Lancaster Habitat ReStore has relocated its donation center and retail store to a new, leased building at 1061 Manheim Pike in Lancaster and celebrated its new space with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening on June 22. Additionally, Lancaster Lebanon Habitat for Humanity has moved its office from Fairview Avenue in downtown Lancaster into the upper level of the new ReStore building. The move marks the first time that the two teams will operate in the same space.

The building, developed by Deerin Companies and built by Scenic Ridge Construction, will offer ReStore 33,180 square feet of retail space, as compared to the 19,760 square feet at its previous location at 155 Independence Court in Lancaster. The Habitat office will have 5,236 square feet to house its 10-member staff. The store also features 156 parking spots, a designated donation drop-off area, electric car charging stations, and training space for its volunteer program. ReStore manager Ben Mathus plans to regularly schedule food trucks at the store for customers' enjoyment.

ReStore accepts and resells gently used and new home goods and building materials. Proceeds from sales directly support Lancaster Lebanon Habitat's affordable homeownership mission throughout Lancaster and Lebanon counties. The store had been located off Route 30 since 2003. Habitat leadership made a decision to relocate the store due to sales growth and increase in donation procurement over the past several years.

ReStore will be open on Tuesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a shift to one hour later than previous operations to better serve customer demand. The Habitat program team will operate from the building on Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was followed by the store's official grand opening for the public. The event included food trucks and live music by Seraphin Soul, featuring Ian Sanchez-Herasme, also known as PINK i. Sanchez-Herasme was a former ReStore employee and had written original music for the store, including a new jingle about its relocation.
