GAWS Op Shop relocates

GEELONG Animal Welfare Society’s (GAWS) Op Shop now has a new home, relocating to Newcomb.

The store officially opened its doors to the public on Monday, November 4 and has already proven popular with the community.

As the lease came to an end at the previous location in Hamlyn Heights, GAWS took the opportunity to move to a larger and brighter space.

GAWS volunteer coordinator Kim Attard said the new tenancy was appealing for its size, location, proximity to the Moolap shelter and convenience.

“GAWS has a lot of support from our local community around Leopold and Newcomb and we are thrilled to give them another option to shop for pre-loved clothes and items at affordable prices.

“It is a great shopping strip within Newcomb and we are located next to the Lifeline Op Shop, making it a one-stop area for those on the hunt for second-hand items in good condition.”

 

 

The Hamlyn Heights store officially finished trading in October, with volunteers working to stock the shelves at the new location.

All profits generated from within the store go towards supporting the animals in the care of GAWS.

Run by volunteers, the op shop invited customers in store to explore the stock and consider making a purchase to support the animals at the shelter.

Clothing, accessories, homewares, books and toys are all available at the store.

The op shop can now be found at 50 Watsons Road, Newcomb and is open from 10am until 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am until 2pm on Saturdays.
