Habitat For Humanity ReStore

Seldom do I get particularly enthused over a visit to a thrift type store. My girlfriend, however, is a thrift aficionado. When she suggested that we should hit «first Friday «sale at Habitat for Humanity in Georgetown, I was slightly sceptical, but happy to go, just because it made her happy. She told me of the bargains in home improvement, which I do love, so, off we went from Salado. When we arrived, it wasn’t much to look at, but I tagged along. When we started looking at the offerings, the feeding frenzy began. I picked up so much stuff that I had wanted, but didn’t want to pay for, for next to nothing. Then there was the service. The staff are so happy to be there, and so accommodating, that you could just as well be in a fancy hardware store. Funny. In my experience, you can’t even get help when you pay full price. When it was all done, I had spent $ 175.00. If I had gone to a regular hardware store, which I do often, the price would have exceeded $ 1000.00. Special recognition goes out to Tiffany. She remembered my girlfriend’s name, hugged her, and generally went out of her way to make it a great experience. There are plenty of people who need the things I purchased way more than I do. Now, my curiosity satisfied, and my girlfriend’s Expedition full, we know where to take our lightly used furniture, for the purpose of donation. What an exemplary organization.

This is the best habitat for humanity location., everyone is so friendly and helpful going out of their way to assist… tiffany always has a on her face no matter how busy it is. she’s the greatest. we travel from Salado to see her at least once a month. big hugs to all and see you next time

I am writing to praise the people who work at this store. They are always wonderfully helpful and especially Yvonne who goes out of her way to make your shopping experience good. I have a relative who often volunteers at the store and he has told me many times how great a supervisor Yvonne is and how much he appreciates working for her. She seems to have a special talent for managing people. When employees (in this case volunteers) are happy, they make the shopping experience happy for the customers.
I have a neighbor who has remodeled his home and practically lives at the Restore! He has purchased doors, and fans and too many things to count at the Restore. It’s a great place for do-​it– yourselfers!

Really unique take on a thrift store. All items are home improvement related, dishwashers, light fixtures, knobs, lawn mowers, fuses, sinks, a bevy of bargains if one is looking for home improvements. This would be an amazing resource for builders or landlords who need practical items for build outs. Prices are VERY reasonable. (Dishwashers started at $ 30, microwaves from $ 20, light fixtures from $ 1.) And, of course, your purchase benefits a very worthwhile cause!
