One Star - Very Disappointing Experience…read more Unfortunately, my family and I had a very unpleasant experience at Treasure House Mall, and we will not be returning. When we first entered the store, we were warmly greeted by a sweet elderly woman who welcomed us, held my daughter's tiny dog, and even encouraged us to explore downstairs. Based on that interaction, we believed having the small dog was not an issue. Shortly after, another staff member approached us. This staff member was very heavy set Hispanic man. He so very rudely told us we had to leave immediately because of the dog. His tone was smug, dismissive, and completely unprofessional, which was especially upsetting given that we had already been welcomed moments earlier. There was no polite explanation or attempt to resolve the situation--just an abrupt demand that we leave. This incident was even more frustrating because just a few days prior, the same employee told us we only had 15 minutes to shop when there was still over an hour left before closing. At this point, the repeated negative encounters with the same individual made us feel singled out and unwelcome. As Black customers who live in Barstow and have shopped here frequently, it's incredibly disappointing to feel treated this way. Whether intentional or not, the inconsistency and hostility in how we were handled came across as discriminatory and left a very bad impression. Treasure House Mall seriously needs to address this employee's behavior. Rudeness, inconsistency, and lack of professionalism drive loyal local customers away. Sadly, our family will no longer be supporting this business.

Nicely organized. Not much on sale by vendors. Friendly staff. Visit when in the area.read more

Which happens to be the Helendale Thrift Store. Anytime I am in the neighborhood I stop by at this quaint wonderful thrift store. I am a professional thrifter who buys mass inventory.

He didn't have to but he did, which made me want to come to this thrift store anytime I am in town. I felt respected and appreciated as a customer and enjoyed the pleasant smiles and stories from the staff. Fantastic deals at a great price.

Nothing is organized there is just stuff everywhere. Finally found something I would be interested in and saw a price tag of $9.99. I had my husband ask if this was correct as it was a plastic windmill for 4th of July that I had bought at the dollar tree the year before for $1.25. My husband found it very hard to interrupt as the man and woman had been talking loudly to each other since we walked in, not stopping even to greet is. The man turned to my husband and rudely for interrupting his conversation and says there is price tags on everything and its 50% off and continues his conversation. We put the item back and walked out. Will never return.
