R Second Chance

I read all the raving reviews here on Unilocal and decided to try it out. Unfortunately, I was kinda disappointed. I just felt like certain clothing items were way overpriced for the quality. They did have cute little nic nacs and the owner/​cashier was nice.
I understand when thrifting items come and go and that I won’t always be able to find deals. I just wish this place was a little bigger and organized a little better. I will most likely be back to give it another shot hopefully the pricing and deals that everyone mentioned previous reviews will be available then.

Went there once high end clothing. Very wonderful experience. Will be back!!! Clothing is a little expensive but your paying for quality things. Staff is friendly and helpful.

I have taken a few friends to this cute little store and we have never walked out with out a bag in hand.
There is a great verity of things cloths are very organized by colors and separated from the children’s. The place is cute and has a lot of stuff.
I have seen another post that the prices are high?
Not sure I understand because the last time I went to goodwill and thrift town I didn’t buy anything.
Plus those store are not even on the same level as this store. This is a family owned little business and goodwill and thrift town are huge corporations. Both buying goods by the trillions and can give better pricing and they don’t.
Goodwill has been around for many years, and have 20 stores in the area… They should never be compared to a mom and pop store, ever.
Some many not know that this little store donates to weave and loaves and fishes! Did you know that they have sales and always everyday give discounts to seniors and military personnel? Did you know when you walk in it does not smell of urine?
Shop the big stores but you won’t get the service you get here!
I don’t know the owner and I am not an employee of the store. Just another mom and pop store owner.

One of the wonderful things about thrift shopping is finding some really amazing hidden treasures. And I have been to my share of thrift stores both in the Sacramento area and beyond. Which takes me to a great find in «R Second Chance». Conveniently located on the corner of Broadway and 59^th St. in the Tahoe Park neighborhood, «R Second Chance» is a great addition to this area of Sacramento.
I had come here without even expecting to find this place. And 99% of the time that I’m looking for a particular business, I usually always find it on the Unilocal app prior to going to a place. So this was definitely a surprise in many ways. The business itself was on a major street but you can almost pass it without even realizing it. Parking can be a little on the cramped side but nothing too overwhelming since you can also park on 59^th St.
There are two separate entrances to this place under the same building. One is designated exclusively for kids clothes and merchandise while the other is a traditional thrift store which is the one I was in. Once entering, its actually spacious to see how far back the building goes. In the front, you will find many glass fixtures (which my fiancée picked up 3 that were in pristine condition). There is also a substantial amount of dishes, flatware, cups, housewares, jewelry, picture frames, furniture, and books. In fact, many of the books were in such excellent condition, many of them looked as if they were brand new.
However, what really had me sold on «R Second Chance» was the clothes and shoes. In fact, many of the clothing (both mens & womens) were of designer brand name labels. I was able to find a «Paper, Denim & Cloth» plaid shirt (which normally retails for well over $ 100) for only $ 2.19! I was even able to spot other major brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein, Express, J. Crew, Lacoste, and Armani Exchange, all at very reasonable prices. I am guessing the womens clothes offer much of the same types of major labels.
What was interesting is that «R Second Chance» had only one dressing room. What made it even more interesting is that the dressing room is shared with the restroom! I’ve never seen that in any store in my life so I guess you could do your business and try their clothes on all in the same room! But it is set up properly as there are hooks to hang the clothes you’re trying on as well as a mirror and nice little carpeted area.
Overall, «R Second Chance» was a great find. The service here was attentive and friendly while it didn’t have the musty thrift-​store «smell» to it. Prices were very reasonable as I am someone who truly supports the small local businesses. And if you plan on eating breakfast/​brunch at nearby «Bacon and Butter», this place is just a short walk right down the street. Definitely check it out, its a neat little hidden gem.

