The store itself will be 790m² (8,500ft²).

It can be found at Kilner Way Retail Park, Wadsley Bridge in Sheffield, selling a huge variety of second-hand goods, with the goal to become a “go-to destination for everything pre-loved”.

As well as the large store front, the location also has 650m² (7,000ft²) of warehouse space in its rear to act as a hub for donations.

This department store, run by st Lukes seeks to tap into the growing UK market of second-hand goods, expected to grow by 127% over the next two years.

“We’re so excited to open St Luke’s Kilner Way – our biggest store yet. Kilner Way will have its own unique look and feel, providing the perfect setting for the range that has been hand-picked by the St Luke’s retail team from our thousands of donations. The store will meet the rising demand for cost-conscious shopping and high-quality pre-loved goods by selling a full range of eco-conscious items. We’ll be covering everything from contemporary and vintage fashion to occasion wear – departments will include clothing, furniture, books and records.”
