Wellington SPCA to open second op shop in Petone

Building on the success of our Waikanae op shop, Wellington SPCA is thrilled to be opening another store in Petone.

Wellington SPCA relies on donations from the public to care for the 5000 plus animals we see each year. As we move towards a more sustainable future, we’re looking at new ways to bring in revenue. Expanding our op shop empire is one step on that journey.

“Our first store has been a triumph and we are confident the Petone store will be embraced in the same way,” says CEO Iain Torrance, “in addition to the direct financial benefits, our op shops provide us a physical location in the heart of the communities we serve. This enables us to convey our educational messages and the profiles of our animals available for adoption”.

The shop’s location at 243 Jackson Street places it amongst a range of other second-hand stores, which is ideal for shoppers on a big hunt for a bargain.

Op shop manager Leah Johnson is excited about opening, and is grateful for all the support so far.

“The welcome we’ve recieved in Petone has been amazing, There’s been volunteers and offers of donations coming in steadily. We have heaps of great clothing and books and lovely items for homes and pets, all round it’s been fantastic so far! We even received a full shop fit out from a city store, so the shop is looking great!, I just can’t wait to get up and running now!”

Wellington SPCA’s op shops feature a range of quality second-hand clothes and homewares, but we always need more stock, and more volunteers. If you can help, send Leah an email.

Perhaps you could take this opportunity to clean out your own closets and make a donation?

Wellington SPCA Op Shop in Petone opens at 9am, Saturday October 29.
