Avenue Thrift benefiting Boys & Girls Club - Shop CA (Near Ventura)

5 /5 Elysia Guillen: A good spot for home decor and quality gems if you’re willing to dig. This is a true thrift store, not a curated boutique, but it’s well organized, which makes browsing easier. They often keep larger furniture pieces near the front entrance (accessed through the main door), and there’s a high-end designer rack worth checking. A few things to know before you go: don’t bring large bags or backpacks as you’ll be asked to check them in a locker outside, bring cash to avoid the credit card fee, keep an eye on the savings board, and remember it’s no tag, no sale, so check items before checkout. It can get busy during peak hours, and parking is street-only on a busy road, so timing matters. Donations: Drop-offs are at the gate on the right side of the store. They also offer donation pickup. Hours: 10 am–6 pm Closed: Sunday & Monday Solid thrift if you’re looking for decor, furniture, and the occasional great find without the boutique markup.
