Thrift Cottage operates out of a converted World War II WAVE barracks at 1211 10th Street in Coronado, a structure that Graham Memorial Presbyterian Church relocated to the church campus in 1947 and repurposed into a resale shop. The 92118 thrift store carries women's, men's, and children's clothing, accessories, jewelry, housewares, small appliances, books, and toys — and is the only one of Coronado Island's three thrift shops that also accepts consignment items through a dedicated window on the alley side of the building. Sales revenue funds high school and college scholarships, youth camp sponsorships, and donations to organizations including Military Outreach Ministries, San Diego Rescue Mission, and New Day Urban Ministries. Readers browsing the donated paperback and hardcover selection can also check Second Hand Prose on Orange Avenue, which carries a dedicated used-book inventory in the same 92118 ZIP. Staffed by approximately 30 volunteers and managed by a six-member Thrift Cottage Committee, the operation runs without paid employees, directing the maximum possible percentage of revenue to charitable programs. The 10th Street location sits one block off Orange Avenue, placing it within walking distance of Hotel Del Coronado and the Coronado shopping corridor that anchors the island's village district. Inventory changes rapidly — sometimes hourly — because Coronado residents drop off donations throughout operating hours, and the island's thrift scene draws both locals and visitors researching things to do in Coronado beyond the beach. For new hats and accessories on the Orange Avenue shopping corridor, Coronado Hat Company carries sun hats and island-branded headwear. Pricing runs well below retail — the shop has moved vintage lace dresses for under ten dollars, designer outfits for under twenty-five, and leather jackets for twelve — reflecting the charitable mission over margin.