Man, I HATE hating on local business… especially relatively new ones…
I will preface this with I shall return to hopefully be able to update with more positive sentiments…
I went to this thrift shop awhile back since I live right around the corner and consider myself to be a thrift queen. I worked at Nordstrom right after high school and grew up with a mother who was quite the fashionista and to this day still LOVES a good designer label and quality made garment. I know brands, I know pricing and I KNOW how to thrift.
I’d say safely that I buy 75−80% of my wardrobe from thrift and consignment stores. Not because I HAVE to because I WANT to. I believe this is important to add because it goes to show the fact that even though I could shop in dept. stores I choose not to because I find the same gorgeous brand name clothing at the thrift stores hat is buy at Nordstrom. I frequent (Thrift Town, Goodwill, etc.) I’m talking Free People, Anthropologies many brands, Jeffrey Campbell, Citizens, UGG, James Perse, C&C California, Franco Sarto, the list goes on and on. Granted I can generally tell just by seeing the stitching and fabric what brand the garment is, I’m able to find these items which retail for very large amounts for under $ 5 at my normal spots. I generally garner a savings of around 90% and get asked constantly «where’d you get that» and I always reply with a smile «thrifting»!
I have rules. If I’m going to buy things in a thrift store they need to be under a certain prices depending on what they retailed for (thank you iPhone) so when I walked into this shop and it was empty I was wondering why… the girl working, albeit sweet, literally followed me around the ENTIRE 25 minutes I was there and asked me incessant questions. This was beyond friendly and just downright annoying. I appreciate very much being acknowledged but to be hounded is another story. I looked through all the clothing, I have this down to a science. Every item I saw was outdated and waaaay overpriced. If I want to pay $ 10-​$ 20 for old outdated Old Navy items, I’ll go to Old Navy.
Their Price point needs to be lowered dramatically, this is a THRIFT store and they need to have someone with a more modern eye do their buying and sorting. I walked away with nothing, I can’t remember the last time I left a thrift shop with NOTHING. It’s unheard of. The one thing I did find was so overpriced I just refused. The shop girl continued to talk to me even as I was out the door :(
If you’re looking for housewares it may be a little better as I’m generally just in this for the clothing, so I paid little attention to the home goods area…
All in all I would avoid this place unless you don’t mind mom jeans at $ 12 bucks a pop and constant pestering as you’re perusing. Thrift Town on Stockton is amazing and they actually have thrift store prices so you really feel like you’re scoring!!!

Great little gem in Tahoe park. Stumbled in after eating at bacon and butter and found some great clothes for the kids at great prices.

I like this thrift store! I feel that their prices make a lot more sense than GoodWill and ThriftTown. But I thnk because they are farely new they don’t have as much. But still worth it to check it out? higjly recommend.

Love this place. Went there while waiting for a table at Bacon and Butter and it was so awesome I went back after. Priced are dirt cheap. I bought 2 nice jackets, 3 sweaters, 6 tee shirts, and a water bottle for $ 80. But half of that was a gorgeous Columbia leather jacket for $ 40. The selection is really good and the clothing is really well organized.

This is the new location for this thrift store. I love this store because the owner is very nice and you can tell loves what she does. The selection is really good good for men and women’s selection is huge but not sure on the quality of garments but from what I’ve seen it wouldn’t hurt to take a quick look at this neighborhood gem. They’re are also expanding the corner of the building to turn it into a kids department so if you have kids that will be a nice treat.

Great little consignment shop. I found some good gems at great prices! I like how they had the mannequins dressed up in accessories. Gave some good ideas.

I was bummed when these folks moved from their original location on Fair Oaks in Carmichael. I finally made it to the new location and it is even better than before. Very well organized, excellent pricing and friendly staff make this a gem of a thrifting experience. If you are sick of seeing the prices rise at Thrift Town and Goodwill, you should really give this place a shot. Great scores!

Definitely like this place!
Awesome contemporary women’s clothing at great prices. Customer service was also good.

5 stars for: selection, pricing, friendliness of staff, cleanliness… did I mention price?! Welp, there goes NO SPEND SEPTEMBER and it’s only the 8^th! But boy am I glad I stopped in! Where do I begin? 22 tops ranging from high to low end merchandise and Chicken Soup for the Singles Soul… It was a buck, don’t judge me! BCBGENERATION, Calvin Klein, Prabul Gurung, J Crew, Love Coulture, Forever 21, Banana Republic, and H&M to name a few… No shirt was more than $ 4 (maybe 2 tops). All yellow tags 50% off and the majority of my merchandise was what?! You guessed it: Yellow tags! Who can beat a $ 2 sequin top from H&M? Not me, that’s for sure! Staff was beyond friendly and accommodating. 20% with Sac State ID and/​or 30% with donation. The only downfall is the «dressing room» aka restroom. I won’t fault them for that, they’re new business so slow and steady wins the race. Seeing as this shop is only a few blocks from my place, I’m thinking my lunchtime is going to have a new place. Oh did I mention I only spent $ 56?! That’s right… I’ll definitely be back! :)

New resale shop in Tahoe Park neighborhood. Large selections, clothes, tzsatschkes, housewares, furniture, purses, etc. Well-​organized,. Nice folks. Discounts for students, seniors, etc. Bring in a donation, get a coupon good for a one-​time discount in the following week.
