New Selby Store

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 13:38:18 +0000

On 9th August we opened the doors on our new Selby store.

We have moved into bigger and better premises which now enable us to keep a larger range of goods, including new beds and white goods. The store is now at Unit 2 on the Bawtry Road Industrial Estate, YO8 8NB, next door to Jewsons. It is easily accessible from the Town Centre or the A63 bypass. You can come by bus or make use of the plentiful free parking.

The building is wheelchair accessible with a disability WC.

New Van

In March 2010 we purchased an additional van. This is now helping us to cope with the increase in furniture re-use which has resulted from the upgrading of the York Store.

The purchase of the new van was largely made possible by a very generous grant from the Gannet Foundation (connected to the York Press.)

Big Increase in York Activity

The year to March 2010, following the refurbishment of the York Store, saw another large increase in the volume of goods handled. The re-use of over 184 tonnes (6,777 items) of furniture and white goods was facilitated. This was an increase of 18% over the previous year, and is equivalent to the weight of 37 elephants. During the year over 3,000 collections of donated items were made.

Over 56% of customers qualified to purchase items at the lower rate prices.

Following the successful fund-raising appeal and subsequent refurbishment and expansion of the York Store, Hugh Bayley, MP for York and a supporter of the store since its inception, cut the ribbon at a celebratory evening in September 2009 to thank the many charities, organisations and individuals who had helped to make the improvements possible.

Our move back into Unit 29 at the Raylor Centre was completed smoothly and we now have much more space to hold a larger stock and display it more effectively.

The warehouse for the York Store is being upgraded.An opportunity has arisen to provide a bigger and better store in York at Unit 29. While the work is progressing the York Store is moving temporarily to alternative premises very close by. The initial building work is expected to take about 3 months.

The building will be reclad to create a warmer, more attractive environment. In addition, a mezzanine floor will be added to provided greater capacity so that the range of stock can be increased and items can be more effectively displayed.
