About the sale of Spike's ReStore
Spike’s ReStore, located at 201 Johnson Street in Statesboro, was one of the first Habitat ReStores in the country. It was established in 1994 under the original name “Habitat Home.”
The store's primary purpose was to raise funds to support Habitat for Humanity's home-building efforts. In 2014, the store was renamed in honor of Spike Jones, a Georgia Southern professor and longtime Habitat board member who helped launch the store through his volunteer work.
The decision to sell the ReStore was not made lightly, according to Habitat Bulloch's current Executive Director Kathy Jenkins.
While the ReStore has played a crucial role in raising funds, the financial reality has shifted. The building and land on which the ReStore operates are worth more than the store makes in ten years of profit.
Selling the property will provide Habitat with the necessary funds to move forward with three homes currently in progress on Henry Street.
Habitat for Humanity of Bulloch County is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions.
