Oxfam Ireland’s Navan shop to reopen following major refurbishment

Oxfam Ireland’s Navan shop is set to reopen this Monday, 25th May following a four-week refurbishment that will see the store completely transformed for customers and volunteers alike.

The refurbishment includes a full refit of the shop floor, meaning the Navan store will reopen with a new look and feel. The renovation is based on the same successful concept and styling as Oxfam Ireland’s Holywood Superstore, which opened in 2024.

The Navan shop has been part of the local community since September 1999, with customers and supporters alike adding to the vibrant store and its surrounding area.

Speaking ahead of the reopening, Oxfam Navan store manager Bridget Walsh said:

“We opened the Navan shop with just a handful of volunteers back in 1999, and today we have built that up to around 30 volunteers. Many of them have been with us for a long time and have been a huge part of the shop’s success in Navan. We’ve built up a very loyal customer base over the years, and many people have told us how excited they are to see the refurbished store. We’re really looking forward to reopening with a new look and continuing to be part of the Oxfam Navan community for many years to come.”

Trevor Anderson, Director of Trading at Oxfam Ireland, added:

“The Navan Oxfam store has gone through many changes since its opening over 25 years ago, but one thing that has not changed is its hard-working team of loyal volunteers - guided and inspired by their leader, Bridget. We are confident the investment we are making in the Navan store will attract even more volunteers, customers and donors.”

Oxfam Ireland shops play a vital role in supporting the global organisation’s work to tackle poverty and inequality, while also promoting responsible shopping and giving high-quality donated items a second life.

The refurbished Navan shop will continue to offer a wide range of preloved clothing, books, accessories and homeware, while providing a welcoming space for all in the area. A new look for the store, but the same local movement against textile waste.
