About Brighter Side Bargains
At Brighter Side Bargains, our mission is simple: to serve and support the Grover Beach community by offering affordable treasures while giving back to those in need.
Located in the heart of Grover Beach, our thrift store is more than just a place to shop—it’s a hub for connection, support, and community spirit.
Built for the Community
When Ellie M. founded Brighter Side Bargains, her vision was to create a space where everyone could feel welcome and find something special, no matter their budget. With her background in retail and resale, saw the potential for a thrift store that not only offers great deals but also builds lasting relationships. Thanks to the incredible support of Grover Beach residents, our store has become a thriving part of the local community.
Supporting Our Neighbors in Need
At Brighter Side Bargains, community support is at the heart of everything we do. We partner with Lumina Alliance, a local non-profit that helps survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Through this partnership, we provide clothing and essential items to those in need, helping individuals rebuild their lives with dignity.
Every purchase you make not only supports local thrifting enthusiasts but also contributes to this vital cause, ensuring that survivors in our community have access to necessities through our voucher program.
Building a Brighter Future Together
Grover Beach is more than just where we’re located—it’s the community that makes us who we are. We believe in giving back, connecting with others, and creating a place where everyone can feel valued. When you shop at Brighter Side Bargains, you’re not just finding a great deal—you’re supporting local causes, meeting new friends, and being part of something bigger. We’re here to serve you, uplift our neighbors, and make a positive impact in Grover Beach every day.
Your Local Treasure Trove
We’re more than a thrift store—we’re a community treasure chest offering affordable secondhand clothing, unique home decor, and more. With affordable finds and a welcoming atmosphere, we’re all about community spirit. Our shelves are stocked with one-of-a-kind treasures, and the Dollarmania Room offers clothing for just $1, $2, or $3. From a man-cave section to a kids’ area, Brighter Side Bargains truly has something for everyone.
