Habitat for Humanity
First stop is the Habitat for Humanity. This is a big shop and even has an area on another level. Lots of clothes and second hand home decor and kitchen things. Often has some retro and vintage items too.
IHC
Around the corner from Habitat is the IHC shop this is a smaller shop but has a lot of everything except furniture. A bright cheery store jam packed with second hand goodies.
Franklin Hospice Shop
Further up the main street of Pukekohe is the Franklin Hospice shop. This is quite a small shop with a little of everything but also no furniture. I’ve often managed to find a bargain or two when shopping here.
Salvation Army
Practically next door to the hospice shop is Salvation Army. This is another big shop but its all on one level. It has a lot of everything including furniture. The day I visited they had some nice pieces but you have to be quick to grab them.
Hato Hone St John Retail Store
This was the last shop I visited is not in the central shopping area so you will have to take a drive. A slightly smaller shop but again a bit of everything. The only thing I bought was this lovely vase which is a personal item for now.

Map and other Stores to visit
As always there may be other shops I didn’t visit due to hours or type of product sold. If you want to visit the 5 Pukekohe Op Shops you can find them on this handy map. Also while in the area make sure to pop over to Waiuku and visit the shops there. Happy treasure hunting.
