Muirkirk, East Ayrshire
Good things deserve another go.
Muir & Mend is a reuse-and-repair enterprise in Muirkirk. We clean, complete and repair suitable returned, unwanted and damaged goods, giving useful things another life instead of letting their story end with a torn box or a missing part.
Good in Store is our shopfront and wider project. Our first items will be listed very soon, bringing together fair prices, honest descriptions and a purpose rooted in our community.
Useful goods. Fair prices. Local opportunity.
A return is not always the end of an item’s useful life. Opened packaging, a cosmetic mark or a repairable fault can put otherwise valuable goods out of circulation. We look for the useful life that remains and do the work needed to make the most of it.
The goods matter, and so do the opportunities around them. Our aim is to turn the value we recover into practical experience, affordable purchases and, as the enterprise grows, paid local work.

Good in StoreGood in Store opens very soon.
Our first stock is being prepared for sale. Expect an evolving selection shaped by what we recover, with clear information about condition, completeness and the work each item has needed.
Some goods will be offered at a fixed price, while selected items may go to auction. The aim is straightforward: useful things at sensible prices, with the value of each sale helping the enterprise move forward.
Visit the shop pageThere is more than one way to make a difference.
A repaired item needs a good photograph, an accurate listing and someone to help it reach its next owner. A growing community enterprise also needs creative ideas, organised records, reliable communication and people willing to share what they know.
We welcome interest in practical, creative, digital, administrative and customer-facing work. Tell us what you enjoy, what you can contribute and what you would like to learn.
Get involvedHelp give the work room to grow.
We are looking for partners with suitable stock, space, specialist knowledge or start-up support. A secure storage area, a place to work, an agreed supply of recoverable goods or help with essential equipment can make a practical difference.
Our roots are in Muirkirk. We want the work and opportunity we build here to remain here, supported by relationships that are useful to our partners as well as to the community.
