Habitat is opening its newest and largest ReStore retail store at 3210 S. McClintock Dr., Tempe, the northwest corner of Southern and McClintock. The Grand Opening with Ribbon Cutting is being held Saturday, April 21st on Earth Day, although the store itself is opening its doors for business in late March. Habitat has planned a host of Earth Day activities for Tempe ReStore’s Grand Opening Day. The Ribbon Cutting will take place at 8 a.m. and that’s when visitors will be able to gain entry to the store. From 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., KTAR’s popular home show “Rosie on the House” will broadcast live. The first 100 people to visit will each receive gift bags. Cartel Coffee will be on-site serving visitors their special brew, and there will be a variety of food trucks onhand with a range of specialties and raffle items. Habitat for Humanity ReStores are nonprofit retail home improvement stores open to the public, and donation centers, that sell new and gently used furniture, appliances, home accessories, building materials, paint, electrical and plumbing supplies, and more…all at a fraction of the retail price. This will be the fourth and largest Habitat ReStore location in the Greater Phoenix area, as well as the only ReStore location in the East Valley. Information regarding other Arizona locations can be found at habitatcaz.org/restore. Jason Barlow, president and CEO of Habitat, said, “Donations to ReStores save consumers money and raise valuable funds that contribute to Habitat’s mission of revitalizing neighborhoods and providing affordable housing for underserved areas. To date, Phoenixarea ReStores have kept 30 million pounds of usable products from being unnecessarily discarded in Arizona landfills. The Tempe ReStore is not only our newest and largest, it’s also our flagship store that will carry an outstanding selection of merchandise we believe will attract residents throughout the Valley.” When customers first visit ReStores, most are surprised to see the wide range of new and gently used merchandise that’s available, including washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, tubs, flooring, paint and carpeting, doors, cabinets, lighting fixtures and home furnishings. Habitat sells quality home supplies donated from local contractors, individuals and partner retail stores. Proceeds from sales help to support the mission of Habitat and to eliminate substandard housing in Central Arizona.” Habitat is accepting gently used donations. Anyone can schedule a free pick-up online at habitatcaz.org/restores or by calling 623-551-6000. Additionally, Habitat welcomes volunteers for ReStore locations.
