Over the years the ReStore has gotten many regular customers. Many are landlords or house flippers who buy items for repairs or furniture to stage a house. Homeowners who need to make repairs on a budget have made the ReStore a frequent stop. We also have a number of people who simply like to come in often to check out bargains and see what unusual items we have available.
Some people come so often we worry about them if we don't see them for a while.
The most regular of our customers has his dog, Lucy, with him wherever he goes. Lucy has gotten to the point that she feels comfortable running around the store and introducing herself to everyone she sees. This occasionally causes a problem with customers who doesn't like dogs but Lucy is usually quickly distracted by someone else to meet.
Lucy especially enjoys seeing the staff members she has gotten to know over time. She seems to think Habitat employs a staff of people just to pet her. She'll head to the office area to see everyone and to get a dog biscuit which we always keep in the breakroom for her. However, Lucy always runs when she hears her owner call.
