In September 1992, the first Habitat for Humanity ReStore in the U.S. opened its doors in Austin, Texas. At that time, the Habitat ReStores were known to sell building materials only. Today, with approximately 500 stores strong in 3 countries and growing, the Habitat ReStores sell everything from household items to furniture to building materials.
