LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) — After two months of using a back entrance, the Lima Habitat for Humanity ReStore has reopened its main entrance following the completion of a new parking lot.
The upgrade was made possible in part by a donation of materials from Elite Concrete Solutions, which helped make the project financially feasible for the store. ReStore management said the old stone lot was in poor condition and long overdue for replacement.

“It’s actually a lot safer because we had potholes in the other lot that were becoming a significant problem, and it makes it easier for staff, volunteers, customers to wheel items out and load them,” said Benji Bergstrand, ReStore manager. “It’s just safer, more efficient, more attractive all around — a good thing.”
To celebrate the improvement, the ReStore will host a grand re-opening event on Wednesday, May 28, at 9:45 a.m. The public is invited to attend the celebration, which will include raffles, gift card giveaways, a food truck, and more throughout the day.
