ReStore Permanently Closed Effective June 27, 2026
The local business community has struggled for years to find and keep employees, especially in retail and hospitality. Combined with online shopping and peer-to-peer sales platforms like Facebook Marketplace, these pressures continue impacting the retail sector.
As a retail outlet, Habitat ReStore had faced the exact same challenges. Given the continued forecast of declining revenue and increasing costs, we made the difficult decision to pivot away from ReStore operations.
While we loved our ReStores, our mission is to build homes. Our innovative approach has proven to be highly successful. We can build entire communities and create affordable housing options that allow people to live where they work. As we prepare to build more communities, we need to focus every dollar and every hour on our goal. As is true for so many affiliates nationwide, ReStore no longer contributed to the mission in the way that was originally intended. For that reason, we made the difficult decision to move out of retail operations to focus solely on home building and repairs.
Thank You!
We sincerely thank all those who have donated to, volunteered, and shopped at ReStore over the last 20 years. Please know that your support is more important than ever! We would love to have you volunteer, and we deeply appreciate your financial gifts. Stay tuned for news about upcoming new communities and ways we will help people in our three-county service area achieve the dream of homeownership.
