A SHOP you’ve never heard of is selling high-street staples with hugely discounted price tags as Brits have been nabbing £120 worth of M&S clothes for just £31.
Rebuild With Hope’s charity store in Wigan regularly hold pop-up sales where shoppers can find incredible bargain buys.
Located in the Grand Arcade, the town’s former giant Debenhams is now home to the charity shop named Hope.
It is even believed that the new store is the “country’s biggest charity shop”.
The flagship outlet sell famous high street staples in clothing, homeware and accessories at discounted prices of up to 70% off.
Hope occupies both floors of the huge unit, using the ground floor space for retail and the first floor for storage, training, drop-ins and support.
Following its soft opening last month, one shopper took to Facebook to show off her impressive purchase.
Layla Evans wrote on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains page: “Anyone who lives in Wigan, they have a new shop in the Grand Arcade called Hope”.
She attached an image of a mountain of clothes along with the caption: “I just got all of this (£120 worth all from Marks and Spencer’s) for my boys, all with new tags for £31!!”
Layla revealed that in her stunning buy she got two body warmers, one hooded jacket, two pairs of dungarees, three pairs of leggings and five T-shirts.
“Get yourself down there they do adults, accessories and home there as well,” she added.
According to Community Gateway, Rebuild With Hope host pop-up shops all across the country with their most recent event held in Preston on September 1.
“There’s no booking required, just come along on the day and check out the range of clothes, accessories, toys, homeware and gifts available” the charity wrote on their website.
Rebuild With Hope works with people facing multiple barriers to employment such as ex-offenders, homeless folk, refugees, ex-services veterans and asylum-seekers.
It provides direct employment both full and part-time, helps people find jobs and accommodation and provides training.
Chief executive officer Louise Atherton said on the opening: “We receive donations and seconds, but a lot of the products we will sell are surplus from high street names.
“A lot is donated by a company we work with and we also purchase from other organisations which get the stock from retailers.
“It means we can sell top quality products at discounts of up to 70 per cent and we have loads in reserve.”
An official launch of the store is expected to take place towards the end of this month.
