A Hub for Sustainable Shopping and Circular Economy
The De-Part-Mental Store represents a modern approach to retail, built on the principles of recycling and resource recovery. Rather than allowing perfectly usable items to end up in landfills, the store acquires goods from house clearances and gives them a second life. This commitment to sustainability extends beyond mere commerce—it reflects a philosophy that quality items deserve continued use and that shopping can be both economical and environmentally responsible. The store's name itself playfully captures this dual mission: a mental shift in how we approach consumption, paired with the practical work of departmentalizing and organizing goods for resale.An Eclectic Inventory for Every Need
Walking through The De-Part-Mental Store reveals an impressive diversity of merchandise. The inventory spans clothing and fashion items, furniture ranging from vintage pieces to contemporary designs, white goods and appliances, garden tools and outdoor equipment, vinyl records for music enthusiasts, books across numerous genres, decorative items including lamps, pictures, and mirrors, craft supplies, and seasonal decorations. This variety ensures that whether you're furnishing a home, searching for a specific book, hunting for retro vinyl, or simply browsing for unexpected discoveries, there's something to explore. The ever-changing stock—a natural consequence of sourcing from house clearances—means each visit offers new surprises and the thrill of potential finds.The Mental Kitchen: Fueling Your Shopping Experience
Integrated within the store is The Mental Kitchen, a café offering hot food and beverages. This addition transforms the shopping experience from a quick transaction into a leisurely outing, allowing visitors to rest, refuel, and socialize while browsing. The café creates a community atmosphere, encouraging customers to linger, chat with staff and fellow shoppers, and fully immerse themselves in the browsing experience without the pressure of time constraints.Location and Accessibility
Situated at Unit 1 Bromfield Industrial Estate on Stephen Gray Road in Mold, the store occupies a practical industrial setting that keeps overhead costs low—savings often reflected in competitive pricing. The location is accessible by vehicle with straightforward parking typical of industrial estates. The store operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, remaining closed only on Mondays, providing ample opportunity for both local regulars and visiting shoppers to visit.Community and Customer Experience
The De-Part-Mental Store has cultivated a reputation as a welcoming destination where bargain hunting meets community engagement. Regular customers appreciate the friendly staff, the thrill of discovering quality items at fraction of retail prices, and the knowledge that their purchases support a sustainable business model. The store's presence on online platforms, including a substantial eBay presence with thousands of items sold, demonstrates its reach beyond the physical location while maintaining its core identity as a brick-and-mortar destination.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
