This store is just okay. I rarely buy here because the prices are high and the goods don't move that quick.

Visiting Ventura to see longtime friends and what could be a more perfect day than thrifting. This store was our first choice due to Great selection, cleanliness and the abundant courtesy and friendliness of clerk Jackie. She made me laugh, her humor was infectious and next time I'm back in the area I will be back at SPARC for more goodies and a dose of Jackie's irrepressible humor. Thank you Jackie!

Nice, relaxing, organized store compared to some of the other chaotic stores nearby. I found the perfect item that I really needed: a big, transparent blender bottle to mix formula for the foster kittens I raise for the San Diego Humane Society.

This is a fantastic shop to visit. The store attendees are friendly, the items for sale are fairly priced, my patronage supports a great cause and there's always new stuff to find. Love it!

Excellent business! Great staff! Good cause! This place is pretty well organized and clean for a thrift shop. The building is interesting - perhaps an old theater prior to being a thrift store? Anyhow, the cashiers and staff are very kind and I believe are mostly volunteers. The proceeds mostly go to the Santa Paula Animal rescue. They seem to love pets - sell some pet stuff and they offer dogs small treats if it's ok to do so. The cashier was very sweet and wrapped up my cups very well so they didn't break on my walk! I forgot to take a nice pic inside the store but here's the cups and the bag she packed them in nicely. Thanks!

Stylish thrift store. A bit small. But some clothes are stylish and made of good fabric. I got a silk blouse from it which I really like.

I think it is for a good cause but it's slim pickins over here. If you find something decent, it is priced high. Go if you want to check it out. I didn't find much to say I'd go again. But kudos for the good cause.

I always find good things here. And you are helping others with your purchases. I love walking down Main Street Ventura.

I LOVE that this stores money goes to running a NO KILL shelter in SANTA PAULA and helps get these guys adopted out to loving families. Some of these animals have been abandoned by owners they trusted. Heartbreaking but SPARC finds them new forever homes

I felt very reluctant to post this but, after talking with my friends, I felt that it was my responsibility to share this. My wonderful friends recently adopted a beautiful doggo shortly after learning that the wife has Cancer and may possibly not be able to have children. While visiting this establishment, my friends were discussing with a couple of the ladies that work there, specifically one named Ophelia who is the manager, that they were going to be traveling soon and that they were looking into options for their new puppy as far as pet care, housing while they travel and so forth and this manager of your store decided to con them into giving their puppy over to the Second Chance Store (not a rescue or shelter) made them donate $200 of their own money and by saying SPARC could find a better home for their dog. I have spoken in depth with my friends and informed them that they should get in contact with a lawyer as they never filled out proper paperwork releasing the puppy over to a proper shelter or rescue which means your manager stole an animal from private owners. I find this to be absolutely unacceptable and, for a store that represents the Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center, a shocking way to run operations.

Great prices and lovely people running this store. Very accomodating and love knowing the funds go to help local animals.
