Plenty of Parking
First off, they have their own parking lot and it's a solid size for a small store. I never stress about finding a spot, which already puts them ahead. Easy in, easy out.
Small But Packed
It's definitely a small thrift shop, but they use their space. There are toys right out front on the porch area, which immediately caught our attention. It's mostly clothes inside, but you'll find board games, little knickknacks, and random gems mixed in.
The Toddler Hoop Score
We grabbed a small toddler basketball hoop for my nephew that was sitting out front. The paint looked a little sun-faded, but it was still cute and reasonably priced.
Pricing...Hit or Miss
Some things felt worth it. My sister found a couple board games at decent prices. But I almost bought a matching game for my son and realized it was close to the same price as Walmart. For only a dollar or two difference, I'd rather buy new and not worry about missing pieces.
The Pac-Man Moment
The real MVP? The Pac-Man machine in the corner. No quarters needed, just play. My son loved it. Honestly, I want to go back just for that and browse again. I'm not sure if it's for sale or just there for customers, but it was such a fun little surprise.
Neighborhood Vibes
It's a small neighborhood business in South LA, and I respect that. They focus on resale, reuse, and community, which I love supporting. It feels like a local spot trying to do something meaningful.
Customer Service
There was one woman working when we went. My sister interacted with her more than I did, but she said she was kind and helpful.
Final Take
It's small. Some deals are good, some are just okay. But it's local, it's community based, and my son had a blast with Pac-Man. read more
