Update: Masks are now optional regardless of vaccination status. This applies to shoppers, staff, volunteers, donors, and other partners. 

We've updated our guidelines to keep everyone safe while browsing the aisles. Here are a few pointers to keep safety a top priority while shopping:

  • Check store hours. Both ReStore locations are open Tuesday to Saturday. Stop by well before closing to make the most of your trip! For current hours or changes in hours, visit our location page here.

  • If you want, wear a mask. Masking is now up to you! Masks are optional regardless of vaccination status. However, we encourage mask usage when a situation calls for it.

  • Maintain safe distances. Be conscientious of other folks in the store – both shoppers and staff. Create safe distance between yourself and others as needed. 

  • Stay home if you don't feel well. We know it hurts to pass up a great deal, but your health is worth it. (And so is ours!) If you're not feeling well, stay home. 

  •  Check out our social media. Visit our Facebook page or the ReStore Instagram profile to see what kind of items you'll find at ReStore. Inventory changes by the hour, though, so make a plan to stop in!
