Paso Robles ReStore, located at 844 9th Street, is a unique retail concept that offers an extensive range of new and gently used appliances, furniture, building materials, tools, and more. By repurposing these items, the ReStore not only reduces waste but also provides affordable alternatives for those looking to furnish their homes or complete DIY projects.
The community’s enthusiasm was palpable even before the doors officially opened, with a line of 66 supporters well before the launch.
Customer Jennifer Robinson brought her two boys to the ReStore, and six-year-old Lake enjoyed the 1938 Ford Pickup, which has been repurposed as a custom flatbed table. Robinson was glad to find a few other items.” I used to donate and today I am buying a sink and fertilizer,” she said, “I am glad you are open again.”
To donate, contact the Paso Robles ReStore at (805) 434-0486 with questions or simply email a photo and description to restorenorth@habitatslo.org for consideration. The Paso Robles ReStore is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
