Today: Graceworks and Habitat ReStore Visits

Kayleigh and Nila hanging out at ReStore
 This is Zakk Sellers. Today we took a trip into Franklin to visit a couple of different stores that I may be working at in the near future. We visited Graceworks and Habitat ReStore.
Graceworks is a store that helps the local community by providing clothing, furniture, food and financial help at very reasonable prices. When people come into the store to purchase items that money goes to help the locals in the community that need assitance with food and clothing. I enjoyed my time at Graceworks. We were given a tour of the whole facility and were able to see how their business is ran. I like the food pantry area.

After we visited Graceworks, we went to the Habitat ReStore. It's a large wareshouse that sells discounted housewares, appliances, furniture and lighting. All the money raised through the sells of the products in the store go towards the cost of building Habitat houses in the local community and throughout the state. Although, it was full of good home products I was not interested in this being a future worksite for me.
