Due to rising costs, Hancock County’s Habitat for Humanity chapter will close its thrift store on Route 1 in Ellsworth this summer. The ReStore, which sells new and used furniture, appliances, home goods and building materials, will shut down at 218 Downeast Highway on Aug. 17. Erratic donation of sale items also contributed to the decision to close the store, said the executive director for the Hancock County chapter of Habitat for Humanity, Kelley Ellsworth.
