With a week of its three-week season to go, the Whanganui Women's Refuge pop-up shop Charity CHEST has already exceeded its income target.
"I can't give figures but it went off with a bang," co-ordinator Carla Jayne Smith said.
"Our opening night was packed and we had a big crowd
waiting outside for us to open.
"It's been very popular and we've had people coming in once, twice, three times a week. There's a buzz in the air and the community support is incredible.
"There's a lot of amazing clothing from weekend wear through to formal. We've had all ages coming in. The whole shopping experience is about making it easy for people to shop."
