GEELONG Animal Welfare Society’s (GAWS) Op Shop now has a new home, relocating to Newcomb.<\/p>\n

The store officially opened its doors to the public on Monday, November 4 and has already proven popular with the community.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

GAWS volunteer coordinator Kim Attard said the new tenancy was appealing for its size, location, proximity to the Moolap shelter and convenience.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

The newly opened space provides shoppers with a bigger and brighter store.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Hamlyn Heights store officially finished trading in October, with volunteers working to stock the shelves at the new location.<\/p>\n

All profits generated from within the store go towards supporting the animals in the care of GAWS.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Clothing, accessories, homewares, books and toys are all available at the store.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
