St Michael’s Hospice is preparing to open their latest new store in Ross-on-Wye, which will be packed with affordable pre-loved treasures.
The Cantilupe Road store will be the third St Michael’s Hospice shop in Ross-on-Wye to open this morning (May 9th).
St Michael’s has a significant retail presence in Herefordshire and its borders, this financial year it is expected to bring in almost £2 million towards patient care at the Bartestree based hospice and within the community.
The latest shop in Ross is in addition to the Home and Living Store on the Alton Road Industrial Estate, and its town centre outlet in Gloucester Road.
Each store will have a different offering, so they will all be worth a visit.
“We’re so excited to open this new store, it’s a great location for those wishing to shop or donate pre-loved items.
“With over 3,000 square feet of refurbished retail space, there’s plenty to choose from.”
said Rachel Jones Income Generation, Marketing and Communications Director.
“We would love the community to join us at the shop launch next Tuesday. For those arriving early the first 50 purchasing customers will receive a goody bag.
“We will also be celebrating by treating customers to Bucks Fizz and sweet treats and it’s a great opportunity for us to thank everyone involved who has helped to get the shop looking great in time for the opening.”
The shop, located opposite the town’s Morrisons store, will stock a range of pre-loved treasures from books to furniture, and clothes to toys.
It’s also a guilt-free way of shopping, as every purchase means one less item for landfill and a contribution to hospice care.
The official opening will take place on Tuesday 9th May from 10am-7pm.
The store will then be open Monday to Saturday 9am-5pm initially with exciting plans to open 7 days a week once more volunteers have been recruited across the Summer. Full details can be found here.
To offer the Ross community 7-days of pre-loved shopping, St Michael’s Hospice is seeking volunteers, so if you would like to be part of a friendly team and give-back to a great charity, then pop along to the shop or email volunteer@smhospicehereford.org
