A charity shop chain is set to relocate to a new Crewe town centre unit next week, two weeks after closing its current outlet.

British Heart Foundation Furniture & Electrical, Victoria Centre, closed on Friday 23 August.

It will now reopen at Unit A, The Market Shopping Centre, at 9:30am on Thursday 5 September.

British Heart Foundation is trying to stock up on furniture and electrical donations for opening the new store (Ryan Parker).

Currently, British Heart Foundation is trying to stock up on furniture and electrical donations for opening the new store.

Any quality donations are appreciated, which can be dropped off before the reopening.

Previously located opposite Asda, British Heart Foundation had been looking at moving to a more accessible unit for lifting its furniture.

The former Argos unit, which closed in 2020, was stripped out ready for the development last summer.

British Heart Foundation has carried out Internal alterations, installing new illuminated signs and a non-Illuminated sign.

Approving plans in April, a Cheshire East case officer said: "The proposal will make use of an existing vacant retail unit formerly an Argos within the primary shopping centre.

"The development will make use of the existing features of the retail unit and is in keeping with the other retail units leading up to the Royal Arcade and Market Centre.

"The proposal would be of a simple design and similar to the existing retail set up of the shopping centre, making use of signage similar to that previously used on site."
