Victoria Closure: Habitat for Humanity ReStore Burnside

Sometime in the past few months,  Habitat for Humanity's Victoria chapter closed its 3rd location on Burnside Road (formerly occupied by a Home Hardware) that was newly-opened in the past 2 years.

Campbell River

Made a trip up to Campbell River to visit the thrift stores we have visited in the past and to visit some we've only recently become aware of.

The first store is the New Beginnings boutique of the Salvation Army.  Selling mostly clothes and accessories, this store is really obscured, hidden in the back of  a building without any signage in the front  You really have to look and be aware of where it is.  Free lot parking.

The next store is the ReStore on the north end of the new inland highway (southbound just south of the junction for Gold River).  It is a medium-sized stores but stocks a fair amount of housewares.  Charges reasonable prices. Free lot parking.

The third store is Transitions Used Furniture and More Store of the Campbell River and North Island Transition Society.  Despite its name (it does sell furniture), it has a lot of very nice housewares and collectibles,  Free street parking.
