It’s hard to complain about too much of a good thing. Donated furniture, fixtures, appliances, building materials and home décor are the fuel of a Habitat ReStore, generating revenue that helps Habitat build more homes right here in Cape May County. We all know the ebbs and flows of life here at the shore – Labor Day hits and local summer begins. But at the ReStore, the phone starts ringing off the hook with tear-downs, clear outs, estate sales and panicked homeowners who need donations picked up yesterday. While year-round residents may be trying to catch their collective breath and regroup after the crazy summer months, our team is in overdrive trying to keep up with the increasing flow of new donated merchandise. What’s a ReStore to do? Launch a new markdown program, of course! Starting this Friday, Sept. 14 and Saturday, Sept. 15, new ReStore arrivals will receive new color price tags, identifying them as full-priced items. What this means is nearly EVERYTHING ELSE in the entire store will be marked down at once, and will go on sale for 25% off. After a few weeks, a third price tag color, then a fourth, will be introduced for new arrivals, and the remaining 25% off items will move to 50%, then 75% off. Since our goal is to make the products move FAST, don’t miss a one-time chance to shop the ReStore this weekend as we put nearly our entire current inventory on permanent sale!
Sea Isle City – I would like to let everyone know that the fire chief salary also includes 4% raises in the next four years, while they offered public works and everybody else much less.
