Rock Thrift Store

There are a lot of items to choose from. The store is very organized. They have very good deals with up to 50 percent off depending on the day. It’s a pretty big store and you can find new items every week. One thing to notice is that it’s very close to a highway entrance so you might miss it.
I’d come again, but one thing that was missing was some nice music.

I have donated to the Rock Thrift shop for the past 2 years. This year at the new facility. Here is the part I don’t get. For two years in a row I have had unfriendly and surly employees /​volunteers take my donation. I also go to Salvation Army and Goodwill and always have friendly people help unload that are truly grateful for the donation. At the Rock Thrift shop it as if I am putting them out. Like they would rather be anywhere else but there. Today the woman didn’t not even say thank you. its just hard to imagine why someone would work or volunteer if their heart is not into the job. It bothers me that I have to write this. I know they do good work in the city. But then again so does the Salvation Army and Goodwill.

I like this store, I always enjoy hunting for gems in thrift stores. They have good stuff and cheaper than most of the other stores in the area. Some sort of color tends to be on sale so some items are dirt cheap. Sometimes they have 50 cent days so I buy a ton of clothes, you can’t find jeans any cheaper. They basically are giving it away. The staff is helpful and friendly, although they seem incredibly understaffed. The young woman with the long hair is very nice. ALSO My sister bought some great pieces of furniture for her new house that saved her quite a bit of money. Avoided a IKEA trip so she was happy. :)

This place used to be one of me and my wifes favorites, then they moved and everything changed. The prices have skyrocketed, and the selection is non existent other than clothes and books. A thrift store usually means bargain prices. They are asking 10 dollars for used board games (which is basically their whole toy section). I dont know what happened to this place, at their old location we found all kinds of items for very good prices. I would not recommend this store for any thrifter. If you are looking for clothes you might want to check this place out, but if you are looking for a deal, try just about any other thrift store first.

They recently moved to a bigger place with better access but its more of the same: second rate (for a thrift store) items to pick through while mind numbing Christian music tries to convert you. I go there once in awhile to remember why I usually just drive by. In their defense they seem to be nice people and have a lot of furniture.

Very clean, well-​organized store. It has more of a consignment store feel than that of a thrift. Prices are fair and reasonable, I got a shirt for .95 cents and a bowl for .95 cents and a hat for 1.95.
Much better prices than the Goodwill a block down the road.
Only complaint is that I notice most thrifts in San Diego organize clothes by colors not size. It would be nice if by size, so you did not have to «hunt».

Was curious to check out what the Rock was up to at this new location. I was happy with the new locale and walked away with some great bargains!
Location: Because this is in a high-​traffic area (i.e. right before you enter the 8 or 5 freeways), I would recommend stopping by at non-​peak times if possible. My shopping partner-​in-​crime and I were lucky enough to be off work on a Monday, so we went around 10 AM, which was ideal.
Parking: We didn’t have as much parking luck as fellow Unilocaler Gail P. They have a small lot in front, but it is shared with the other businesses, so we had to circle around the block before we got a spot in the lot. If I remember correctly, the other parking on adjacent streets was limited by time restrictions.
Prices: When you first walk in, the clothes in this section seem a little pricier than other thrift stores. I think these are considered more of their «boutique» items. There is a whole other section of clothes on the right hand side of the store that are priced lower.
What kind of stuff do they have?: Clothes, furniture, bric a brac, purses, and more.
There is a dressing room if you want to try stuff on.

Everytime I go to this thrift store they’re rude and don’t ever say hi when you walk in the door. Always look at me but never give a greeting. Just generally focused on something else, they don’t understand what goes on in thrift stores. In this community people love coming to shop at their same thrift store and ur not going to make any regular customers if you’re not polite. think about it. I’m definitely not coming back for a while. maybe check out other thrift stores that might help you guys. customer service skills at this location are at the bottom. That’s not just one employee but several. Awesome location though. strange that a church run organization isn’t based on friendliness. Isn’t that the core value? strange, it should be first nature to you guys. step it up a notch

This is one of the cleanest, largest, and friendliest thrift stores I have ever been in. To God be glory! Be sure to check this one out!

Love this place. Has great prices and merchandise! Good parking. The only. thing is there is a very rude employee!!! No smile she has a bad attitude.

I was in San Diego for a wedding and had an extra day to walk around. With so much to do, I chose to go thrifting! My husband loves collecting Hawaiian shirts and this place was a gold mine. They were all under $ 4 and the person at the register (can’t remember her name) gave us a discount! She was so nice and we started a conversation. It didn’t feel rushed like you do in a lot of stores. She was interested in where we were from and what we were doing out there. Can’t wait to go back.

What was once formerly a candle store, then a motorcycle store, among other incarnations over the years, has now become a ROCK THRIFT STORE! Opening, appropriately enough on Feb. 14, 2015 (Valentine’s Day), this new location is so much roomier then the Scandia Plaza locale. There is parking galore and two elevated showrooms which feature stylish décor and some fine-​looking furniture.
I visited today and was very impressed with this Rosecrans store. You can find a wide variety of new and slightly used products & merchandise, including: Women’s Apparel, Men’s Apparel, Children’s Apparel, Appliances, Furniture, Boutique Items and Books. There is always a fresh supply of new items, as the Rock Church solicits donations to the Thrift stores on Sunday at the Launchpad drop-​off site at Liberty Station, behind the Rock Church.
My only caveat –and I hope I am wrong about this– is that the spot on Rosecrans is where people in a mad frenzy rush by on their way to the 5 North and 8 East freeway entrances. Unless you are specifically looking for this Rosecrans Thrift Store, it is important to know where you are going. Otherwise, you will end up on the freeway and driving past the store. I can tell you that it is on the VERY LAST BLOCK before you hit the freeway ramps.
I would hope that the Rock will do some advertising to alert thrift shoppers to the new retail shop. I also think that it would be great to have some kind of weekly or monthly Thrift Shop Tour, where a shuttle van would ferry people all around the Midway District to visit the many different but excellent stores here that offer so much great merchandise.
The new store is awesome! Go check it out.
