ABOUT US PAGE
“The Story of Bargain Bin City”
We’re Bargain Bin City — a locally owned, family-run treasure hunt store right here in San Antonio, built for deal-diggers, resellers, families, and anyone who loves the thrill of finding something awesome for way less than retail.
Every week, we load up with thousands of brand-new items into our bins, reset the prices, and start the hunt all over again. No two visits are the same, and that’s exactly how we like it.
Why We Built This Store
The concept
We wanted to create a place where shopping actually feels fun again — not stressful, not expensive, not boring. A place where you never know what you’ll find, but you always leave feeling like you scored a deal.
Instead of raising prices like retail…
We lower them every single day.
Instead of boring aisles and barcodes…
We turn shopping into a treasure hunt.
Instead of corporate bland…
We’re bright, bold, weird, nostalgic, and proud of it.
The Soda Wall Story
We didn’t just want to sell deals — we wanted Bargain Bin City to feel like an experience.
So we built the Retro Soda Wall: Over180 cold glass-bottle throwback sodas you can’t find at regular stores. Dad’s. Frostie. Hippo Size. Bubble Up. And new flavors always being added.
People come for the deals — and end up discovering their new favorite soda.
Mascots with a Mission
Diver Dan and Captain Bubbles aren’t just characters — they represent what we’re all about:
🪙 Diver Dan = deep-sea treasure hunter. Always searching for hidden value.
⚓ Captain Bubbles = the joyful captain who runs the ship and keeps the deals flowing.
They show up in our signs, stickers, merch, and even in-store events — because adults deserve fun shopping too.
