This place is huge,…read morewith plenty of parking, although parking fees have gone up $10 on Saturdays and $20 on Sundays. From what I understand, they're open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends, and Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There are lots of food trucks and plenty of seating throughout the market. It can get pretty crowded at times, especially on Sundays, but overall it's manageable. The restrooms have always been clean whenever we've visited, and there are ATMs available on site. You can find almost anything here clothes, household items, snacks, and more making it a fun place to spend a few hours with family. There's also a large produce section with a bakery right in the center, which gets very busy but is worth checking out. Overall, it's a lively spot with plenty to see and do, making it a great place to spend time with family if you don't mind the crowds. The value is decent if you plan to spend a few hours browsing, grabbing a bite, or making some purchases, though the high weekend parking fees do bring it down. One thing to note: we've occasionally encountered teens and sometimes older men approaching people asking for money, claiming they need it for food. Later, we've seen them gathered in small groups. Just something to be aware of stay alert and mindful of your surroundings.

The red colored barn stands conspicuously on the east side of the freeway. Antique and flea market vendors would be inside the barn hawking their vintage treasures to bargain hunters. The Red Barn still stands, repainted and looking redder than ever. On a recent Sunday, I went there hoping to spend a day rummaging through pre-owned valuables and keepsakes. Unfortunately, the Red Barn have been turned into a full fledge carnival style out door market. No vintage or antiques in sight. Just new products e.g. knock-off sport apparels, jerseys, caps, sombreros, jeans, costume bling bling, Spanish pop CDs, fruits, vegetables and taquerias selling tacos, papas, tortas, chorizos and panaderias selling lots of pan. There were lots of Pacifico chelas (practically, almost everyone had a can in hand). There's even a bouncy area for kids to play while grown-ups sip on their cervazas. Sadly, I left disappointed within two hours after wasting $10 for parking.

I visited for the first time today, on the recommendation of friends…read more Most of the booths are selling "new" stuff - clothes, hats, leather goods, jewelry, kitchenware, toys, electronics, tools, etc. A lot of it is made in Mexico, so it has a pretty distinct vibe. There were just a handful of people selling "used" stuff, but that's OK, there's still a lot to see and some really good buys. There are also a few produce stands, so you can get some fresh, locally grown produce. There is a ton of "Mexican Street Food" - tortas, tostadas, quesadillas, elote, and baked good like conchas and pan dulce. They also have a bounce house for kids, and a mechanical bull! I spent a couple of hours there... bought a few things, had some great food, and chatted with people. It was a lot of fun!

The selection was small compared to similar outdoor markets, as was the event as a whole, with vendors selling jewelry, clothing, baskets, animal themed merchandise, and even Groot planters (at the Sassy Succulent Designs tent). Nothing too unique, but it was a carefree and positive atmosphere that beats your typical black friday shopping. Not much of a crowd, not much parking available (tiny lots were packed), not much music, and not much food on site (I only saw one food truck and one kettle corn stand)... Though a couple of the vendor tents were selling tasty desserts and treats to take home, and that alone made up for what seemed to be missing here. I got a cute baby size loaf of banana chocolate chip bread from the sweetest ladies at Lisa's Sweet Treats, and it was super delicious, I regret not getting more. That was the highlight of my visit!

I easily spend 2+ hours here. I absolutely love scavenging. I highly suggest you bring quarters to feed the meters or have the ParkMobile app downloaded. Wearing sunscreen during the summer is another good idea.

I attend maybe two or three times a year, whenever I'm looking for special, vintage treasures, or the occasional seasonal plants or succulents for my garden. You really can't beat the variety and prices here. This visit I found two gallon-sized plants for $5 each, a purple kale plant for $3, and 11 mini succulents for $1-2 each, plus a pretty glass bowl to hold an orchid plant. I spent nearly 2 hours here and only managed to walk through half of the flea market! It's fun to see people walking through the parking aisles sometimes pulling wagons or carts to hold their many purchases or cradling their new orchid plants. If you're hungry, there are food trucks near De Anza's Euphrat Museum. Come early for best selection. You'll definitely get your steps in here!

