FAQ's

A social enterprise is a business with social objectives. As a social enterprise, Bloom Op Shop pledges 100% of our profits to local charities every quarter, as well as engaging in mutual aid in our local community.

We're putting on our accounting hats for a moment. Profit is what is left over after overheads (like rent, utilities, day-to-day expenses) and wages are paid from the revenue we receive.
The only 'free' thing we receive are donations and sorting assistance from volunteers sometimes, we must pay for everything else!

Everything in our op shop is $15 or less. We have a growing $2 section, and once stock levels allow, we will open the only permanent pay-per-kilo section in an op shop in QLD

Please see our Clothing Intake/Recycling page!

This is one of our most frequently asked questions. As an op shop, we rely on donations to stock our shelves and racks, so have no control over what we receive. We regularly do callouts for plus size and men's clothing, which is our most requested items, and at any time have a range from 4-24.

We accept items during our opening hours at our Newstead location!
