Habitat for Humanity – ReStore South

ReStore South, at 4004-99 Street NW in Edmonton’s south side near the Argyll and Southgate area, is one of four Habitat for Humanity Edmonton ReStore locations operating within the city, alongside North, West, and a St. Albert store, plus a fifth in nearby Leduc. The store operates seven days a week from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed only on statutory holidays, giving shoppers a wide window to browse a constantly rotating stock of donated furniture, major and small appliances, cabinetry, doors, windows, lighting, flooring, and hardware pulled from home renovations, new home overstock, and household donations across the Edmonton region. The ReStore concept itself has deep Canadian roots: it began in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1991 and has since grown into hundreds of locations across Canada and the United States, all built on the same premise of reselling donated building materials and household goods at a steep discount while diverting reusable items from landfills. At the South Edmonton store, that means shoppers can furnish an apartment, stock a rental property, or find replacement parts for a kitchen renovation for a fraction of big box retail pricing, while donors dropping off items receive a charitable tax receipt for anything from a used dresser to leftover laminate flooring. After covering operating costs, all remaining ReStore revenue flows to Habitat for Humanity Edmonton to fund its core mission of building and renovating homes for local families who partner with the organization through sweat equity and affordable mortgage terms. Because donations come in daily and inventory is never static, frequent visits reward shoppers looking for a specific item like a particular appliance size or a run of matching kitchen cabinets, while first time visitors are often surprised by the range of merchandise on the floor, from vintage furniture to brand new tile samples donated by local suppliers. The South store’s Kitchen Salvage service also lets people arrange to have usable cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures removed from a kitchen before a renovation begins, rather than sending it straight to the landfill, giving renovating homeowners an easy way to donate large built in items that would otherwise be difficult to drop off. Subscribers to ReStore’s newsletter get access to coupons and early notice of major donation drops, which matters in a store where popular items can sell within hours of hitting the floor. For anyone in south Edmonton looking to shop sustainably, save money on a renovation, or simply browse a constantly changing secondhand marketplace for home goods, the 99 Street location offers a full seven day schedule that fits around work and weekend routines alike. ReStore South at 4004-99 Street NW is a Habitat for Humanity Edmonton discount outlet open seven days a week from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., selling donated furniture, appliances, and building materials at deep discounts to fund affordable housing for local families.
