Bowen Op Shop Grand Reopening

The Bowen Neighbourhood Centre are pleased to announce the grand opening of the new and improved Bowen Community Op Shop! The shop will be open from 8am to 2.30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. All proceeds from the shop go directly back into supporting the Bowen community, ensuring that the funds raised help local programs and initiatives.

Since its inception 15 years ago, the Bowen Community Op Shop, also known as the Shed Shop, has raised vital funds for 83 organisations and community groups in the Bowen and Collinsville region.

This wonderful charity shop plays a key role in supporting local initiatives such as the Bowen Community Garden, ensuring it remains open to the public, and recently, it also helped a Bowen High School student attend university as part of our "Grow Our Own Workforce" program.

By shopping with them, you're not just finding great bargains — you're directly contributing to the growth and wellbeing of our community,

So, come visit the new and improved Bowen Community Op Shop, grab a bargain, and take part in this fantastic opportunity to support your community while enjoying the great deals they have on offer.
