Habitat For Humanity Restore North

The selection is unpredictable, as the stock is dependent upon donations. If you can find what you need, the prices tend to be very good. The money goes to a good cause as well.

Where do you go when you need a miscellaneous item (like an old window frame) for a craft? Well, I usually start off at the Habitat Restore! Most people in there seem to be doing home renos or things of the sort, but I love these stores for the cheap knick knacks you can find!
On this particular visit, I didn’t find the old wooden window frame I was envisioning, but I sure did find a bunch of old cabinet doors without glass in them. Same deal! I’ll be stringing some wire in the back and making a vision board of sorts out of them.
The very first Restore I ever visited was the one in Calgary when it first opened. It was soooo well organized! This one was also well organized, and signage for pricing was pretty easy to see, but it wasn’t quite as big and didn’t have as much variety. So, three stars for them.
But very helpful and friendly staff and prices you can’t really beat.
This location is a little hard to get into if you’re not familiar with the area. If you’re coming down the Yellowhead from the west, you’ll want to take the 82 St turnoff and then continue on like you’re pulling a U-​turn to head back westward rather than heading up 82 St north. That’ll bring you by the access road to the business area on your right.

Edmonton’s Habitat For Humanity Restore North (a.k.a. Restore) is a fabulous find for anyone looking to do any home renos and redecorating.
The premise of the store is a donation centre for Habitat For Humanity. People and companies donate building items, either new, slightly damaged or used, which the Restore sells are majorly discounted prices. The profits are donated to Habitat For Humanity specifically for building Habitat For Humanity homes in Edmonton and area. We’re talking everything from cabinets still in the box, lighting, flooring, fixtures, plumbing, electrical and on and on.
Like many stores of this nature you need to go with an open mind and the time to look through their stock. As such the stock is never the same and you never know what treasure you’ll find.
