New Walsall Acorns superstore opens providing Christmas cheer for customers
A new store offering a huge range of furniture, household goods and a dedicated book reading area has opened its doors with the aim of helping raise much needed funds for charity.
The massive new Acorns superstore opened its doors in Walsall on Tuesday in what is the charity’s first ever store on a retail park.
The shop on Bescot Retail Park in Walsall measures 10,000 sq. ft. total space and has a dedicated area for donations received, along with free parking, while volunteers are also being sought to help sort through stock and help with the day-to-day operations of the superstore.
The store, which is the eight Acorns store, is open from 9am to 8pm from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 7pm on Saturdays and from 10am to 4pm on Sundays and donation points have been set up outside the unit, giving supporters an easy way to drop off good-quality items and help keep the shelves stocked.
In the run-up to Christmas, the store was full of people looking for Christmas gifts, household bargains and just to come and support Acorns, which provides specialist palliative care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and support for their families.
Among those visiting was Mandy Goode from Walsall, who said she had been a supporter of Acorns in the past and was keen to have a look around the store.
