CAN Can Bazaar is our retail chain. We currently have three wonderful shops; the main street of Ballymoney, Broughshane Street in Ballymena and Kingsgate Street in Coleraine. CAN Can Bazaar is one of our Social Enterprise projects and works closely with WE CAN.
All of our stores share a boutique-style front, selling a wide range of items. This includes clothing and accessories that are “previously loved”, never worn and vintage. Women’s, men’s and kids’ clothes and shoes are available to buy from both our outlets, we also sell works by local crafters.

Jane
Retail Development Manager
Jane runs the shop in Ballymoney and gets to exercise her creativity through the shop window displays and the boutique -style appearance of the outlet. Jane helps to make an income for the shop which goes directly to CAN and works closely with our recycling & upcycling teams and local craft workers to provide the best quality products for our customers.
“We are very proud of our Bazaar, we’re a little bit different! The shop doesn’t stop with the trainees, the ones who don’t work with us also benefit from coming into the shop because we’re just one big family, it’s a whole camaraderie!”
Tracy
Retail Skills Coach
Tracy works in our CAN CAN Bazaar shop working directly with the members, empowering them to learn and develop an array of transferable skills such as retail, social skills, health & safety and housekeeping. Working with the WE CAN project, her main goal is to help them progress on to paid or voluntary work.
“CAN is very much a tailored, person-centred organisation and the benefits the members receive are absolutely countless – the shop is all about them and they’re always first in our minds in anything we do. This job has really opened my mind, it has changed my mindset for the better and has taught me patience. Over lockdown I’ve missed them so much it’s unbelievable!”
