Momentum Brands, 99 Cents Only Brand, Commerce CA

Momentum is one of the 99 Cents Only store’s house brands.

Momentum is no more, but you may be able to find replacement products through a few different outlets. Read After Momentum and 99 Cents, now what?

The 99 Cents Only store gets a lot of product from China, and rebrands it as its own, using different trademarks to make it look like there’s a variety of companies.

Granted, a lot of the different companies are actually different regional companies, but Momentum appears to be straight from China to Commerce, CA, 90023, where the 99 Cents Only store is headquartered. (If you’re in the Boyle Heights area, it’s down near the Food 4 Less on Olympic, just south east of it.)

The quality of Momentum product varies, but it’s functional. They sell plastic bowls, plates, cups, universal remote controls, USB cables, calculators, water bottles, toys, brushes, Garden Ease brand garden gadgets, and  hundreds of other products.

      When it comes to recycling with your blue bin, they just want the stuff in there loose. See your blue bin to find out if they accept bags. In the City of Los Angeles, they now accept bags.

      Plastic bags are usually made of polyethylene. There are two main forms: high density polyethylene, aka HDPE, aka recycling number 2; low density polyethylene, aka LDPE, aka recycling number 4. The package may indicate which is used.

      HDPE plastic bags are the thin plastic shopping bag material, and crinkle. It’s also the milk jug plastic. This is generally recyclable.

      LDPE plastic bags are the softer, limp plastic bag material. These feel more like hefty trash bags or ziploc plastic bags or baggies. This is usually not accepted for recycling.

      Edit: I created a post about this.

        I love all of your holiday signs but there is not a 99 cent store by where I now live. Where else can I purchase them ? Or is there a website I can order from? Thank you, Montiel

          Sometimes, people buy things and post sets of items on websites like ebay and mercari.

    I bought 3 usable Gourmet reusable containers and lids, 27.4
    fl. Oz. at the 99cent store. The tops do not even fit tight on the containers. I did not expect them to be like Tupperware or something more expensive, but shame on you for selling a product that is inferior and cannot be used! I wanted to use them for some storing after Passover, but can’t do that as it spills out over everything.

    I do not want my petty 99cents returned, but just though you should know what kind of product you are promoting, whatever the price. With what’s going on now, I am surprised that you would like to fool people!!

    I bought 10 8-LED solar disk lights, which claims to be long-lasting solar powered, but they only stay on 1 to 2 hours every night after being fully charged in the sun for about 10 hours. Are the batteries malfunctioning or is it the lights? This is happening to all of them. Most will completely go out within an hour and the other 3 will almost last to 2 hours. Do I return?

      I have the same problem…they stay on for awhile, then go out.
      What’s the deal? Bought ten 8-led lights @ $3.00 /ea = $30.00
      is it AA batteries needed, how do you put them in??

    Shopping at my local 99-cents in Stockton, CA I didn’t find my regular Nescafe Instant Coffee, which is my favorite. I reluctantly bought Cafe Cordova Double Expresso Dark. I am not a connoisseur, but it was the best coffee I ever tasted. I went back and visited the three (or four?) Stockton 99-cents stores. No luck. Where I get this particular coffee? Of course I am not your wholesale customer, but… can I order it directly from you? I would like some 6 – 10 7oz bottles for my office. Otherwise, please let me know where I can find it on the shelves. Thanks!

    I bought a mesh metal note paper dispenser from 99 cent store located in Palm Springs, CA a few years ago. My local 99 cent store apparently no longer stocks this. The measurements are 5.6 inches x 3.3 inches x 1.5 inches tall. This is followed by what may be a stock number which reads 601487.
    Do you think there may be a chance of buying another 1 or 2 of these. Thank you.

    Hello, since no more 99 cents only store, where can I purchase Kum Chun brand soy sauce 16.9 fl oz? this is the best soy sauce around. no market or store sells this, I should have stocked up on it after finding out the stores closing for good.😌

      I did a search, and found Lee Kum Kee Kum Chun Brand Soy Sauce. It’s available through mail order, but if there’s an Chinese or maybe general Asian store around you, they probably sell it. It’s probably cheap, because it’s only 1.19 on Instacart in my area… but my area is LA’s San Gabriel Valley, and Chinese groceries here are pretty affordable.

    Hi, do you still have those 3-pack(refills) Halsa car case refill? They used to sell at the 99c Store, but now other retailers are selling like $10 per pack. Can I buy direct from you? and price quote? Thanks.

      Hi Eddie. This site isn’t the 99 Cents Only company. It’s actually a politics website. I did a search for “Halsa car case” and found a bunch of people selling refills, but the prices were not low 🙁 I did a search on Dollar Tree, and they have some pocket tissue packs. Maybe that will work for you. If they do, you can order a case of tissues from their website. (I’ll post an article about the fact you can order in wholesale quantities.)

    Does anyone know if any Momentum Brands products are still being made or did the Momentum Brands company disappear when 99 Cents Only Stores went out of business? Some of the items were actually pretty good quality. I always used their iPhone glass screen protectors for example and several other electronic related items, cables, chargers, etc.

      Hi. I don’t know if Momentum Brands is continuing. Generally, this kind of store brand is just rebranding products made by other companies, usually in China. So the products are likely still being made by the other company, but they are being sold under another brand, in other stores.

        Thanks. I’d like to find out where they’re being sold if they’re still around. I know Dollar Tree opened in some of the closed 99 Cents Only Stores around here but they’re not selling those same items. With my iPhone screen protector example, I haven’t seen that exact screen protector anywhere else other than the Momentum Brands one. Fortunately I bought a couple extra for back up before 99 Cents closed.

    Where can I find the California chili powder? I live in Santa Ynez California. Used to get it at the 99 cent store in Lompoc. Haven’t been able to find it in a couple of years. Their selection is very poor. Is it sold anywhere else or can I buy it online. I would buy it in bulk.
