“ The Market “ from Dove House – a new venture in charity shop retail now open in Hull, this is a vibrant retail destination that champions the principles of re-use, re-purpose, and re-love.
Dove House Hospice is thrilled to announce the outstanding success of its newly launched charity shop, The Market by Dove House, in Hull. Since opening on 20th July, The Market has surpassed all expectations, achieving remarkable sales figures and receiving overwhelming support from the local community.
The local community’s generosity has been a key factor in The Market’s success. Many residents have chosen to donate high-quality items, opting to support the hospice rather than selling their goods online. This has resulted in an impressive array of unique and valuable items available at the store, enhancing the shopping experience for all visitors.
Sarah Cash, Deputy Chief Executive at Dove House says: ”The Market by Dove House is not just another charity shop; it is a vibrant retail destination that champions the principles of re-use, re-purpose, and re-love. Shoppers can explore thoughtfully curated collections of vintage, homewares, preloved fashion, and unique items of furniture, arranged to create an inviting and inspiring environment.”
Jenny Rowan, Head of Retail at Dove House, expressed her excitement: “The Market is a place where people can find one-of-a-kind pieces while supporting a sustainable lifestyle. We are thrilled with the community’s response and are committed to making thrifting a fashionable and accessible choice for everyone.”
Every purchase at The Market directly contributes to the compassionate care provided by Dove House Hospice to individuals with life-limiting illnesses in the local community. The revenue generated by The Market and 32 other Dove House shops plays a crucial role in funding the hospice’s essential services.
Located at Unit 2, Malmo Road on the Sutton Fields Industrial Estate, The Market offers easy access for both local residents and the workforce in the area. The shop is open every day, with a late night on Mondays, providing ample opportunity for shoppers to discover something special during their lunch breaks or weekend outings.
In addition to shopping, The Market hosts a variety of events, workshops, and pop-ups, a dynamic, community-focused atmosphere. These activities aim to educate visitors on sustainable living, up-cycling, and reducing environmental impact.
