British Heart Foundation is thrilled to announce the opening of its brand-new 10,000 square-foot Home Store in Taunton. The charity is inviting the local community to come along, explore the space and discover the great selection of homeware items on offer, and support life-saving research.

Located in the former Argos building on East Street next to Primark, the new store marks a welcome return for BHF in Taunton, following the closure of its previous Home Store five years ago. With a fresh new team and a fantastic location, the shop is set to become a vibrant hub for sustainable shopping in the town centre.

Shoppers can expect an impressive range of quality preloved and new items, including stylish sofas and suites, pine bedroom furniture, and a wide selection of white goods. The store also features ex-display beds from a major retailer, a wider range of new lounge and bedroom furniture, and a brand-new collection of vacuum-packed mattresses ready to take home. But you’ll need to be quick to snap them up!

Dan Wood, Area Manager at British Heart Foundation, said: “We’re so excited to be opening our new Home Store in the heart of Taunton. It’s fantastic to be back in town, especially in such a prime location on East Street. Our team has worked incredibly hard to get everything ready, and we can’t wait to welcome customers old and new through our doors. By shopping and donating with us, you’re helping to fund vital research that keeps hearts beating and joining the Reuse Revolution - giving items a second life and supporting a more sustainable future.”

To celebrate the opening, BHF’s very own Hearty the mascot will be in attendance to help cut the ribbon and welcome the community.

The charity is also actively recruiting volunteers to join the team, with opportunities available both on the shop floor and in the warehouse. Whether you can spare a few hours a week or just want to get involved, BHF would love to hear from you.

The store is located at 32-33 East Street, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 3LS.
