SUMMERDALE, Ala. — Looking for a new sofa? Maybe a new-to-you kitchen set for your home or condo. How about tools, appliances, electrical stuff, light fixtures, ceiling fans or tiles and assorted bric-a-brac?

Then head to the recently moved ReStore, now located in 12,000 square feet at 108 Highway 59 in Summerdale. The store just moved from its last location in Robertsdale.

“This is the single largest fundraiser for Habitat,” said, Cliff Barros, Habitat for Humanity of Baldwin County director. He estimated that profits from the ReStore pays for the construction of at least one new house a year.

The organization changed location, Barros says, because the store, located in the former NFL building is, “Visible from both sides of the road.”

The store, which sells new and used hardware, appliances home decor and home furnishings, receives items from “big box” stores and donations from the general public.

A display of area rugs brought “oohs and “aaahs” from a pair of women shoppers. The rugs are new from a nearby store and were in a number of attractive patterns and colors. Other shoppers were eying the “scratch and dent” appliances available on the floor for considerable savings.

Having heat and air conditioning throughout the store is going to be a blessing, says Sandra Folan, the store’s manager. That was sketchy at the old location, and she’s glad to have those utilities in one big, open building. The previous store was in two separate buildings.

Not that it hasn’t been a lot of work.

“We started (organizing the move) Nov. 16,” said Folan. She added that she and the volunteers finished the night before the store opened Jan. 6.

The store has seen some changes since it opened in Foley in 2003.

“I saw the first ReStore open in 2003,” John Glenn, a past president of the Habitat board said.

He recalled flooding and mud at that location and said the move to Robertsdale, “made good progress.”

Barrios said the organization had not intended to move this soon, but the new location, ”just fell into place.”

“This is a beautiful setting,” Glenn said. “I know God is going to bless us.”

He added that the ReStore was in need of volunteers, and while the home building part of the operation might receive more publicity, volunteers in the store were just as important.

To volunteer for the ReStore or to make a donation (the store can pick up items), call (251) 989-6422.

The ReStore hours will be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturday.
