One Stop has celebrated the opening of its 1,000th store.
The new store, based in Wolverhamption, was officially opened by the Mayor of Wolverhampton, Cllr Sandra Samuels OBE and One Stop managing director Sarah Lawler.
The first 100 customers received goodie bags, with £20 One Stop vouchers hidden all around the store for customers to find. On top of this, there were cakes and sandwiches available for all, with Warburtons supporting the opening, giving away 100s of goodie bags to customers.
Also in attendance were 10 local charities from the Wolverhampton area, each receiving a £1,000 donation from One Stop. These donations follow on from the retailers recent fundraising and donation milestone figure of £10 million raised over the last 10 years.
As part of the event, One Stop unveiled a bench which they are donating to the local community, made from the company’s recycled plastics and was created in partnership with Veolia.
Sarah Lawler, One Stop managing director, said: “The opening of our 1,000th store was a wonderful milestone for us, and it’s been great to share with our customers, colleagues and the general public. I was delighted to see all of the activities we planned for the day really come together; the true reward was seeing how engaged the local community was throughout the event.
“This was also a great opportunity to meet some of the many local charities we help every year, and it was humbling to hear the challenges these charities and community groups face every day,” she added. “Another big thank-you to everyone involved with today, including our customers and suppliers, a huge thank you to goes to all of our colleagues for their support, not with just this store but every store that’s come before.”
