Chip and Joanna Gaines say tearful goodbye to 'Fixer Upper'
Chip and Joanna Gaines said their goodbyes to 'Fixer Upper' during the hit HGTV show's final episode, thanking viewers for their support and even reminiscing about Chip and Joanna's first date, which included a magnolia tree.
Fear not, “Fixer Upper” fans — though Chip and Joanna Gaines may be considering moving their Magnolia headquarters, the base camp for their white-hot construction and design brand would be slated to move just five blocks away, if the deal goes through.
On Oct. 14, Country Living reported that the former HGTV stars made the revelation in a recent interview with the Waco Tribune-Herald.
HOME BUILT BY CHIP AND JOANNA GAINES, PRE-'FIXER UPPER,' GOING UP FOR SALE
According to the outlet, the parents of five have made a $1.1 million offer for the 90-year-old Grand Karem Shrine Building in downtown Waco. The lofty, three-floor structure features a “Moorish-style arched entry and a ballroom large enough for hundreds,” House Beautiful reports, and would be a logical next step for the Gaines’ thriving business. Over 30,000 fans are said to visit Magnolia Market each week!
“We’re contemplating how to make it work as our new headquarters,” Chip, 43, told the Tribune-Herald of the possible move. “We haven’t closed on the property, but we’re seriously considering it.”
He further noted that moving their HQ to downtown Waco would be a "cool thing" for the community, Southern Living reports.
