One of my favorite things to do is visit little vinyl shops in the different cities I travel to. Cool if I find something but just as cool if I don’t. I just love the ambience and mood of such places and this one had it all! Excellent customer service. Excellent selection. Great vibe and display of local art and killer tunes playing over thy speakers. I bright my kids and grandson with me. We all loved it and walked out with something! Great shop… I recommend anyone to stop by!
Great little record store with lots of 7 inches at fair prices. Really good customer service as well.
great local place specializing in used music medias (CD, cassette, vinyl LPs and 45s) used music systems and instruments, as well as music ephemera
Over priced, bad customer service. Don’t come here!!!! I wouldn’t give it a one star, I just had to choose in order to write a review.
We were looking for the perfect music for our son and daughter-in-law’s pre-wedding celebration. After hearing Ryan play at a local Happy Hour, we got his contact info and he responded very quickly. Not only is Ryan a very talented musician, he takes the time to learn about his audience, their preferences and weaves in his own amazing style into the experience. We thought about hiring a D.J., but our decision to have Ryan instead, was the excellent choice.
I first saw Ryan perform at a winery and was immediately impressed with his talent and musical style. I asked for his card, and soon after, hired him to perform at my rehearsal dinner and wedding welcome party. He played so many amazing songs – from oldies and recent hits – that we all knew and could dance to, and all of our guests were so impressed with his range of song genres – we didn’t want him to leave! He is reliable and super easy to work with, and I hope to enjoy his performances more in the future!

Lovely place will be back soon to get more cards. The best comic card shop around pismo will see you soon
It’s nice.
Pretty good prices, very cool collection of retro and vintage things for sell, great staff, a little disorganized but trust me the fun in finding a game, card or movie you have been looking for is pretty freaking worth it!!
Ok. They need to know more about the games.
Pretty dope store
Cool little spot. Definitely has a good selection. Go there if you want vinyl or movies especially.
Terrible customer service.
Everything in this store is a mess. Wouldnt recommend going here to find singles or packs because even his prices for sealed product was ridiculous. The guy running didnt even care that people were walking in or leaving, just stared at the tv the entire time. Horrible environment
Owners a nice guy but super greedy when it comes to trades…
7. Hole In the Sky
Address: 1111 W Grand Ave, Grover Beach, CA 93433 , Grover Beach , California , United States
The guys there are great! Got a new banger, yee, Brought in two pieces for repairs, super stoked, can’t wait to get them back
The people here are very nice and always very helpful. Always with a smile.
One of the last og shops around they have really good stuff and the guy at the store is real n groovy as they come with a good radio station also a must visit.
Got here only to find they are closed Wednesday, updated Google maps hours.
Must not sell new comics if they are closed on “new comics day” (Weds)
Cool atmosphere and everything for your smoking and black light posters needs
Would love to have spent more time here. The atmosphere has a very authentic, laid back, hippie/stoner type vibe to it; the owner was extremely helpful, and the prices were reasonable. Loved the variety of the items in stock too. Will definitely be going back the next time I’m in the area.
8. Lightning Joe’s Guitar Heaven
Address: 100 E Branch St, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 , Grover Beach , California , United States
My girlfriend really wanted an Aspen coloured Gretsch guitar for Christmas I looked all over and online until I called these guys(&girls) and they were super friendly over the phone. They had it in stock and were more than happy to put a sold tag on it and take a payment over the phone . They made sure I had everything I needed for her . Now I go to them for all my and my girlfriend’s string instrumental needs! Because off their great attitude and helpfulness!
Nice place cool staff they fix old guitars that are broken n have nice amps with a huge selection of string instrument’s, and a lot of effect peddles . Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for high-quality guitars 5/5
some of the staff is uppity but they have the best selection of gear on the central coast. No competition.
Amazing place, decent selection of guitars and gear. Seem happy to let you try different things out and staff seem knowledgeable.
Awesome store huge selection
I have lived here all my life, and I went into this story for the very first time just the other day, because my son plays guitar now, and we needed a new string. The women that works there was very rude to my daughter, she stayed with me the entire time, and she knows the rules (don’t look with your hands, look with your eyes) my daughter is very well behaved, she is homeschooled and suffers from a rare illness that has caused her to grow up allot faster. This women obviously had it out for my daughter as soon as we walked in. She followed behind us the entire time, and if my daughter even looked like she was about to touch something she would jump right in, and either push her hand away, or tell her to not try to touch it…. finally right before we left my daughter was looking at a little table with guitar strings attatched, she strummed one string one time! And the lady grabbed her hand shoved it away, and said don’t touch, you don’t know what your doing!! Ok? Ok? Ok? Say ok! My daughter said no thank you and turned away. The lady said no thank you? Really?….the only reason I did t leave sooner was because they had my sons guitar, but I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER go in their again, that lost my business and anyone else I know that plays instruments!
I went in to look at guitars with my son, I saw the store online and really was looking forward to seeing some cool guitars. The woman approached me right away and was super rude, saying we couldn’t try any guitars unless we were going to buy something. Then we went to look at acoustic guitars and the guy was just following us, he didn’t even care to help us out or ask if we had any questions. I was looking to purchase a nice Martin, but not from there not ever. Super rude!!!! I have a lot of friends who were looking to check this place out as well. I will let them know about my experience too. They would have gotten some great business but they missed out. I would have given their store 0 stars but had to give them one.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN PURCHASING A GUITAR OR ANYTHING FROM GUTIAR HEAVEN!!!!! a “JOHN LENNON REVOLUTION CASINO #338 OF 1965 WAS SOLD TO ME IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,459.40 PLUS TAX.
THEY TOLD ME IT WAS COMPLETELY ORGINAL AND I HAVE E-MAIL CORRESPONDENCE TO PROVE THIS!
COME TO FIND OUT AFTER SEEING OTHERS FOR SALE, THE CASE THEY INCLUDED WITH MINE WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL CASE FOR THE GUITAR! IT DID NOT HAVE JOHN LENNONS ART WORK ON THE CASE!
I FEEL SO CHEATED AND ROBBED!! CONFRONTING THEM ABOUT IT THEY SAID “SORRY WE CAN’T HELP YOU”!!
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU USE CAUTION WHEN BUYING SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE “IN ORIGINAL USED CONDITION”. ACTUALLY I WOULD ATTEMPT TO FIND THE PRODUCT ELSEWHERE AND FROM A ****REPUTABLE DEALER****!!!!!

