Welcome to the Emmaus Oxford Secondhand Superstore!
Emmaus Oxford already has its own furniture store, in advance of opening our residential building. The community furniture store formerly run by OCVA was transferred to Emmaus Oxford as of 1st June 2008 and has since undergone some refurbishment and rebranding.
The store is currently open 9.30am - 3.30pm, Monday - Friday. There is an answer machine outside opening hours (and sometimes within, at particularly busy times). Although in due course it is hoped to extend these hours still further, they already provide twice the shopping time available when Emmaus took over the store!
The existing staff and volunteers - along with some new volunteers we're glad to have welcomed on board - continue to operate the store for us. Please bear with us all if we're not able to offer as good a service as we and you would like: they're all working really hard and there's a huge amount to be done to keep on top of everything! Sales figures had increased even prior to the opening hours extension. Once our Companions - as our residents are known - start moving into the completed residential building - during the second half of March - they'll be working at the store too and the whole thing will develop enormously.
The postal address is Westlands Drive, Northway Estate, Oxford OX3 9QY. The Secondhand Superstore is next to the tower block, at the junction with Sutton Road. A map and directions can be readily obtained from your prefered website, but we even have our own map for you to download!
