As a routine customer of the Habitat for Humanity Restore in Newmarket, I have to say that I enjoy going there each and every time. Not only is the store well organized and clean, but the staff are absolutely amazing to deal with. They always greet me with a smile, know me by name and vice versa. They are truly a pleasure to deal with and amazing at what they do! Ron and Laura in particular, go that extra mile in my opinion. I have to say that as a whole, the staff and volunteers are always so helpful, the hunt for amazing finds is always a blast, as you never know what you are going to leave with om any given day. I have never come to Restore and not purchased something, and I plan to continue supporting such a wonderful cause for many more years to come. I love knowing that I am supporting such a wonderful initiative that not only helps builds homes for those in need, but at the same time, provides household items at a fraction of the cost to many people who otherwise could not afford to furnish/renovate their homes. The price of the high quality items you find are also extremely reasonable, so please do not try and barter to have the price reduced. Firstly, doing so is not going to get you a reduction in the price, but also takes away from the objective at hand; to bring in money to help build homes to set individuals and families up for success! I have personally never felt buyers remorse after shopping at Habitat for Humanity Restore in Newmarket, because it is all for the cause!!! If you haven't visited and supported the Newmarket location, I urge you to do so because you won't be disappointed with the products or service you receive! 11/10 overall!!!!!! Thanks Habitat for Humanity Restore Newmarket Staff and volunteers! Keep on, keeping on! You are all doing wonderful work and I look forward to continuing to be a routine customer!!!!! Sincerely, Ashley B (hardware and antique furniture enthusiest)Read more
