Rick’s Picks

If you’ve checked out Rick’s Picks already you know he’s got some really cool finds. His staff is friendly, helpful and on top of all custom orders. My husband and I ordered a custom couch and Rick did not disappoint. His staff made this order easy and painless. Lots of great home décor and fun accents. All items fairly priced. His store front is a bit deceiving to what’s inside so I suggest next time you’re downtown Pleasanton you check him out.

I love Rick’s Picks. I live down the street and pop in often. My mom recently moved into a new place in town and we have spent lots of time picking out unique pieces at Rick’s. All of the staff is helpful and accommodating. Prices and selection are both great as well!

Picked up an end table this afternoon and the staff was very helpful and very kind. I’m happy with my purchase.

I went into Rick’s Picks for the first time since this summer and was SO happy with the way they rearranged the interior! The team did a great job of organizing the items into a meaningful way and really brought the place to life. Same amount of awesome one of a kind finds, but much more shopper friendly and greater spacial awareness. Love this place!

Watch out for bait and switch on furniture! Have happily shopped at Danville store for years, until the current moving sale. The furniture was 25% off, my husband and I were looking at a recliner but it was still priced very high for a floor model. The salesperson said I have a new one in a box in the back you can have, so I said ok. While I was paying in the front the salesperson took my husband to the back and loaded the used floor into my vehicle! Once we got home into the light, I found flaws in the floor model from people sitting on it in the store. I was thinking of getting a couch, too. Now I am happy I didn’t and will not being buying anymore furniture from them.

LOVE THIS STORE. They have everything and new stuff every time I go in. The staff is the best. I could do all my Christmas shopping there. Also The furniture is out of this world. GREAT PRICES AND REALLY GREAT SELECTION. Check it out!

A very cute shop that has an uncanny stock of items, it’s like going on a treasure hunt cuz you never know what you may find. Went today and was pleasantly surprised how tidy and organized the shop was. The woman behind the counter was very nice and helpful.
Go in with an open mind. Myfriend and I love this place and it’s on our adventure jaunt list of places to stop and see. Give Rick’s a shot, you’ll be happy!

This place gives you a bang for your buck! Items are very affordable and the staff are friendly and respectful! Did I mention that this is better than Tuesday Mornings!

Not sure what to make of this. I fear I have a certain disdain for places selling kitschy, cutesy stuff like this. There were some bargains to be had, but of course you get what you pay for.
The store is a real mix of stuff, with artsy things, furniture and other knick knacks.

I have been in this store at least 50 times. I recently made a purchase of a large piece of furniture. As I am on a tight budget I asked if they could go any lower on the price. I was given a little bit more off the already low price. I take all Unilocal reviews seriously and never disregard any negative reviews. That being said I have found the employees to be helpful and pretty dang nice. I can see how the store manager Ann could possibly hold her ground on some prices as everyone who comes into the store seems to want something for FREE! If you look at their website they do not hide the fact that many items are store display items and closeouts. I bought a scratch hiding pen from the hardware store across the street and my piece looks new. For the reviewer who says he put an expensive «dollar store» item on hold… well that is definitely a contradiction in terms. Also there has been several attempts at flower shops on Main street over the past several years and they have all gone out of business. This calls into question just how much of a «Pleasantionian» the other reviewer is! Ask about their rewards program and ask if they can call the Danville store if you need more of the items you are looking for. Ricks Picks stays because the last thing Main street needs is another mediocre restaurant!

I would not recommend coming here!
I found the staff to be rude and unhelpful. I asked them to save an expensive item for me, but when I came back later they had sold it. How unprofessional. The prices are really high for «dollar store quality» type items. The store is also very cluttered which makes things a little overwhelming.
If you have kids, this is a good place to let them run around. Just make sure that if they get buried by the clutter, you are able to find them yourself because the staff won’t help you.
Pleasantonians, my advice is to stop patronizing this store so we can get something better placed in its prime location, perhaps a nice flower shop?

