The Habitat for Humanity of Utah County’s ReStore Home Improvement Outlets in Orem and Spanish Fork celebrated their tenth and fourth birthdays respectively with a huge sale (25 percent off everything in the stores), giveaways, and refreshments this past weekend. The stores sell new and used building materials, appliances, and furniture at a discount to the public to help raise money to further the local Habitat’s affordable housing mission.
The Orem store, located at 340 South Orem Blvd. in Orem, was the first ReStore in Utah and was opened in 2007. Due to the Orem store’s success, the Spanish Fork store, located at 253 West Arrowhead Trail in Spanish Fork, was opened four years ago in April 2013. Both stores have kept millions of pound of waste out of the local landfills and have been very profitable. They continue to pay for a good portion of the operation costs for the stores and the affiliate. Habitat is currently looking to expand the Orem ReStore and is hoping to open third store in North County in the future.
