Friday, April 8, was an exciting day for bargain hunters and prospective Habitat homeowners in Dickson. The Dickson Division of Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity and the Dickson County Chamber of Commerce hosted a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the new ReStore resale outlet at 223 Dickson Plaza Dr. The store is open to the public and so far sales have exceeded expectations.
“Over the past two months, we have been getting settled in our new office space and collecting donated items for the store,” said Chris Greene, director of the Dickson division of NAHFH. “Our ReStore manager, Robert Scarlett, has prepared the interior of the store and arranged the merchandise to create a pleasant experience for shoppers hunting for treasures and bargains. ReStore enables us to offer great deals to the public while raising needed funds to help build more Habitat homes in Dickson County. The expanded office space allows us to better serve the community through our HomeWorks education program.”
ReStore sells new and gently used home-related items and building materials at generous discounts to the public. All proceeds are used to build Habitat homes in Dickson, and recycled merchandise conserves space at the landfill. All merchandise at the ReStore in Dickson is donated by local individuals, businesses and organizations. Those wishing to donate items can bring them to the Dickson Habitat ReStore or call 615-446-4385 to arrange pick-up for large items.
