WEST NORRITON, PA — Just 10 months ago, the popular Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Montgomery County was rubble and ash. Next week, thanks in part to a cooperative community effort, the West Norriton discount retailer will reopen its doors. "It's been a long 10 months since this ReStore closed and our community has been patiently waiting for this day," Michael Mercer, Habitat for Humanity of MontDelco ReStore Director, said in a statement. The store, which sells new and gently used furniture, building materials, appliances, and home decor items, has been shut down since Nov. 2020 after an electrical fire ripped through it. The new and improved, 18,000 square foot store has fresh paint, energy efficient lighting, a new HVAC system, and more. More than 130 volunteers assisted in the rebuild. A ribbon cutting event will take place on Thursday, Aug. 19, at 10 a.m. Opening day will feature an hourly raffle as shoppers explore the newly renovated store. Habitat for Humanity MontDelco will also receive a $25,000 donation from Valley Forge Casino as part of the grand reopening. The store is located at 533 Foundry Road in West Norriton and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
