Adds Fran Normann, Habitat for Humanity’s Executive Director,” With more staging, branding and merchandising, we want to reinvigorate the store with a fresh new look to capture younger shoppers as well as those online. Also, we aim to give our loyal customers, a new shopping adventure every time they come through the door.”
Teaming up with the Design Dot Founder Wunderlich, appears to be the perfect plan. “I believe that many of our clients have the ability to harness the art of design within themselves so DesignDot is there as a service for this journey much like I hope ReStore can do for its shoppers. Images and media are accessible inspiration these days…we help clients create and execute desired spaces,” adds Wunderlich.