The food is good ..the place is clean..the service is supper…the Price is right.

Their coffee is good and quick
Good fast food, clean facilities and nice employees.
Fast and convenient
Long lines not good for door dash!!
Terrible
Don’t eat at this McDonald’s. They don’t even spread the sauce on sandwiches they leave clumps of mayo,Big Mac sauce etc on the sandwiches they lazy go to Burger King instead
I live locally and try to frequent here occassioanlly and they are the worst slowest rudest service ever. All I want is a drink and 1 car in front of me ans we eill sit at the drive thru for 15 mins before the order is taken and there is zero guest inside
10. California Cool Thrift Store
Address: 737 W Grand Ave, Grover Beach, CA 93433 , Grover Beach , California , United States
I love this store. Friendly staff, good selection, and always grateful for donations.
Not a charity, but a good thrift shop with a wide range of decent goods that need a new home. Fairly priced and well sorted for shoppers. You’ll pay sales tax here, but you won’t mind doing so.
Good
Found some things at a decent price. Staff is friendly and helpful. Got a bedframe and a walker for my Dad.
Rude staff immediately upon entering. Don’t need my money apparently.
My boyfriend and I drove from heritage ranch to arroyo grande to shop here and were treated horrible by the lady with the white blonde bob and glasses. This used to be the only place on the central coast we’d shop for clothes …never again … horrible customer service ..
I would not recommend this place,even though I waited patiently for my turn at the register, three people were helped before me. Out andour DISCRIMINATION!

