'Fixer Upper' stars Chip and Joanna Gaines to open garden shop, expand business with God's blessing

Chip and Joanna Gaines, the Christian stars of HGTV's show "Fixer Upper," will soon be opening their own garden shop in Waco, Texas.

The couple made the announcement on their Instagram account (@magnolia) with a photo of their latest project. "Our newest addition to the Silos grounds is the garden shop, Magnolia Seed and Supply! We will have a make your own fairy garden section, seeds, and supplies to tend to your garden. Come and see us when the shop opens on April 25!"

Magnolia Market will be a part of Silos, which they opened back in October. Joanna shares on her personal blog that their property will also include a bakery, food trucks, a garden, and lawn complete with comfy chairs and games for the whole family in the future.

"On the weekends you can find our lawn filled with families playing lawn games, so we've added a swing set, giant jenga, cornhole, hula hoops, jump ropes and more to the mix," she says.

Joanna encourages people to visit their property, but warned them to first "wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water before and during your visit."

"For those of you planning a visit to the Silos this summer, we hope you enjoy! More is coming and the bakery will open in just a couple months, so stay tuned for even more!" she adds.

The Gaines family says they have been blessed by God, and they use every opportunity to bring all glory to Him. When Chip earlier spoke with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, he said the secret to their success is in prioritising God.

"Our family has made a commitment to put Christ first, a lifestyle our parents modeled for us very well. They showed us how to keep our marriage and family centred around God," he said, according to the Gospel Herald.

They have been flipping homes for 13 years, and just recently, they expanded their business into real estate, construction, design, and furnishing.

The couple will also be sharing their story in the upcoming book "The Magnolia Story," which is written by their collaborator Mark Dagostino.
