Where to Park
FOR SHOPPING please parallel park at the FRONT side of the building. Walk up the red stairs towards the main entrance and once inside the store, turn right.
The Marine Thrift Shop is not the only occupant in the building and to be respectful, the back parking lot is reserved for the rest of the building employees.
The only exceptions to the back parking lot are those that require handicap ramp access and shoppers with strollers.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Pricing Guide
When shopping, you may see that there will be many items priced with different colored stickers. Above, you will see our sticker pricing guide.
Items such as clothing are priced at a set amount, and you can find these prices framed within the shop.
Our Reward/Stamp Card
Did you know that for every $5 spent, you get a stamp? Once you fill up your stamp card, it will count as a $5 reward that may be applied to your next purchase.
Stamp cards cannot be redeemed on certain holiday/bag sales. This is determined by management and will be noted on our social media platforms leading up to these sales days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't you take our trash?
The Marine Thrift Shop is not able to take any items that are not useable for donations. If we deem an item unusable, we will ask that you take the item with you to dispose of properly. The reason for this is that Marine Thrift Shop is only allotted certain weights and amounts for trash pickup, and it is an added cost to our organization. Since bulk pickup is free in housing we ask that you utilize this service to eliminate the need for outstanding costs to the Shop. If you cannot utilize bulk pickup in housing, Kadena has a recycling center that you can utilize.
Why are you appointment only on Saturday?
Saturday is our biggest shopping day of the week and we ask that our staff is present for our shop. Donations are by appointment only so we can be readily available to donations and the shop as needed.
Why don't you take stamp cards on holidays or sales?
Since our items are already heavily discounted on sale days, we do not accept stamp cards at that time. Holiday items are limited, and we cannot accept them for those items either.
Why don’t you sell uniform items if we want to get more than 5?
Legally, we cannot resell uniform pieces.
Why can’t my spouse pick up uniform items for me?
We must identify the service member and ensure that only 5 items per month are being given. We must also identify the branch of service so as to ensure that the service member is only utilizing the service for their own uniform items.
