Local tips
- Come on weekday late mornings for the calmest browsing; you’ll have more space to check sizes, inspect furniture and compare porcelain patterns.
- Ask staff about donation procedures if you plan to drop off items; clean, intact clothing, small furniture and kitchenware are usually the most useful.
- Have a rough list but stay flexible; the best finds are often unexpected, from a standout lamp to a stack of near-new paperbacks.
- If you spot something special, decide quickly—unique pieces rarely appear twice and stock on the floor changes daily.

Discover more about IGEN Op Shop
A bright charity shop in the heart of Herning
IGEN Op Shop sits on Nørregade, one of central Herning’s main shopping streets, but it feels more like a spacious living room than a typical thrift store. Covering around 600 square metres, the interior is open, tidy and easy to navigate, with clear sections for clothing, homewares and furniture. Natural light from the street windows and simple modern fittings give it an airy, welcoming feel that invites you to slow down and browse. Because the shop is part of the Danish Cancer Society’s network, there is a quiet sense of purpose behind the racks and shelves. Volunteers greet you at the door, chat at the counter and calmly restock displays, giving the place a warm, community-centred atmosphere rather than a rush-to-the-bargain mentality.From designer jackets to Danish porcelain
The variety is the first thing that stands out. One corner may be filled with men’s shirts and women’s dresses in current styles, while another holds winter coats, knitwear and children’s clothes. Rails are typically colour-sorted and seasonally adjusted, making it surprisingly easy to spot what you need. Homeware fans gravitate toward the shelves of porcelain, glass and kitchen utensils, where everyday plates sit alongside more decorative bowls and candleholders. Further in, larger furniture pieces—tables, chairs, sideboards and lamps—show how second-hand can outfit an entire apartment. A quieter area with books, small electronics and decorative objects rewards patient treasure hunters looking for that one quirky item.Reusing with impact for cancer support
Behind every donated lamp or jacket is a double story: reducing waste and funding cancer work. Proceeds support research, prevention campaigns and assistance for patients and relatives across Denmark, turning each purchase into a small act of solidarity. It is a practical illustration of how circular economy ideas play out in everyday life. The shop also functions as a local hub for donations. Residents drop off well-kept items during opening hours, knowing they will be sorted carefully before reaching the shop floor. This emphasis on quality means the selection tends to be in good condition, with many pieces ready to use immediately without repairs.Browsing rhythm and best visiting times
The layout encourages unhurried wandering. You might start with clothing near the entrance, then drift towards home décor and eventually test a vintage armchair in the furniture section. Weekday late mornings and early afternoons generally feel the most relaxed, giving ample space to examine fabrics, inspect ceramics or leaf through the book section. On Saturdays, the shorter opening window creates a livelier pace as locals combine a visit here with other errands in the city centre. Lunchtime can be particularly animated, with a steady stream of people scouting for both practical necessities and playful, one-of-a-kind pieces.Practical details for a smooth visit
The shop keeps straightforward hours: Monday to Friday from late morning to late afternoon, and a shorter session on Saturdays. It is ground-floor and step-free from the street, making access convenient for prams and most wheelchairs, though manoeuvring between furniture displays can feel a bit tight at times. Being right in Herning City, it fits naturally into a broader day of urban exploring—whether you are combining it with nearby cafés or other independent shops. Allow at least an hour if you like to check clothing sizes carefully and scan the housewares; dedicated treasure hunters can easily spend longer, especially when new stock has just arrived.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
