Background: ReStores are home improvement outlets open to the public. ReStores sell new and gently used building materials, appliances, cabinets, furniture, flooring, lighting, plumbing, and hardware. Everything in ReStores is donated by individuals, builders, remodelers, businesses, wholesalers, or manufacturers. Donated items are resold at 50%-70% off retail prices with all proceeds going to support Habitat in building more homes. In the process, all the donated items are kept out of landfills. Donations are tax deductible.

The first ReStore in the Twin Cities is at 510 County Road D in New Brighton, one block West of 35W. During ReStore’s last fiscal year, the store earned enough to be the primary construction partners for six new Habitat homes.

The second ReStore, at 2700 Minnehaha Avenue, three blocks north of Lake Street, will make shopping, donating, or volunteering at ReStore more convenient for every one in the south metro. The 23,000 square foot store will provide revenue in support of Twin Cities Habitat’s new strategic plan to dramatically increase the number of families Habitat can partner with in becoming homeowners.
