Habitat ReStore Peterborough South

well/used furnishings and an assortment of many household items....

Always something to find and good people for a good cause. Enjoy the hunt through stores like this.

We love ReStore. It is a fantastic place to find vintage furniture, games and books. We found some terrific wall art there as well. My only complaint is is the staff vary from pleasant to slow to surly.

Not a lot of stock, but fun to go check out. There isn't a cashier in sight... Waited over 5 minutes, no one came to the front. The Re-Store in Lindsay has much more stock if you're looking hard for something.

The store has once again changed staff. It has been the most unfortunate thing about them.

I have shopped with them many years now. I have benefited greatly from the supplies I found there. I always feel the loss when they change their staff.

They used to have a policy where they tracked the length of time something stayed on the shelves. The longer something sat, the price dropped. That policy seems to have been abandoned over the years.

So. For my vote as a working woman who struggles to pay bills, I feel for the staff who seem to lose the support of upper management to make this venture work for everyone including their own staff.

I thoroughly appreciate the concept of this group, however.
