Habitat ReStore to open on Minnehaha

A Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity ReStore will open later this summer in South Minneapolis at 2700 Minnehaha Ave. The ReStore is a home improvement outlet that sells donated new and used building materials to the public at deep discounts.

Twin Cities Habitat’s first ReStore in New Brighton, 510 County Rd. D W., has seen a surge in sales over the past three years and this new location will expand their reach.

“We are excited to add to the growing hub of reuse and repurpose-minded retailers that have congregated within this part of town, transforming it into the Minnehaha Mile Shopping District,” says Pete O’Keefe, ReStore Operations Senior Manager. “We wanted a location that was easy to find and easy to get to. We need plenty of parking and a building that will make for a great shopping and donating experience. I think we found it.”

The new ReStore will be accessible from Highway 55 (Hiawatha Ave.), the Blue Line, Metro Transit bus routes 21 and 7, and the Midtown Greenway Bike Path. The store will be just SE of Martin Olav Sabo bike bridge over Hiawatha-Hwy 55, and directly behind the gold aluminum mesh wrap of the Xcel Energy substation.
