Instead of using selenium to store the text why not try just grabbing the information and storing it into your own variable.

element_to_store = driver.find_element_by_class_name("class name").text()

Lets say you use class name and .text() to find an element and its text value. once you use element_to_store to find the text, you can then use element_to_store and call it when you need it as its value is the .text() string of the element you searched for.
