Barnardo's has opened a superstore in Bradford which offers a huge range of clothes and accessories for sale, as well as new and preloved furniture.
The superstore is just the second shop of its kind for Barnardo’s – the first one opened in Coventry in October 2021. At 10,000 square feet in size, it promises an exciting shopping experience for customers hoping to bag a bargain.
Located in Forster Square Retail Park on Valley Road, it has in-store sections selling men’s, women’s and children’s clothes, shoes and accessories - there is also a range of new and pre-loved household items and refurbished electrical ‘white goods’ for sale.
David Longmore, Head of Store Proposition and Development from Barnardo’s explained more about what the store has on offer. David said: “We are delighted to open our second superstore in the UK and our Bradford staff and volunteers have enjoyed the ceremonial ribbon-cutting to declare that we are officially open for business!
“The money raised through sales in the superstore will go to help support Barnardo’s work with children – and the team is very proud to be a part of that. (See notes to editors below for more details on this work).
“While Barnardo’s online shops have proved really popular, there’s a friendly and community feel to coming into a store - even if it is just to have a chat and a browse around.
“There is definitely a move by the public to buy clothes and household items sustainably – and we find people also want to dress to stand out from the crowd. That trend has seen a growing interest in our vintage and retro garments and accessories. And you just never know when you’ll pick up a designer bag or coat from us at a bargain price!
“We would also like to hear from people of all ages who are interested in volunteering with Barnardo’s and of course we welcome donations of items that we can sell.
“Our free collection service can pick up furniture donations within a five-mile radius of the store, so call us to arrange a pick-up on 01274722034. We’re hoping lots of Bradford shoppers will call in and pay us a visit!”
