CHARITY store bosses had to stop accepting donations after being 'overwhelmed' with support from the public.
AGE UK's new store, at the site of a former kitchen and bathroom showroom on the corner of Walney Road and Wilkie Road, Barrow, officially opened yesterday.
Staff welcomed customers back to the new store, which is set over two floors, with a separate furniture showroom.
Operations manager Vicki Martin said: “We’re so excited to be finally opening today. The store looks great and we’ve got a range of fantastic items for shoppers.
“We’ve been overwhelmed with the response from the public. The kindness of our customers is something else. We even had to stop taking donations at one point because we had so many donations to process.
