First look at bargain shop taking over former Shoe Zone

The first images have been shared of a new bargain shop opening in a high street next week.

In March, Mind announced it would be taking over the former Shoe Zone in Stowmarket to open a new charity shop.

The charity is collaborating with Suffolk Mind and earlier this month opened a similar venture in Woodbridge.

The new shop will sell everything from clothing and accessories to children's toys and games.

Kelly Law, regional manager at Mind Retail, said: "It’s thanks to the dedication and support of the local community that we are able to support the one in four of us who will experience a mental health problem every year."
