Habitat Cabarrus ReStore — Local services in Kannapolis

There are those that turn their nose up at resale shops, but I'll be the first to tell you, I'm always willing to take a chance on finding a bargain...especially when it comes to buying and replacing furniture with 3 dogs and an 8 year old boy in our home! My favorite place to nose around is the very well organized Cabarrus Restore, as is has a wonderful selection of just about everything from lightbulbs and laminate flooring to leather sofas and bedroom suites! Compared to other Restores, I really like how this one is set-up like a "furniture show room," making it much easier to find what you're looking for, instead of wandering around a hodgepodge of random items. The overall quality of the furniture we have seen is in very good to excellent condition (some pieces are even brand new--returns from Wayfair and other retail stores). In the past year, we have purchased three pieces: a Haverty's leather sofa for $85; a wooden--not MDF!--high boy TV console for $125 (for a 65" TV with glass doors and three shelves); a brand new Bombay Company side table for $15, and a floor lamp w/shade for $8. (Along with LOTS of LED light bulbs and various odds and ends). The staff is comprised of some of the friendliest, most hard-working individuals we have ever met!! They are always welcoming as soon as you enter the store, and the gentlemen who are in charge of loading furniture in the warehouse are extremely helpful, and have even stood out in the rain with us, ratcheting down straps over tarps, as we loaded up our trailer!! Now that's honest dedication and true kindness that you won't find at most "big-box retail stores!" You never know what you're going to find at the Restore, but if you're willing to look around and if you're on a budget, then this place is most definitely worth your time and a great store to get amazing bargins... sometimes even on the...

This is by far the worst thrift store I've ever been in. Their prices are many times higher than retail. It's ridiculous how high their prices are for used items, many times with stains/holes/etc. Couches are $500-900! They have some "new" items for sale too, but they're all super high priced too. I used to shop at the Wake County Restore stores and loved how great their pricing was (It had colored coded system so things that had been there longer got cheaper as time went by) and when I asked why this one was so different, I was told it was due to each county running them differently. Well Cabarrus County's Habitat should be embarrassed. This store is awful - they had very used with peeling seats kid bikes for $40! A playhouse for $950!! Plus they sold a used 14 year old washer & dryer set for HIGHER than the original retail price. That's when I stopped buying there. I used to wonder why people would walk out empty handed all the time, but after seeing all those ridiculous prices, I get it. Not worth it, when you can buy new...

I am very disappointed in stores like this, this is Habitat for Humanity and I think they forgot that. When couches are 100-500 $ and they get them for free – these are supposed to be for families who really can’t afford couches or chairs or tables. Even though their prices are considerably lower than retail or chain stores, they’re still way too expensive for the people in the community that really need the furniture at a bargain price. it doesn’t matter if resellers are coming in and buying them at a bargain price and then reselling (a reason someone recently gave me for their high prices at a local goodwill) you’re still getting the business and making a profit off of an item you received for free. You are really here for your community, and unfortunately, because of silly reasons, you’re not doing them the service...
