Habitat is thrilled to announce our acquisition of a wonderful new location for our HABITAT ReStore operation. Thanks to one of our donors Grosvenor Lodge is being purchased and donated to Habitat. The building is located next to the fire station on King Street with lots of parking opportunities close by.

​

The building offers lots of great retail space and plenty of exposure as much of the Hamilton traffic passes by there on their way out of town. In addition its location in the southeast Hamilton empowerment zone provides a range of government savings including land tax , and various import duties on materials used to refurbish the building. Having said that there is very little needed as far as renovations are concerned as the building is in great shape with very attractive open beamed ceilings.

​

The ReStore plays a significant role in financing our projects. Last year we completed the Residential Treatment Centre in Sommerset, a two apartment complex in Devonshire as well as 4 single family home renovation projects largely funded by the ReStore.

​

As we prepare to open ( in early March) we are offering an initial opportunity to some our furniture donors to sell through us by way of consignment. This is not something we have ever done before but this will offer our customers a range of more exclusive items as we begin to rebuild our inventory.

​

Of course we will miss our previous location in the BLUCKS building but sadly it was falling down around us and we were worried about the safety of our customers and our wonderful volunteers. Speaking of volunteers… what would we ever do without them! Because of them we have a great business model!!

​

Without having to pay staff and with most of our inventory donated we are able to keep prices very affordable while still funding our projects!

If you have items to donate or would like to talk about consignment drop us a line at Habitat.bermuda@gmail.com.
