Summary/Abstract: Social economy has provided us with many solutions for people in need. One such solution or answer to these needs is the social store. The term social store is less known than the terms second hand store or economat-type store used in the past few years. By providing flexibility in its range of goods and services, the social store can play an active role in the community, enabling its customers, people in need or regular people, to interact and get to know each other better, and thus facilitating possible future donations or other types of support.
