It's a decent size parking lot. Nick is a pretty cool dude and very welcoming. It feels like a home away from home. You might find something you weren't looking for. I found a nice Calvin Klein Jeans t-shirt for $10. I say that's a steal. Chill place to hang out and you might find a good deal. read more

I am very disturbed by the incident I witnessed at the Research Vintage Night Market last night. First time there and I saw a very young middle schooler being harassed and accused of stealing in such a very unprofessional, public manner by staff from this store, that makes me never want to come back or shop here again. These events have a hired security team, but it seems the staff were more intent on picking on this young person in public and kicking them out of the event, perhaps to make a point to others, than in investigating what appeared to be a ludicrous accusation (for example, the young person was being told to show them their bag, because clearly a t-shirt can easily fit into a tiny, hand-sized purse, please). No young person should be bullied in this manner to the point of tears. This is clearly en event geared at young people. No young person should be criminalized and humiliated like that; be better. read more

Really horrible "business"! I came in on a Thursday around 5 pm which is supposed to be open according to their business hours. First of all, How do you have a sign with business hours that you don't even go by. Second of all I try contacting them over the phone the have on their Instagram...NO ANSWER, phone was disconnected . 3rd of all they have a "website" on their instagram that isn't even up yet (doesn't exist). I drove all the way from Torrance for this inconvenience. Very upset, maybe showing up on "closed" days it'll be open. Since they seem to not follow their own business hours. GOOD LUCK... read more

I am extremely disappointed and appalled by the recent experience my child and her friends had at Research Vintage's Night Market! My child and her friends, who are middle schoolers, were accused of stealing by Nick and others, which is not only false but also deeply upsetting. First and foremost, my child is not a thief, and such baseless accusations are unacceptable. As a parent, I teach my child the values of honesty and integrity, and it is incredibly hurtful to see them wrongly accused. Instead of handling the situation discreetly and professionally, the staff chose to publicly accuse my child and her friends, causing embarrassment and distress. This kind of behavior is unprofessional and reflects poorly on the establishment. I urge Research Vintage to review its policies and training procedures regarding customer interactions and accusations. No customer, let alone a child, should be subjected to such treatment. I expect an apology from Research Vintage and assurance that steps will be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. Until then, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone!! I hope this review serves as a wake-up call for Research Vintage to reevaluate its practices and prioritize customer respect and dignity. read more

I joined the assistance league ( organization that runs this non profit store) right before Covid because the organizations mission to help the community and the members passion really inspired me. "White women" that work here tirelessly although they no longer live in the community really inspired me. I have read some of the few reviews that claim racism and yet never once have observed this type of service. The prices are the lowest of any thrift store in the city.

It's not a big store so there isn't that much but it's a decent size store! There's clothes, stuffed animals, kitchen supplies and more! When I went store was a bit empty from supplies but I believe they just need a restock and it'll be all good! I loved the ladies they were mostly old sweet granny's and I felt so comfortable and safe even one said "oo dear this is a great choice of selection!" Like I love you maam. Also I recommend to take off the hangers if you see an old lady at the register. She was struggling a bit and it's just to make their life a little easier. Lastly! Great prices for a jacket(8 dollars) And mostly shirts (4-5) dollars it came out to 35 bucks for everything!! Really affordable!! Also some stuff may have numbers like "400" or "500" it's really not they just forget to place the dot to make it 4.00 or 5.00. I recommend if you just want to do a Quick Look around! I loved this place and I would totally come back(and it smelled nice)!!!

Prices are a bit more than expected but some days they have specials. For this week, all items with pink & orange tags are 50% off. I like checking things out once in a great while for cheaper items like Knick knacks for my crafts:baskets, vases, mugs to use as a pot etc. One time I gathered items to fashion an Ugly Sweater for our Christmas get together. Additionally, they accept donations, too. Over the years I've had to let go items to give them a second chance of being useful to someone else. There a good amount of dedicated parking both for the donation drop off & the shop itself. I wouldn't be surprised if my parents have inadvertently bought some stuff I've donated coz they're here quite often picking up more junk they don't need (like 20 pairs of reading glasses. LOL.
