Valley Thrift Store

"Valley thrift is not what it used to be. They have bad service and majority of the things that are sold our poor quality And overpriced Found some pots and pans. Lids are all missing so they can't sell it without a lid ridiculous. I believe they do that on purpose. Like I said poor quality And service!"

"I have found some cool pieces of jewelry for decent prices. But the clothes are overpriced and nothing too great and if you find something decent, it is ridiculously priced in the clothes department but you can find shoes, jewelry and bags."

"This shop is a ..... Well they get free clothes from people with good soul and they sell it for retail price. Is up to you to spend 100-200 dlls in second hand items. Drivers selection between good items and great items. Photo showing how they interchange good stuff before delivery to the shop with other thrift stores.. Stay away from this. It's super gross and expensive and some staff is very very mean, I saw twice a manager or owner yelling to an employee."

"Valley Thrift Store on Foothill Blvd in Azusa and Community Thrift Store on Arrow Highway in Covina are owned by the same business entity. These are both for-profit enterprises. Many people think their donations are going to charity. Unless one considers the many low income people who shop there as receiving "charity" by buying items from one of the two aforementioned stores by doing so, they are not "charity" thrift stores. Judging by the types of items on their sales floors compared to the items seen in their donation areas, they likely sell select items online or by the pallet to others who in turn sell the items online for their own profit. Many people may have no problem with this. However I want to inform those who would rather donate to a true charity organization that these two stores are not true registered charities. There are many other stores in LA county that are true charities. One way you can tell is that if the store charges sales tax, they are for-profit, not a charity. Charity stores are exempt by the state from having to charge sales tax. I've attached a couple of photos taken at Community Thrift and Foothill Thrift Store which I'm pretty sure they were forced or advised to post to inform the public that they are not a charity. They don't exactly make it easy for the public to see these signs. Though they are posted in a public place, indoor plants have been placed to partially obstruct view of the signs. I have been able to study the photos and this is what they say : "This is a privately owned retail outlet. We support charitable organizations by buying donated items from them for __ This is a for-profit store. We appreciate your patronage and hope to serve you well.""

"I love thrifting so I had to check out this location. It is organized by color so I really enjoyed that. They have plenty of women and men's clothing. However, it does get pretty packed and the aisles are very narrow so moving around is quite a challenge. I would suggest coming right when it opens when it's not too packed. Parking gets full quick so heads up."
