Definitely worth a visit (or thirty). ReStore is much more than a "home improvement store". Since they "recycle" goods from personal and commercial donations, you never know, from one day to the next, what they'll have in stock. The inventory is added constantly, as they get it. Remember, they sell what they get donated, so there's no guarantee that you'll find what you need.
ReStore prices are usually very good, considering that the goods are donated (but you should still check 😉). They use a "discount", color-coded pricing structure -- tags are blue, pink, yellow, or green. Depending on the day you are there, you may find an item at "full 100% price" (still better than retail); 25% off; 50% off; or even 75% OFF! But, unless you want to gamble, and miss out on that "perfect couch"🤔 -- I suggest that you buy it while you're there 😊. Besides, it's for charity! Your purchases help support Habitat for Humanity, and that's good thing - it also allows me to feel better about buying something, when I know I don't really need it 😁
I always make a beeline to the tool section. There are new tools, used tools, and even vintage tools (if you're lucky). Lots of hardware and fittings; some lumber and building odds and ends; electrical, lamps, outlets; plumbing, shower, bathroom; outdoor, lawn & garden; flooring; paint, tiles, cleaning supplies, etc.
Lots of furniture: Dining room sets; shelving units; kitchen stuff; bedrooms; couches, recliners, chairs; outdoor furniture; etc. Plenty of stuff to fill your walls and shelves: Knick-knacks; paintings and sculptures; vases; etc.
And, the next time you visit, there will be many different items waiting for you. That couch may still be there - at 75% off... but don't...
Read moreSince I learned about Habitat for Humanity Restore, I stop in every so often just to see what merchandise they have. I ALWAYS BROWSE AT RESTORE FIRST when I need something specific for my home such as a window screen, ceramic tile, small appliance, lamp shade, hard wear, even light bulbs! I've made several purchases there so far .. two ceiling fans, a coffee maker, wooden armchair, sconces, window blinds, and a variety of hardware like hinges, drawer pulls and light bulbs. Never had a problem. I LOVE that my purchase is a contribution to a fantastic charitable organization in our community. I LOVE the the merchandise is all donated and I commend the contractors, property managers, private individuals, etc for doing that. I LOVE that everything is good quality, like new, great prices. It's all reusable home improvementstuff. I LOVE that the majority of staff are volunteers. Everyone is helpful and courteous! If they don't know the answer, they very quickly find someone that does. I've often had conversations with the volunteers and it shows that THEY LOVE IT. They must learn so much about home improvements and repair and really get an education!! I LOVE that I get an education every time that I'm there by inquiring about the product or have a HOW TO DO question. And if you don't know the exact measurements of something you need, someone we'll grab a tape measure for you! I rate Habitat for Humanity ReStore OUTSTANDING. Shop at Restore... You won't believe what...
Read moreLove it helpful. Always a surprise awaits to see what was new. If you haven't been there for awhile they have any new pricing system. Where you take the tag off half of it for furniture and then take it to the counter and then pay for it and then you get your item well I lost out on a piece because apparently the cashier wasn't mine. M and ended up losing out on a really nice entry table. Did take something else in his place but not nearly as nice as what I had select it. Not mad they are nice they just need to be a little more mindful with the new system. Do donate to the old one but haven't lately but they will be getting more stuff for me in the near future. But if you're looking for furniture appliances Electrical Plumbing anything really you may find it there at quite a discounted rate. And sometimes they even have brand new furniture available. Also check the hours I don't know if they ever change from time to time but they are not open Sunday Monday and Tuesday I believe. Thanks again for a nice...
