About Us
Hi, we’re Craig and Jayme — the faces behind Less Than Retail.
What started as buying a pallet or two of clearance stock has grown into a proper shop here on Church Street in Runcorn. From day one, our mission has been simple: to bring people great value by offering returned items, overstock, and end-of-line bargains at prices that make sense.
We’re not a big chain, we’re a family-run business. Some days you’ll find us serving behind the counter, other days unpacking boxes, and sometimes our kids are in too, “helping” (or creating chaos, depending on how you look at it 🙈).
When you shop with us, you’re not just grabbing a bargain, you’re supporting a local family business that puts its heart into everything we do.
What You’ll Find
- Everyday essentials at unbeatable prices
- Homeware, toys, seasonal stock, and quirky one-offs
- Mystery boxes and bundle deals for those who like surprises
- Bulk and job-lot offers through WhatsApp for trade buys
Our Promise
We’ll always aim to keep our prices fair, our service friendly, and our stock exciting. We know shopping clearance and returns can sometimes feel like a gamble, so we work hard to check our items (to a reasonable extent) and be upfront about what we sell.
A Big Thank You
We’re proud to be part of the Runcorn community, and we’re grateful to every customer who visits the shop, orders online, or shares our posts. Without you, we wouldn’t be here.
Thanks for being part of our journey, and we can’t wait to see what bargains you discover next!
— Craig, Jayme & family
