ReStore Outlet (Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity ReStore) — Attraction in Minneapolis

I love, love, love the HfH Restore! If you are patient, you can find some absolute gems here at prices that cannot be beaten. The staff are very friendly and will do their absolute best to help you.

Bed bugs bed bugs bedbugs.

I bought a headboard about over a month ago. Ended up with bites on my body my mattress was brand new. I found little bugs I googled and bed bugs I go to store and complain basically was told no way it was from headboard. I call Adams pest control they come out said that's exactly where it came from. I call main office talk to Pete O'Keefe he basically said no way again pretty much said I have a dirty place. I ask for his manager he blew me off. I call CEO and no response. I now have a $700 bill for treatment and they don't even care. Stay away.. Oh funny thing is I spoke with Erin at main office he said they even had a outbreak of bedbugs there but nope no way there...
