La Mesa store with a car full of donations during a very heavy rainstorm. I pulled up to the marked donation drop-off door but was told I could not park there and needed to move across the lot, get a cart, and bring everything in myself. 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. As a loyal supporter of FJV, I was very disappointed by the lack of understanding and outright rudness.

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.
