Coleman Emerson is a patient man.
The executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Rowan County spent five or six years searching for a new and larger space for Habitat’s ReStore operation. The store fairly quickly outgrew its original downtown location at 125 E. Innes St., which opened 13 years ago.
“It’s been a dream of Habitat for a number of years to expand the retail store,” Emerson said.
With the grand opening of a spacious new store Saturday, that dream has come to full fruition.
