Alternative Retail | Carlsbad, CA - Carlsbad (CA)

4 /5 Sonya K: This place is very hit or miss. Its 5 star sometimes and 1 star others. It really depends on what brand they are selling. Bad - Tillys or Rent the runway. For example, if they have a Tillys sale, dont bother - you might get 60% off, but stuff at that store is usually at a big discount, and then you are not getting a good selection. What I have found and loved was sale on Spiritual Gangster, Sol Angeles - and amazing deals on some snowboard gear and equipment and wetsuits. High quality items for $10-20 each, wetsuits and snowboard clothing at 75%-80% off. UPDATE - I moved this from a 3 to 4 star review as it is 5 star sometimes.

5 /5 Clinton Jolley: This place is an absolute gem! I scored a ton of great clothes at unbeatable prices, and I can’t wait to go back. While there aren’t shopping carts or fitting rooms, the incredible deals more than make up for it. If you’re willing to dig a little, you’ll walk away with amazing finds at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a great bargain!

3 /5 Chad Martin: No dressing rooms, no returns, and their big discounts are a thing of the past. AR is becoming a regular retailer, but with old product [from previous years] and none of the same brick-n-mortar conveniences.

4 /5 Monique OToole: I love shopping at Tustin and Carlsbad. Not sure why Riverside is never open. The deals are unbeatable. My only suggestion would be to have full length mirrors on the sales floor, being that there’s no dressing rooms. Mirrors would help, and would most likely increase sales.

4 /5 Ziggy Longdon: Good prices good products. Obviously a bit hectic and sizes in the wrong places but that is to be expected
