Habitat for Humanity of Greater Fort Wayne ReStore — Attraction in Fort Wayne

Thought I'd give it another try . Sink and faucet combo we bought had defective faucet. Like split open from freezing defective not dripping defective . Nice young man on the phone said return for in store credit .I told him we just put new basket strainers etc on the sink how about I return just the faucet . OK but only half credit then . Sounds fair says I . When I returned to the store the young man was not to be found of course so I was relegated to the brusque short haired lady that runs the joint . She informs me that normally they don't back their faucets they are in the sink selling business and the faucets are a bonus . That's well and good if it's stated somewhere which it isn't . So anyway she did me the favor of honoring her employees word . When I got to the register I found she gave me credit for half the vanity sink which was cheaper than the kitchen sink . The girl said that's all they could do because they didn't know which sink it came off of . My thought is if you can't tell a kitchen faucet from a vanity faucet you should not be manageing a building supply store . This was not that big a deal except for all the wasted labor uninstalling the sink .This is the overall tone of the place however trying to squeeze every last nickel out it seems .

They are doing good for the community . The Goshen store has a much better selection. It would be a good idea for the manager to get on the phone and start asking cabinet companies to donate the old ones they take out when removing old cabinets, call local remodelers and ask for the items they remove when remodeling. The store looks like they rely on single homeowners for their donations so pickings are slim compared to the Goshen store. Fort Wayne is a big town and there is a lot of work my builders/remodelers, cabinet sellers to explode that store. Then the people who fix up houses and or their rentals would be in that store spending . That’s what I see in Goshen. I run into people who own rentals all the time and they are buying

I was disappointed to see they built a new store at a huge cost rather than finding an...

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Habitat! We had scheduled a pickup for a very large group of things from our antique shop that is closing. On the day of the pickup, a lady from Habitat called to say the truck was on the way, and they showed up right at the scheduled time with a large truck to accommodate all the stuff. They loaded things very quickly and efficiently. They also were very mindful of the nature of the antiques, and everything was loaded with care. Ty and Abby did a lot of work very quickly. We have always thought that Habitat is a very worthy cause, and wanted to support it as much as we can. The Restore is a great place to find unique items, and I would encourage anyone to check it out often. You never know what treasures...
