Groundwork opens The Good Store

Upcycled and unique furniture is among the product on offer a new 6,000sqft department store with a focus on sustainability in Mayfair, London.

The store has been created by Groundwork London, one of a group of charities ‘mobilising practical community action on poverty and the environment,’ in partnership with the South Molton Street property owner Grosvenor.

The store carries a selection of sustainable products and brands including furniture, homeware, clothing, accessories, health and beauty and technology. 

The furniture department inclides Jay&Co, the restoration furniture business of Jay Blades, TV presenter of the BBC’s Repair Shop; social enterprise ThinkFound, which source hardwood fallen or felled in London and furniture from Groundwork’s The Loops workshops.

‘We could see that people have a strong desire for more sustainable options but the onus sits with the individual to go out and find them. We wanted to bring together these choices to show the breadth and depth of the developing sustainable market and traditional attitudes to reuse and repair in a way that creates an easy and enjoyable shopping experience. All profits will support our social reuse programmes, from which The Good Store was created, so that waste can be brought back to life by our teams and items provided to those who need them,’ says Fiona Brenner, Groundwork London strategic development manager.
