The store in King Edward St closed yesterday after about 18 years in business.
Salvation Army southern division family store consultant Robyn Tsukigawa, of Christchurch, said the store's "loyal and hard-working'' manager and a part-time staff member had been made redundant.
"That's the unfortunate thing.''
It was also sad for store volunteers who enjoyed spending time in their "home away from home''.

"There are a lot of other charity shops around.''
When the lease was due for renewal "we decided it would be prudent to close the shop''.
"While we're disappointed with it, it's just the way it is,'' Ms Tsukigawa said.
The store sold clothing, furniture, and bric-a-brac.
