Duncan: Habitat for Humanity ReStore

We did a shopping trip to Duncan last week.  Naturally, we started early so we could visit the fine local thrift stores an visited all of them save for WINGS III (not open until noon, and the Seventh Day Adventist outside of town (not open that day).

We did make a note to drop in on the new Habitat for Humanity Mid-Island chapter's ReStore on Government Street.  This new store occupies what used to be a hardware and plumbing store.  Lots of free parking out front.  The store is a little smaller than I expected and deals entirely with hardware and furniture so no housewares (or clothes) here.  Perhaps a little too early to say what prices are like.

On another note, the for-profit thrift store on EJ Hughes Place around from the provincial government building, or court house, has totally disappeared, building and all.

Imminent closure: Abbotsford and Chilliwack ReStores

For some reason, there is some disagreement in Habitat for Humanity and its Upper Fraser Valley chapter with the result that the two ReStores in Abbotsford and Chilliwack will be closing this Saturday
