Franklin Hospice Shop

Decent selection of finds between clothing and homewares but incredibly overpriced. Womens t-shirts are twice the price of men's for no reason ($10 vs $5). Dresses are a blanket $20 unless priced higher (some at $40 for seed or zara brands). Many items you could buy new on sale for a similar price, if not cheaper. Compared to op shops around it the prices are horrific and unaffordable. Disappointing as they could be getting so much more support as people would actually purchase items instead of leaving due to high prices.

An absolute gem of a store! with a fantastic selection of treasures to browse. The layout is beautifully organized, making it easy to explore all the unique finds. The staff are friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do. A must-visit for bargain hunters and vintage lovers alike!

I've been a regular at this opshop for the last 4 years hoping things might change but the prices are getting higher and higher. The last thing I purchased was cheaper to buy knew (wish I'd checker online first). Several times I've seen people walk in who are in need, look at the price tags, gasp at the prices and walk out disappointed. The service is awful-judgemental and rude, you're lucky to get a greeting. I would leave this one off your Puke opshop trip-stick to the Salvos a couple doors up and the St Johns. If you want to support Hospice make a donation.

While this shop is rather small, it will always be my go-to op shop. My interactions with the staff have always been wonderful as the women who volunteer there are lovely. I find the pricing to be very reasonable and even if it is a tad more expensive than others in the area, it's good to remember that 75% of the profits go to the Franklin Hospice (with the remaining 25% supporting the running of the store). My mum passed away from a terminal illness in the care of a hospice where they made her passing comfortable and peaceful. Hospices are an incredibly important and valuable service and it's absolutely worth it to give that little bit extra.

Staff were very rude when we dropped off donations. We did all the heavy lifting and it was no hassle for them at all. It felt like an inconvenience that we were bringing stuff in to donate. The lady closed the gate on us without a thank you before even asking if we were finished bringing stuff in which we weren’t. Had a perfectly working printer that we brought in and we were told rudely that they didn’t take electronics. We didn’t know that and that is completely fine but they could have been nice about it. Wish we took out stuff somewhere else.
