For locals and visitors alike, the Orbost Op Shop is more than just a place to browse for bargains – it’s a vibrant community hub filled with heart, history and hidden treasures.
For more than 10 years, the op shop has offered a purposeful alternative for those looking to donate their pre-loved belongings.
In return, shoppers are treated to a trove of second-hand goods, from clothing and accessories to furniture, books, toys and household items, all at affordable prices.
But behind the charming storefront lies something even more valuable: a deep commitment to giving back.
Thanks to the generosity of the local community and the tireless dedication of its volunteers, the Orbost Op Shop has contributed approximately half a million dollars to community projects and local causes over the past decade.
All profits go directly back into the local community.
The op shop welcomes donations of good quality, second-hand items and encourages locals to drop in and say hello when making contributions.
Beyond its economic and environmental impact, through recycling and repurposing goods that might otherwise end up in landfill, the shop also serves as a warm, welcoming space where people can connect, chat and enjoy the thrill of the unexpected find.
Each visit promises a discovery: a quirky antique, a long-lost book, a vintage jacket, or simply a smile from a friendly face.
The Orbost Op Shop is open to the public from 10am to 3pm on weekdays, and from 10am to 12pm on Saturdays.
With every sale and every donation, it continues to prove that small-town spirit, kindness and community support can make a lasting difference.
