Out of the Closet Thrift Store

THIS IS THE PLACE IF you’re Looking for antiques .I recently helped a friend THAT WAS looking for a couch and sure enough she found one light blue in perfect condition only $ 95. You need to come here almost every day if you’re looking for a piece of good quality furniture.
Now for those that are complaining about this place well it’s not Neiman’s Marcus. If you want something new then go to regular store.
THE STAFF IS SUPER FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL.
Let me know if you find something amazing share your story

I am from Brooklyn, so I am just visiting…
Ok-​there is a bit of a smell. The staff was incredible nice.
I think that $ 7 for a pair of German leather shoes, $ 5 for a cute silk designer top and $ 1 for a long cotton tunic is good.
No vintage-​but eBay has killed discovering amazing vintage in a thrift.
Also free condoms!!!

I made a visit to this store few days ago and it was awesome! The staffs were super kind and helpful. Love the fact that they have random 30%, 50%, and one dollar deals! People have been saying that this place smells bad. Honestly, all the thrift stores have certain unique smell. it’s not freaking bad to the point you want to throw up tho… So people have to relax lol it’s not that bad! Worth making a visit!

No, just no. I’m like the least high maintenance person ever, but this thrift store is not cute. First of all, it smells awful inside. second, the prices are so unreasonable for the quality and age of the items. I can name at least 5 other thrift stores in that area that carry cheaper and niftier items. The furniture section was super sparse, containing MAYBE 15 pieces.
Also, they had like 3 parking spots in the back that were occupied so I was forced to park in the 99 cent store parking lot where a lovely woman, high on crystal methamphetamine, asked me if I was Paul McCartney. I can’t be bothered with this place. #Next

The service was horrible. The two times I went up to lady that seems to be the manager, she gave me a disgusted, don’t wanna deal with you look.
I ended up buying a really nice drawer for $ 20 and went to the back to have it put in the car. There were some workers moving new arrivals into the store and I asked one of them for help. Telling and describing to him what I am picking up. He didn’t even bother hearing me out and pointed me to the same rude lady for help AND HE INSULTED ME. He said out loud that he «doesn’t speak silent.» Well I am sorry for having a voice problem, but he did hear me talk. He just didn’t want to bother.
The only good thing about this store is the nice young man that helped me in the end. He was smiling, and very kind. He gets a 5 star!

I think this Out of the Closet location has good stuff hidden away. I bought my used MK bag for $ 30 in nearly perfect condition (the metal MK was scratched).
The workers are nice and helpful. It’s a really laid back store but it’s one of the better Out of the Closet stores I’ve been to because I always end up buying something when I’m there.

I hate to write this review because I want to keep this place all to myself but the 2 star rating bugs me. this place opened up about two years ago and I drove by it every other day cause my son plays ball at the park nearby, but I never stopped in cause I figured it was one of those pretentious thrift shops that charge super high prices for everything. One day to kill time I went in and OMG! You can’t keep away from it now. I have found some of most amazing pieces here sometimes I come out with entire outfits from the $ 1.00 racks. YES $ 1.00!!! I couldn’t believe it either. Every sunday they rotate the color of the tags on sale and there’s a $ 1.00 tag color a 50% off tag and a 30% off tag.
No hidden rules no from this time to this time nonsense its all day every day and they change every week (Sundays) And they don’t only put the crap On the dollar racks you can find suits, coats, dresses anything for 1.00 and yes they have some new items in the first racks priced a bit higher but they are all new items and even like that they’re not that expensive.
I look forward to coming here to see what new fabulous thing I will get a great deal on and the employees are all super sweet!

There are a few goodies in between, but you have to look. I just thought I’d give it a go, because it was next to the 99 Cent store I frequent.
There were some nice couches, should you be needing one.
The prices are a bit high for thrift stores, but I am sure it benefits some organization, so enter at your own risk!
If anything, it is WORTH A PEEK!

Has the smallest selection I have ever seen in a thrift store. Like seriously, the women’s section is made up of two circle racks of clothing. The fitting rooms have clown mirrors YES LIKE THE ONES IN HAUNTED HOUSES IN MOVIES and have medicinal curtains I dont even know
the workers are really nice though so i feel bad for leaving such a bad rating 5 stars for the workers

This place is terrible. I used to come in and I refuse anymore. I also will tell other people to not shop here. They never have a good selection, the staff is rude and there are always homeless people walking around. I walked in with a covered coffee and was essentially thrown out by employee Adrian who singled me out among homeless people and other people to tell me I cant drink coffee in the store. I think this place has a lot more to worry about than someone who regularly shops here getting thrown out for drinking a coffee. Well done ADRIAN… you probably did me a favor as you will never see me or anyone I know shopping here again. I manage a retail store and am blown away at how bad Adrian is at customer service. But honestly this place doesn’t really have too much to offer. say hi to Adrian when u do visit this location.

