Shop at ReStore
There are currently 61 ReStore locations across Canada with at least one in every province, with the exception of Newfoundland and Labrador. ReStores sell quality used and surplus building materials as well as kitchen cabinets, furniture and major appliances at a fraction of retail prices. The Habitat HRM ReStore has been in operation since 2006. It is located at 121 Ilsley Avenue in the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia (fronting on Burnside Drive).
