Magnolia Market at the Silos

# Magnolia Market at the Silos

Magnolia Market at the Silos is the flagship destination in Waco crafted by Chip and Joanna Gaines. Housed in a beautifully restored grain mill and adjacent vintage silos, it’s a place where you can shop, snack, relax, and soak in a little Waco history—all for free.

## What to Expect

### 🛍️ Shopping & Seasonal Decor

Inside the sprawling 12,000 sq ft retail barn, you’ll find home decor, kitchenware, gardening tools, apparel, and seasonal installations curated by Joanna Gaines herself. Every visit brings fresh displays and Insta-worthy vignettes.

### 🍰 Food Trucks, Bakery & Coffee

On the lawn between silos, you’ve got plenty of food trucks, picnic seating, and the delightful Silos Baking Co., ideal for a cupcake fix. Magnolia Press, the in-house coffee shop, opens early (7 am) if you want caffeine before your shopping spree.

### ⚾ A Bit of Waco History

Explore the small Wiffle ball field that honors the old Katy Park—Waco’s former minor league ballpark where legends like Babe Ruth once played. Nearby is a restored 1894 white chapel and a barn relocated from Canada in the 1870s—all blending Waco’s past with modern flair.
