Our Towns Habitat for Humanity has finalized its long-anticipated lease to open a second re-Store in the former Staples location on N.C. 150 in Mooresville.
Located behind Wendy’s and in front of Wal-Mart, the location will be the second ReStore in the Lake Norman area. The Cornelius location will also remain open for business.
Our Towns Habitat announced in July it planned to open a ReStoreat the N.C. 150 site in Mooresville.
“This is an amazing addition to an already profitable venture for Our Towns Habitat for Humanity,” says Terry Laney, Executive Director. “Our current location just surpassed $1 million dollars in sales this past fiscal year,” he continued, “and has proven successful and stable.” The flagship location on N. Main Street in Cornelius has been in operation for over 7 years. The original store opened in 1992 in downtown Davidson, then moved to an adjacent location in Cornelius and then finally into the current location.
The flagship location, managed by M.C. Laney for the past several years is supported by 150+ volunteers who donate over 1100 volunteer hours a month to make the location successful. “If it were not for our amazing volunteers and staff at the flagship location, we would not be as successful as we are,” said M.C. Laney. “Their commitment, loyalty and love have pushed this ReStore to the top of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore list nationwide,” she continued, “we are one of the top in volunteers utilized and in the top 15 in sales.” There are now over 700 ReStore locations in the United States.
According to Mrs. Laney they have received an overwhelming response to the opening of a second location in Mooresville. “The Mooresville residents have expressed excitement about the new location,” she said, “according to the comments…they can’t wait for us to open.”
The Our Towns Habitat for Humanity ReStore currently covers all of the overhead expenses for the affiliate, provides funding to help families in the area and guarantees that 100% of the donor dollars goes to eliminating substandard housing locally and globally. “The ReStore income will provide a greater opportunity for our team to serve more families through new builds and through our ReHabitat program,” said Terry Laney.
Our Towns Habitat for Humanity currently has possession of the new location and is working to prepare the store for a Grand Opening in October of this year. “Donations are needed to stock both locations,” said M.C. Laney, “we are collecting items now at the current location in Cornelius Tuesday –Saturday.” For more information or to schedule a ReStore pickup email mc_laney@ourtownshabitat.org or call 704.896.8957, extension 1110.