I was driving down from San Francisco to Southern California, and I had some clothes that I had been meaning to donate for months. I don't know anything about Salinas, but I assumed it was a big enough city to have a Goodwill, so I looked it up on Yelp and was soon making that right turn into the northern entrance to the parking lot. As I assumed, you can donate in the back of the building. There were already a couple of cars parked in the donation lane, but I only had a small bag, so I found a spot in the totally weird and slightly sus back of the parking lot and walked my bag toward the rear loading doors. It took a minute or two for one of the workers to come out of the store, but he was immediately friendly. He greeted me, told me I could leave my bag anywhere, and thanked me. And I was quickly off, back to my car. When leaving, I used the southern driveway. See, the parking lot surrounds the building, so you can enter and exit from either end (I think). There are parking spots across from the building as you drive along it, but there are many more way behind the building, where I parked. A dumpster was blocking some parking spots, and I had to maneuver to get around a parked semi-truck, which didn't fit in any spot. It was the middle of the day, so I wasn't really worried, but it's probably not the safest parking lot just because of how far away from the building and secluded it is. Main Street is pretty busy, and it's difficult to seen oncoming traffic because the building is in your way, so be very careful when exiting, on either side of the building. When I drove around looking for a place to eat, I saw that there was another Goodwill in Westridge Plaza, which is much more convenient to the 101 than this location is. Still, I'm glad my clothes will have new life, and I can't complain about the donation process here.

I have been going to thrift stores since I was a little girl. Due to my parent's financial…read moresituation. They were laborers, agriculture field workers, and buying the newest and latest clothing, shoes, and household goods at department stores was a luxury that they just could not afford. You would think I grew up resentful for not having the latest and trendiest clothing and shoes. Instead it made me appreciate the availability of thrift stores like Goodwill that would clothe me and my family on a budget. In fact, for the most part, I have fond memories of digging for treasures at thrift stores like Goodwill. Until this day I thrift, not only for the savings and nostalgia, but for the thrill of finding a unique item at a reasonable price. My favorite articles of clothing are thrifted from here! I get compliments in what I wear from here all the time! I even found a retro clock here that I have always wanted and sought after for years! I'm not exaggerating when I say that when I found it on the shelf in perfect condition, I was so happy, it nearly brought a tear to my eye! The bonus is shopping at Goodwill and thrift stores is good for the environment too! I have an income where I can afford the newest, trendiest clothes, from the nearby shopping mall, and especially from stores like Ross, Marshall's, TJ MAXX, etc., but where is the fun in "cookie cutter fashion"?! Where is the thrill of buying what everyone else has?! That just doesn't vibe with unique personalities and I want to convey through my clothes and home decor that I'm not "basic" and boring. I started visiting this Goodwill about four years ago. I got a renewed interest in Goodwill shortly after the beginning of the Covid pandemic. Probably because of the uncertainty of the time and the scarcity of items and places to shop at. I was pleasantly surprised of the variety of items, clothing, shoes, books, and household items, and accessories that I found here! There's literally something for everyone! It's difficult to find quality items at a thrift store and this one by far has an excellent selection! It is now in my regular rotation of thrift stores to visit. It has also became my favorite Goodwill in California, and I have been to many Goodwills in my home state of California! One of the biggest reasons why it is my favorite thrift store is because it is clean. I don't walk in and get that unpleasant, disgusting whiff of body odor, moth balls, and stale air that is a common lingering odor in thrift stores. The used clothes are generally gently used and don't have stains or rips. I'm not tripping over merchandise and dodging junk on the floors. I don't worry about needing a tetanus shot because a worker didn't care to clean up a broken item on the shelf or on the floor. Most items are reasonably priced, they have new items too, and the staff are friendly and helpful. They offer to wrap your fragile items with clean newspaper and tape before you have to ask! I think it is because of the outstanding job by the manager Alex and the qualified staff. The manager Alex makes it a point to greet customers, makes customers feel welcome and valued, and he is always on point in making sure that his employees keep everything tidy and clean. This place runs like " a well oiled machine"! They are not only offering goods but a pleasant atmosphere to shop in. The professionalism is outstanding! The customers at times can be pretty "ghetto", letting their kids run around and dropping fragile items, but the employees handle it all with grace and professionalism. The employees seem happy and get along with one another and that is a reflection of how well kept and good the management staff is. When everyone understands the expectation of a comfortable environment and workplace, the entire atmosphere and vibe is felt by the customers. I appreciate that Alex and his staff take pride in what they do. They seem to genuinely care about their job and for all the people walking through the door. There's always plenty of parking. The donation location is clearly set up, clean, and doesn't interfere with the flow of traffic. There are occasional homeless folks outside and inside the store but the Goodwill staff is keenly aware of them and makes sure that the customer's safety and needs are the priority. I hope that the employees are appreciated by corporate headquarters because there is something very special about this thrift store. They are the benchmark for all thrift stores and I hope they will be recognized for what they do.
