A 'department store for second-hand' is back with a new pop-up store on Friday, March 24, at The Oracle in Reading, following its success in London, which raised over £300,000 for charities.

Charity Super.Mkt exceeded expectations when it opened at Brent Cross, with over 40,000 second-hand items sold in 41 days of trading, and over 26,000 customers buying pre-loved clothes and accessories from household names including Zara , Ralph Lauren and Burberry.

The business model enabled the charities to collaborate for the first time and attract new customers in a fun shopping environment with DJs on the weekend.
