A discount supermarket aimed at helping financially stretched families is due to close next month.

NotJust a Store, located in Westgate Retail Park on the Bath Road, sells surplus and rejected stock from big-name suppliers at a fraction of their original retail cost.

It is part of a national non-profit organisation seeking to help those in need and save goods from landfill.

Since November 2023, NotJust A Store took up a vacant shop in the retail park as part of an initiative to lower rates and insurance for the landlord while the unit was empty.

However, with the news of a long term business getting ready to take over the unit, NotJust A Store now has to move out and find a new place.

The last day of trading at Westgate Retail Park is May 17.

A spokesperson for NotJust A Store said: "Our not-for-profit planet saving project hops from shop to shop and helps large landlords mitigate their rates - this particular property has now found a long term tenant and so we get three months notice - then we move to the next place.

"If you know of any long term empty buildings then give us a shout and we might even be able to stay in Slough."

The charity added that they have 80 pallets of food and aid which will need to be moved by the closing date.

A "mega sale" has seen everything reduced to 50p, with the charity pushing "everything must go" on social media.

Founder Lea Beven added: "Our journey has been nothing short of amazing, thanks to your unwavering support and enthusiasm."

NotJust A Store has been dubbed a "social supermarket, open to every member of the public, with no membership or referral needed.

A lot of the food sold by the supermarket is past its 'best before' date - not to be confused with the 'use-by' date in which food becomes illegal to sell.

As a result, a lot of the food and items are sold at discounted prices.

Other items on site are ‘available for a donation’, where customers can choose how much they wish to donate - including a community fridge and freezer.

Alice Bathie, 24, previously said: "We save roughly 100 tonnes of food past its best before destined for landfill every month which is still perfect and tasty and safe to eat.

"A lot of it is quite discounted. You can fill up a basket with us for £5 which is £15 elsewhere.

"A lot of people in severe crisis are referred to us to pick items up for free."
