SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – The new Habitat ReStore has opened with everything from furnishings to tools and yes, even kitchen sinks.
During the last few months, the location on the corner of Gutierrez Street and State Street has been taking in donations.
The team has been sorting, tagging, and displaying it all in an orderly way.
When the ribbon snapped at a morning ceremony, city and downtown leaders said it will be a way to generate more foot traffic in the 400 block of State Street and help to recharge the area.
Robin Elander is the Executive Director of the Downtown Santa Barbara Improvement Association. She was checking out the deals and sharing how the store is a good fit. “The retail mix with restaurants a lot of new developments is going to go a long way to the revitalization of downtown district.”
