In August 2007, Habitat for Humanity of Jessamine County expanded it's retail complex to nearly 20,000 square feet and opened "The Vendors' Habitat" flea market, the first concept of it's kind for Habitat for Humanity. The Vendors' Habitat was introduced to attract new customers and try to save the jobs of those lost after the closing of "Peddlers Mall." Attached to the ReStore, the new area houses nearly 70 vendors, selling their own goods, and donating a portion of their sales back to Habitat.
The area between the ReStore and The Vendors' Habitat became known as "The Commons" area. Here, Habitat for Humanity of Jessamine County hosts various shows and activities to attract the public and create awareness of Habitat. This area is used for concerts, dog shows, art and craft fairs, ministry projects, Health and Wellness fairs and much more.
