SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) - The new Habitat ReStore has opened with everything from furnishings to tools and yes, even kitchen sinks.
During the last few months, the location on the corner of Gutierrez Street and State Street has been taking in donations.
The team has been sorting, tagging, and displaying it all in an orderly. way.
When the ribbon snapped at a morning ceremony, city and downtown leaders said it will be a way to generate more foot traffic in the 400 block of State Street and help to recharge the area.
Deals were being brought up to the counter within minutes including doors, desks, light fixtures, chairs, art pieces, appliances and hand tools as low as $1.00.
Chief Executive Officer Jessica de L'Arbre says it will be a place for donations, a place for affordable purchases and a financial stream for the Habitat for Humanity home projects throughout the area.
For those dropping off items, "it could be you are doing a kitchen remodel or you have an old tool," she said. For buyers, "there's some high quality stuff."
The plan took time to sort out but the desire was very high.
"I don't have the words to describe the level of enthusiasm for this store, from the donors who can't wait to donate or who have been following up asking when they can shop," said de L'Arbre.
Many customers picked up items at a fraction of the cost of a major retail or hardware store.
The ReStore was previously located in Goleta but closed there just over six years ago.
