The Reject Shop has been quietly offering interior enthusiasts a chic homewares range with remarkably affordable price tags that rivals Kmart.
The Australian discount chain experienced a huge increase in sales, driven by shoppers panic-buying during the coronavirus crisis – making it one of a few retailers to flourish during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Monday, broker Morgan Stanley predicted the retailer’s stock in shares could climb from $300million to $3billion over the next decade.
And it’s not hard to see why the retailer has become one of the most successful budget chains, which has 351 stores across Australia, in recent months.

Other shoppers revealed they were able to re-organise their entire pantry cupboards, using canisters and food labels from The Reject Shop.

Another added: ‘Spent time doing some more organising in the pantry. How good is being organised? White containers and clear containers as well as the spice jars are all from The Reject Shop.’
