Habitat for Humanity of Collin County ReStore McKinney

I’m trying to get a dining room table and chairs with a beautiful hutch in excellent condition and they want to charge me 165.00 dollars to come get it for them to make money.LOL

Restore is located between my house and HD and Lowes in McKinney so it's a no-brainer. It's a thrift store for hairy legged DIY-ers - male and female. A variety of used and new items priced at a fraction of retail. Ask for Charles. He went above and beyond to help me out. He'll do the same for you.

I drove towards the Receiving Door to donate a good gas dryer. When I approached the drive, there was an older man sitting in a “Habitat for Humanity” box truck blocking the drive. He was eating an apple. I lightly bumped the horn to get his attention. I waited for him to see me and move, but that didn’t happen.

Again I lightly bumped my horn to get his attention. He looked right at me and continued eating his apple. He wasn’t budging and didn’t care that he was blocking the drive.

I approached very slowly and moved my mirror in trying to get my vehicle by. I bumped the horn again. He just watched me. He never moved. I squeezed by.

I parked and walked in to find someone to help me unload the dryer. I found a woman who called to get a man to help us unload the dryer. A man came walking by after about 10 minutes. She asked if he would help. He gladly said Yes and lowered my tailgate.

The older man with the apple hopped out of his box truck with his apple still in hand and angrily told the man not to help us, that “she needs to learn.” He was demanding, hateful, unashamed of making a hostile environment for everyone.

If he behaves like that on property, he is certainly worse when he is picking up things at peoples houses. I can only imagine how poorly he treats his helper. He probably has road rage and expresses his entitlement and control wherever he goes. He shouldn’t be trusted with any authority at all. Certainly not over people. He is a very angry man.

The woman who was trying to find help to unload the dryer, was upset and shaken. She didn’t deserve that. Nor did the helper. Nor did I.

My husband and I have shopped here for years. The staff is friendly and we’ve found some awesome deals on a variety of things.
Helping our neighbors is the icing on the cake.

Disappointed in this store lately. I have been donating and shopping here for 6+ years. Recently I think they had some management changes because it seems like overnight the prices skyrocketed. I was in there today and they wanted $250 for a small dresser that had scratches, broken parts and drawers falling out/off track. This no longer seems like the resale shop it once was. I use to donate my old furniture then go in and buy new furniture to fix up and replace it. I can’t tell you the last time I actually walked out of there with something. It use to be my favorite place to recommend to people. Now it’s just a little too expensive for what it is.

Great place to shop for a hidden gem. I found a great office desk and file cabinet that was brand new and sold at Costco for 600 and I got it for 250. I have purchased various pieces of furniture that just needed some cleanup. And I have my eye out for various pieces for remodeling projects. And donate your furniture and extra building materials here. The go to a great cause

We move to McKinney nearly twelve years ago and have consistently checked the Restore for products to supplement our various remodels. Several houses later, we are very satisfied.

You need to visit frequently to patch good deals because other shoppers will them before you. My top items include stained glass lamps, antique furniture (know how to pick selected pieces - rare find) and vintage tools.

Prices have a tiered markdowns system by color. If you don't like the price then wait a few days. At that point, don't be afraid to haggle.
