"We started business at the Mesa Marketplace and quickly realized we had something promising," per the history section of the business's Yelp profile. "Owning a commercial building with warehouse space in the back, we decided it would be a great place to move the store. Come January of 2011 we opened our doors and created a store."

Regarding signature items, "Bargain Central is not your average thrift or bargain store," it notes on Yelp in the section highlighting specialties. "The majority of the items we carry are brand new and straight from "favorite" retail stores."