Address: 390 W Grand Ave, Grover Beach, CA 93433 , Grover Beach , California , United States
This was my 1st time in this Goodwill despite living in the area for 30+ years. I had the pleasure of meeting Sky, who was my cashier. He was the friendliest, down to earth guy who seemed to genuinely enjoys his job. His energy and laughter was contagious. He made it an awesome shopping experience.
Prices a bit high for goodwill, but quality is higher than most
My favorite of the local Goodwill Stores. Well organized merchandise and I almost always find some good treasures at bargain prices.
Real nice selection of clothing. A little foul smell. Employees were pleasant except Rita. Very grumpy and scolded me when I took two clothing items to give to my aunt so she could give me the 2 remaining items I needed to try. She wanted me to get out and get in line again to try on those 2 items. There were 3 dressing rooms and 1 young lady in line. I took in 5 items and am a 69 year old who has a difficult time being about. She ruined my day. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was because I am hispanic because she spoke so sweetly to the next lady who was white Anglo and didn’t even mention to her how many items were allowed.
I thought this places had some good deals but some stuff was marked up to high
Siempre me gusta ir aquí a comprar diferentes cosas
Overpriced
Wayyyy overpriced! Some of the appliances are ridiculous. $29.99 for an old Oreck air purifier dusty and a broken part?? They need to wake up and realize that this is used stuff that has been donated. Quit taking advantage of the area and charging ridiculous prices.
Overpriced on most items. Sometimes more expensive than new.
16. St Patricks School Shamrock Thrift Shop
Address: 924 W Grand Ave, Grover Beach, CA 93433 , Grover Beach , California , United States
Amazing shop, the owner is super chill and helpful!
A home away from home. Guy and the gang will take care of you. There aren’t many places that feel as relaxed as Amsterdam. You can come sit down, no pressure, and let the atmosphere mellow on you. Some of the best drinks, artisan Italian sodas and the best hookah you’ll ever have. No question on where to go for a night out. It doesnt get better than the Amsterdam vape lounge.
Love it !
Good experience. One is much more knowledgeable than the other, but he makes up for it in friendliness and effort. The other guy knows his stuff. They have some very unique pieces, all vape stuff, dabs, hookah bar on Saturdays. The store is beautiful and carries unique clothing lines. My only qualm is that overall quality is a+ but they should also cater to more lower end products like chillums. S.all bongs bats and that type of stuff. Vape stuff is high quality.
Good selection and service
Cool place kinda tucked away
Terrible experience with this store. Purchased an expensive item from this store and it broke within 5 days. When we took it back to the store, the owner became hostile, abusive and racist towards me (I’m not from this country). He went on to yell at me, belittled me and was generally just awful. Would not recommend going to this store – there are plenty of other stores in the area who are much better to deal with. Really disappointing.
Overpriced garbage. $120 for two pieces to break within 24 hours without heavy use and they supposedly can’t do anything about it.
Its a small feet to open your stores at the time that is posted if not update your times.
18. Walmart
Address: 1168 W Branch St, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 , Grover Beach , California , United States
a very comfortable and very clean place … just need to update the toy store
This store is always clean and stocked
Courteous fast friendly
Not bad
The store was clean and well stocked.
The lines at the register were extremely long.
I did self checkout and it went pretty quick. I had two items that rang up higher than the ticketed price but the attendant promptly fixed it.
I would recommend this Walmart to others.
This Walmart was cleaner than other Walmarts I have been to. The bathrooms were especially clean and big. However they didn’t offer Wi-Fi, only the McDonalds did. It’s not a supercenter and they don’t have a massive selection but it’s still big and clean
Homeless there at night. Man drinking large bottle of wine in parking lot, we were worried for our safety. Wife said she won’t come to store alone.
I give it one star this time because they didn’t have in stock my 38 cargo shorts
Out of stock on all notepads

Please bear with us… although the county has lifted masking mandates, we are a religious organization and our Bishop has not yet released us from our obligation to protect the public. Didn’t bring a mask? Don’t worry, we have extras… just ask.
Every Friday I pick up donations for the animals at Woods. Stop in, donate, pay it forward and find something you’ve been looking for.
