Barkin' Basement

The money raised goes to JARM (Jasper Animal Rescue Mission). They have tons of different items at thrift store prices. They carry quality items not junk. Merchandise changes daily. Check out their store frequently. Only 20-25 minutes from Sun City. Worth the trip.

I am not in this store every day, just everyday I can get there! ALWAYS something new and interesting. This is by far the very best thrift store I have ever shopped. (and I have been in a lot!) An amazing plus is that proceeds go to our furry friends who cannot raise money for themselves. If you have not shopped at Barkin Basement, you are missing so much fun!

Carmen, the store manager, is such a kind soul! I had so much fun talking to her, seeing and petting the cats that roam about in there (they are so sweet and up for adoption!) and finding so many treasures! I got so many things for an amazing amazing price. Can’t wait to come back soon! There is something for everyone! And you’re supporting the Jasper County animal shelter. Thanks Carmen and the volunteers for your hospitality and for what you do for the animals!

I started going to Barkin Basement two years ago after moving from Ohio. Loved the prices, gals who worked at the store and total atmosphere of friendliness. After going to island and Bluffton thrift stores, the prices and all were so much better.
Janet, Barbara, Carmine,Cheryl Sue, Ann, Trish, Linda Sharon, Cindy and Rebecca are all super. Go and have a wonderful time with all prices at 50 percent off. And play with the kitties 🐱

I love the treasure hunt every time I go to the Barkin. I know the manager Carmen works hard to find AND pickup good quality donations from good homes to support JARM. She is a fantastic individual who has cultivated a network of people and supporters to help this non profit thrive. She’s always got some kind of sale going on and it’s always a bargain; especially if you can catch her when she’s unloading a donation pickup.

I love the Barkin. It serves an amazing community necessity and goes beyond by offering great deals on quality merchandise. It’s a place where you’re greeted by name and made to feel welcome. From antiques to household needs and everything in between, I always find just what I need or want.

Everytime I go into the Barkin' Basement everyone is always so welcoming! It's especially great because EVERYTHING is 50% off! Barkin' Basement was super helpful when it came to buying decorations for my wedding, and for my future classroom. You couldn't ask for better people, or a better place to thrift. You can even adopt kittens that are provided by JARM (a local animal shelter in ridgeland.) Better yet, all of the proceeds go directly to the JARM. I mean, who could ask for more? Overall Barkin' Basement is the perfect place to shop if you're on a budget!

This is such a precious gem. Any time I visit Ridgeland, I always try to stop by and take a look around. Nothing can beat the ambience and decently priced antiquities. Love this place and the people!

Barkin' Basement is an amazing small town businesses that supports the local animal shelter with all its proceeds! You will find many different things that you will either need or want.

Such a super cute store. Really great prices and great items. CARMEN, the lady who worked on Saturday was super helpful.

Cool place with tons of neat things! Best thrift shop in Ridgeland imo and Carmen is the best! Things are reasonably priced and in really good condition 🤩

Love being able to find things I need at reasonable prices all while helping the animals. Staff is so friendly and helpful.

Excellent experience!!!! Staff friendly and helpful. Store is full of wonderful treasures at bargain prices! Very clean and plenty of room to shop. Loved the kittens too. Makes shopping more fun to have cats around. Will definitely go back again and again. They always have different things so it’s like a treasure hunt every time

Nice clean Thrift Store with so many treasures to choose from I could decorate my whole house in one visit!!! Easy to find the store right on one of the main streets in a great little town. Prices were awesome and so is the help. Will tell all my friends!! Also love to support the animals so it's a great way to shop and support at the same time!!!!!!

Amazing place and Carmen is always a delight to talk to! Best thrifting I’ve done in a while. A+++

I love the Barkin Basement. No attitude no dissing just great stuff around really loving people. I have found the manager and the volunteers to go the extra mile to help people and connect with people. Some of my best things in my home are from there. Donations come from Hilton Head and the wealthier communities at Ridgeland prices.

Great place, luxury items for very affordable price, excellent caring and attentive staff. And all for a good cause!!!

Found an awesome lamp & framed print...both for only $30! Extremely happy! The service was very friendly, polite, & helpful! A great store to waste an hour away in...and the proceeds go to a great cause! 5 stars in every aspect!

The Barkin is such a fun shop! I go there every time I go to Ridgeland. I've bought cookbooks and vintage stationary, end tables and light fixtures, vintage jewelry and paintings. It's fun to stroll through the aisles of treasures. Always clean and inviting and the right temperature. Always staged well to inspire my decorating at home. Love this little gem!

The Barkin is a great place to find treasurers and is such a service to our community. Check it out if you’re in town!
