Rizo Sports - Canyon Crest

Rizo's Canyon Crest Towne Centre shop in Riverside stocks sports singles, Pokemon, and sealed product for collectors on the east side of town.

Rizo Sports' Canyon Crest location sits in the Canyon Crest Towne Centre on the east side of Riverside, giving collectors near UCR and the surrounding neighborhoods a closer option than the Tyler Mall store. The shelves carry the same hobby DNA: sports cards across baseball, basketball, and football, a Pokemon section for crossover and family shoppers, and sealed product for those who prefer to rip their own.

The storefront works best as a neighborhood card stop. Regulars single out helpful staff — names like Charlie, Donny, and River come up in reviews — for being patient and willing to walk through questions, whether you are pricing a slab or starting a collection. Showcase cases highlight key singles and graded cards, and the counter handles buys, trades, and box breaks.

Worth a candid note for trip-planning: a portion of reviewers feel TCG pricing on certain products runs above online market, so it helps to know current values before you buy big. For singles, supplies, and the convenience of an east-side Riverside card shop, though, it remains a useful stop.

Hours mirror a standard retail week — 11am to 8pm Monday through Saturday and noon to 6pm Sunday — and the Towne Centre offers plenty of parking. If you are already on the Canyon Crest side of town, it saves the cross-city drive while still scratching the sports cards and Pokemon itch.