So, I went in today to purchase couple of their night stands priced at $ 150 each (not very cheep, I mind you). Browsing through the store I’ve noticed a three cherub ornament/​fruit holder on a table in the back of the store where they keep their clearance items. It cut my eye and wanted to find out how much it costs. It showed only the retail price at about $ 68. I asked the girl how much and she said that actually the idem is not in clearance it actually just arrived and that is not discounted. I expressed how much I liked it (my mistake) and if she could find out the price. At this moment store manager Ann walks in from the back and she sais it’s $ 49. I instantly felt ripped off and realized that I should have not showed how much I liked the small fruit holder. I tried asking the girl if they would consider giving a discount and she looked at me and said that Ann would be the one to ask. So I proceeded to the front of the store where Ann was at this time to ask nicely for a little better price since I came in to purchase the night stands. Oh My God this woman acted like I was asking her to take me home and feed me. Her face turned red and although she still had a smile on her face (very creepy) raised her voice and try to come up with all kinds of excuses on how this idem can be bought for at least $ 80 to $ 85 somewhere else and that there is no way she can sell it for less then $ 49. I was appalled. My whole shopping experience turned shockingly disappointing and just wanted to leave the store without even purchasing the night stands. I had my 86 year old grandma with me and reminded me how much I liked the night stands and to try to ignore this appalling woman and go ahead and purchase the night stands, so as hard as it was I did. Loading the stands into my car I kept thinking what a horrible customer service and telling my self that I should call the store owner Rick and share my concern about Ann The Store Manager.

This store reminds me of Tuesday Morning stores. They have a bit of everything and the stock turns over quickly. I don’t shop often enough to know is the prices are reasonable although them seem reasonable. $ 5.95 for poultry shears seemed cheap to me.
I will stop in again to see what they have when I am in the area

I always find something I like @ Rick’s Picks ! & the staff is friendly and helpful :-)

Cutest little store ever! They have everything from candy to dog leashs, candles and kitchen ware. Came here looking for some candles and left with a whole bunch of random things. The place is cramped with stuff but it isn’t messy. I actually enjoy looking through things and finding something unexpected. They have a great selection of toys, and home goods. Love this place!

If you like a treasure hunt like I do this place is «da bomb»!
Great deals on everything you can imagine and unique boutique items too…
I get excieted to stop in cause Iknow I’m going to find awesome decorating items and also the basic needs. Glad your here in P. Town Ricks Picks! Keep up the great job!

This is my second visit to Rick’s. This time I outfitted my house with tons of Christmas décor at the most amazing prices. They had tons of ornaments all at under $ 5.00. My tree is looking great this year. I also picked up a beautiful pashmina scarf at $ 9.99 — they had a huge selection.
The store was a bit messy especially the holiday area but overall looked really nice compared to all the other big stores.
I also had a terrific sales person help me choose my scarf — so helpful!

Five stars for bing a mom and pop and keeping afloat in this recession!
You will never know what you’ll find here which is why I like this store. You do need some time to look at everything as other Unilocalers say. Rick works there often and he and his staff are friendly and helpful.
There are currently NO Toy stores downtown –what’s up with that? Ricks Picks has a toy isle that changes frequently and allows kids to look around and play. I often find random or old school toys here, and they cover most ages if you are looking for a gift.
The pet isle is interesting. I usually find a good deal on treats.
I rarely leave this store empty handed.

Upon close examination of the capacity of my (thought was at least) largest roasting pan versus the size of this years 23lb. T-​Giving turkey it was immediately apparent that an XXL sized pan was in order.
Was NOT going the disposable, tin pan route & didn’t feel like forking over $$$ on a high-​end roaster so while caught in one of those massive Main St. traffic delays spotted Ricks Picks & the little light bulb above my head went off.
End result, a massive Calphalon commercial grade, would be $ 125 retail price roasting pan for the cash only price of $ 45! SOLD!!! Lots of other weird/​cool/​eclectic stuff in their stock, gonna have to check them out again.

Just meh… the only thing I found I would buy were some unscenented candles.
Might be OK if you were looking for a low-​end gift… but please don’t buy me anthing from here!
Cards, maybe!
