The Pembroke Regional Hospital Auxiliary is bringing its Pop-Up Gift Shop back to the Pembroke Mall for the 2025 holiday season, opening this Friday, Nov. 28, across from Coles.
Long known as a hidden gem, the Auxiliary’s shop features unique, hard-to-find items—from winter apparel and jewelry to festive décor and gift ideas for all ages.
Following it’s Black Friday debut from 5 to 8 p.m., the Pop-Up Gift Shop will run weekends from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout the four weekends leading up to Christmas.
Each week will also feature a progressive sale on regular-priced merchandise, with discounts increasing from 20% to 50% by the final weekend. The same promotions will be offered at the Auxiliary’s in-hospital Gift Shop.
For more than 60 years, Auxiliary volunteers have supported hospital upgrades and equipment not covered by provincial funding, while also enhancing patient comfort and staff spaces.
The Pop-Up Gift Shop will be open Nov. 28 from 5–8 p.m., and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 29–30, Dec. 6–7, Dec. 13–14 and Dec. 20–21.
