The charity shop of the Arran Cancer Support Trust (ArCaS) store located at Brodick ferry terminal reopened on Monday following a month long closure for some essential works to be completed and a redesign of the shop.
But they quickly became a victim of their own success and have had to temporarily suspend donations while the sort out the huge amount of goods which have poured into the shop since it reopened.
The store has a brand new laminate floor, replacing the worn carpet, as well as newly painted walls and a new counter area.
Shop manager Lisa Remmington said: 'I can't thank the volunteers and the small band of community minded people who came in and helped with the refurbishment.
'The shop looks so much brighter and spacious and the wooden flooring makes a lot more sense considering the footfall the shop gets, especially during the summer months.
'I would like to thank all our customers for their patience and let them know that we are open again, unfortunately we are unable to take any more donations at the moment as we are fit to burst, but we will let people know as soon as we can.'
One customer said: 'It's great to see the shop reopen. I realised how much I missed it when it was closed.'
Funds raised from the sale of donated goods goes towards providing services for cancer patients on the island which includes transport to and from hospital appointments on the mainland and on Arran, free ferry travel for patients and a companion, and complementary therapies and counselling.
Established in 1989, the well supported and cherished charity shop has been located at the pier premises since 2001 and is open from 11am to 4pm from Monday through to Saturday.
