The new shop, at 12 High Street West was opened by Mayor of the High Peak, Councillor Stewart Gardner, who praised the staff and volunteers who have worked so hard to make the move from their previous premises at 57 High Street West, before cutting the ribbon to let the queue of excited customers in to find some bargains.
Pauline Lunt, Head of Retail at Willow Wood Hospice, said: “We are always looking to improve our retail offering and we had outgrown our space in Glossop thanks to the fantastic support of the local community.
“In our new premises, we have an increased floor space and a greater high street presence.
“We wish to express our sincere thanks to local businesses who have supported us in getting the new shop up and running - including Colebarn Developments in Hadfield.”
Caroline Lillis, Glossop shop manager, added: “We are really excited to open our new Glossop shop, which is bigger and brighter with an extended range of items.”
The shop will be open seven days a week - from 9.30am to 4.30pm Mondays to Saturdays and 10.30am to 4.30pm on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays.
You can contact the shop by calling 0161 669 4855 and keep an eye out on the community noticeboard in the shop for updates about the Hospice, its services and fundraising events.
Supporting the Hospice’s charity shops is just one way that people can make a difference to patients from the local community.
While we were there, High Peak TV chatted to Pauline Lunt, Head of Retail, Sam Duncan, Director of Fundraising & Communications at Willow Wood Hospice and Stewart Gardner, Mayor of High Peak, about the new shop.
