An Oxfordshire zero-waste shop is set to move to a bigger, better location within Castle Quay.
Nothing But Footprints, which was created by Daniel Ludlow and Violeta Martin Garcia, is set to move to a new site next to Bodycare - five years after opening in Banbury.
The expansion will allow the shop to extend its product range, improve accessibility, and offer a new, visitor-friendly layout.
The store is set to open no later than November 1.
Co-owner Mr Ludlow said: "This new store is a huge milestone for us, allowing us to offer a more enjoyable experience to our customers.
"We’re incredibly humbled by the community support we’ve received during this move.
"Over 40 volunteers showed up on Sunday night, and we emptied the old unit in just over an hour.
"People gave up their time to paint walls, build furniture, lift flooring, and move stock – we truly couldn’t have done it without them.
"Their support has been incredible, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this happen."
To celebrate the grand reopening, the shop will host a Christmas preview evening on November 8.
The event, which will run between 6pm and 8pm, will offer customers a first look at the store's seasonal items.
There will also be festive treats, mulled wine, and exclusive discounts.
The shop was created in 2015 after Mr Ludlow attended a Green Fair in the South Downs.
The event, which was filled with live music, market stalls, and eco-focused workshops, inspired him to bring a dedicated refill shop to Banbury.
The shop now offers more than 1,500 sustainably sourced products, including package-free foods, household cleaning products, and plastic-free items for the home.
Oliver Wren, centre director at Castle Quay, said: "The team’s vision for Nothing But Footprints has made a real impact on our community, and it’s fantastic to see a local business thrive and grow right here in the heart of Banbury.
"Their success is a prime example of how local businesses can grow in our town centre, bringing something unique to Castle Quay while championing a sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle."
The new store will feature wider aisles, an increased product range, and dedicated seasonal items, including pre-measured Christmas cake kits.
The new location will also have the shop's life-sized cut-out of Sir David Attenborough.
