Volunteers and management at the Wairarapa SPCA opportunity shop are getting ready to roll the charity operation a few doors down the road.
Shop manager Fleur Harlick said a half price sale held yesterday had attracted a flood of customers to the premises and was part of a bid to clear some stock ahead of a move to the former Chriropractic Health Centre across from the Wairarapa Times-Age building in Chapel St.
The op shop was a first in Wairarapa for the SPCA, she said, and had opened in February 2013 in the Harcourts office and retail block that neighbours the building where the charity operation will be moving to next month.
"We are shifting because the new premises are a bit bigger," Ms Harlick said, "and hopefully we'll be able to run the shop and have plenty of storage room at the same site as well."
Ms Harlick said she and shop assistant Ross Nixon had been working at the shop since it opened as part of a growing roster of volunteers, and worked alongside loveable leonberger dog Jazz that was an attraction for customers in her own right.
