The 10,000 square feet charity shop, which opens on the site of the former Primark in Abington Street, features a high-end women’s boutique, a used white goods section, and a Tardis fitted with a turntable to sample the store’s second-hand vinyl selection.

Salvation Army says the store will help bring regeneration back to east end of the Northampton high street.

“The town centre is struggling and I think people will want to come and see what this store has to offer. You won’t be able to take it all in on your first visit.”

The shop also serves as a link for people to access Salvation Army services by asking in store.

There is also a cafe stocked with equipment donated by Costa Coffee.
