St Leonard’s Hospice set to open new store in Malton - complete with dedicated denim department
A new St Leonard’s Hospice store is opening in Malton this week.
The new-look store, which is opening on Friday, July 5 at 10am, is part of St Leonard’s future vision – moving away from the traditional style of a local charity shop.
The hospice is promising a unique high street shopping experience, complete with digital displays, modern lighting and touch screen information points.
The new shop, at 48/52 Wheelgate, will also have a dedicated denim department which is part of its drive to be more sustainable.
The charity is looking for people to volunteer to become part of its friendly and welcoming shop team in Malton.
Shop volunteers can develop retail skills, meet new people and help raise vital funds all at the same time.
There are a variety of voluntary roles available in the new shop.

Jason Lomas, retail development and operations manager, explained: “Thousands of litres of water are used in the manufacture of denim each year so why not help the environment by buying pre-loved items instead of new?
"We will be focusing one of the areas of the store on denim fashion, which we know is popular with our customers.
"We wanted to move away from the typical charity-shop feel and create something new, whilst keeping the costs down for the customer.
"It was great to have a blank canvas to work on so we could create our vision for this new-look shop, and we hope the people of Malton and surrounding area really like what we’ve done.”
