Lakeshore Habitat For Humanity cut the ribbon Monday, June 20, on its new Re-Store in Allegan, at 1513 Lincoln Road.Providing building materials, appliances and home furnishings for as little as 50 percent of retail cost, the Re-Store's profits help fund the nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry's mission: partnering with families in need to build homes.
Lakeshore Habitat Re-Store director Chris Tucker said the business had been in the planning for a year and renovations to the 6,800-square-foot building took seven weeks. It will be open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed Sunday).
Store manager Chad Bryson said he was getting a lot of positive feedback from the community.
"I think the store fills a niche," Bryson said, "especially now, with the job losses and gas prices. We're the perfect place to shop."
Habitat Re-Stores are stocked with items other stores and contractors donate (or discontinue); they are not defective.
