ReStore outlet (Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity) — Local services in New Brighton

Generally a good experience. Several years ago Restore picked up a lot of furniture from my garage - excellent service! A couple of weeks ago I brought an overstuffed chair in very good condition to Restore. Because I had never been there before, I went inside and asked where I should go to have the chair unloaded. A gentleman went with me to my vehicle to see the chair, said to drive around the back and someone would unload it. The two men refused to unload it because the fabric was flowered and “would NOT sell!”. Even though I said I was told it would be unloaded- they stood there and did NOTHING to help. My husband and I are in our mid 80s and somewhat disabled. I asked if we could leave the chair IF we unloaded it. We STRUGGLED and finally got it out of our vehicle and INTO the warehouse. I did browse through the store— the Ethan Allen chair I donated was in far better condition than some of the chairs on the selling floor. It’s amazing to me that someone would not purchase the chair because of the subdued flowered fabric! If I had a photo, I would send it to you. That was my challenging experience; however, I will continue to donate to Restore. Thank you that Restore provides useful items to...

The Habitat for Humanity ReStore is, hands down, one of my favorite places to visit in the Twin Cities.

The amount of unique, high quality goods that are sold is astounding. Prices are fair, and the fact that purchases go towards Habitat almost make that a moot point anyway!

I have found gorgeous chandeliers, couches, tables, all completely unique and I'm great condition. Part of the fun in coming here is the intrigue - "What will I find today?!"

The staff are salt of the earth - Kat is so friendly and helpful, and makes each visit a joy with the energy and enthusiasm she brings. Everyone else I have ever interacted with there has been extremely helpful with any questions or with helping to load ridiculously oversized items into vehicles.

I am always happy to stop by the ReStore, both to check out the selection and to support Habitat. I plan to continue coming to ReStore as my primary housing supply outlet for many, many years. I hope you consider doing the same. Five stars,...

Covid safety practices were in place here. A sign at the entrance advised of a mask requirement while inside the store. Employees also adhered to this rule. The store is well organized. The areas of the store are clearly marked with hanging signs so you can find what it is you are looking for easily. Items for sale are clearly marked with a price as well as any special requirements, such as you have to load it yourself, no assistance from employees (this was for very large/heavy items). The items they had for sale were pretty clean. The furniture for sale is in good condition, especially considering it is used. The store itself was clean and well kept. Employees were friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Selection will vary from day to day so if you are looking for something specific you might need to make weekly trips to the store to check out new inventory. As far as Restores go this one is one of the better ones, if not the best, I have been to in...