Since the one on Fair Oaks in South Pasadena is closed I go to this one instead. Out of the Closet is a clever name, since it’s mission is to help the LGBT community with affiliated with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Out of the Closet also offers free and confidential HIV testing.
I go to Out of the Closet mainly to help clean out of my own closet. I suspect that I have some where in me the «hoarder gene», so I have to make a conscious effort to regularly limit my worldly possessions… clothing included. You have to make up rules, like clothes that haven’t worn for a couple years or just don’t fit anymore now belong to someone else. Another upside to donating is that you can get a receipt for tax purposes! If you have two or more large items like furniture, you can schedule a pick up with Out of The Closet by using this form:
The downside to coming here is that you might want to look around the store and end up leaving with some useless Tchotchke or knick-​knack, defeating the purpose of your visit of unloading crap. :(

Meh.
None of the items in the front window are available for sale.
A few items I found were damaged.
The dressing rooms are essentially a small curtained area that could blow open with a strong breeze leaving you exposed in your undies to the rest of the store. Not that it happened, but the possibility made me uncomfortable.

Selection isn’t the best I’ve seen, customer service is a little non-​existent, but I found some great finds and I like the whole «support the LGBTQ/​aids testing» thing they have. Plus, condoms! Free condoms are always good.
I’ll come back here to look around, not for clothes, but any other nick-​nacks they have lying around.

Looking for deals but i really didn’t find anything worth buying here yesterday. I felt the prices were too high on some of the items and i didn’t like the sizes they were too big for me on the shorts which i went in looking for. I guess i would have to go in and try them on another day since they do seem to carry a lot of items in many designers that i wanted in jeans and other shirts and dresses that were nice. They are near to PCC right on the street of Colorado so there is plenty of street parking and parking in the rear of the store also for free. This is one of those hit and miss thrift shops you never know when you might find something nice that you will like at a really good price so i thought it is worth coming back again.

We were on a quest to find ugly X-​Mas sweaters but instead I found a pair of Level 99 Black Jeans for $ 5.00! Score!

It’s December 2, and the first person to wish me a Merry Christmas this year is the clerk at Out of the Closet. Not just me, but everyone in the store. She shouted loud, telling us about the sales, the closing time, and even wished us a Merry Christmas reminding us to «tell the ones we love that we love them, because we never know what tomorrow brings.» Sounds weird, but it was heartfelt and truly awesome. For the people that work there, I give them five stars.
The store is organized and everything is spaced out well, but there wasn’t too much to pick from with the clothing. Since a lot of us go to thrift stores for that, I have to dock them some points. CDs and VHS Tapes they had a lot of with some furniture and glassware for sale around the store. I left with a couple of movies.
Being reminded that love is what the world is about while looking through $ 1 t-​shirts, I’m glad the moment did not pass me by.

Out of the Closet is definitely NOT out of the world!
The selection isn’t that great… maybe because it’s right next to PCC so good stuff gets snatched ASAP but, there are better thriftstores around the area (like the Salvation Army in Pasadena). The store is well organized though, very clean and things are easy to find. The staff is friendly although selective with who they want to interactive with. They have parking in the front and on the side… but most importantly, behind! I love that all purchases are for a good cause… will be donating alot of clothes here from now on!
If you’re looking for random clothes or even household items, Out of the Closet is okay. But if you want to find that great vintage purse… better head to Crossroads.

The great thing about this OUT OF THE CLOSET… it’s next to the 99 Cents Only store. LOVE IT.
It’s NOT vintage but it has some clothes that can pretend to be vintage — or at least 70s — 90s era.
I found a Star Trek Next Generation uniform there… but it was too big for me. Sadness.
They have some stuff for Halloween costumes. I go to 99 cents only to pick up some items and if I can’t find it at 99 Cents, I go to Out of the Closet.
You would find some good finds and the reason I like thie store is because the proceeds go to HIV testing for people. I think it’s definitely a good place to go.
Overall… clean store and parking available and if it’s full, go to the 99 cents store only parking.

Dear Out of the Closet Thrift Store,
I wanted to like you, I really did. I like thrift stores in general and thought you were unique. And, I appreciate your commitment to AIDS testing. But, as a thrift store, you have no selection. I visited you several times, even months apart, as a last ditch effort to see you had changed. But, you didn’t. So, sadly, we must part. Your arch-​nemesis Salvation Army is much more suited to my needs as a consumer.
Sadly,
Heather

After my visit to that high end Asian antique dealer I decided my son is not too good for thrift shops.
I came in to look for a desk chair. The didn’t have one.
What really bothered me was there was a group of people sittling on the sofa and socializing like it was their livingroom. I didn’t even want to head in that direction. I don’t know if they do this often but they should not be allow to do that if they want to sell anything.
5 stars for having free condoms through some Aids program. I was going to grab a couple and put them in my son’s new room but if I am going to do that I should make sure they are good ones.
