    Shopping for a cause

    Chic home shopping event returns to Dallas after COVID cancellation

    It's take two for Dallas' favorite home decor-shopping fundraiser. Dwell with Dignity's largest annual benefit, Thrift Studio, now will take place August 28-September 26 at The International on Turtle Creek, the organization says in a release.

    Originally planned for April prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the luxury home furnishings pop-up shop was canceled in March, and organizers pivoted quickly to an online format to earn some of the vital funds they needed to keep offering services. But they always intended to reschedule the in-person shopping event.

    DwD provides low-income families with home furnishings in permanent homes. Thrift Studio brings in $400,000 — 40 percent of DwD's annual revenue.

    “We are thrilled to finally open our doors to showcase the incredible work of our interior designers and artists while raising necessary funds," says DwD executive director Ashley Sharp in the release. "Thrift Studio provides one-third of the operating revenue that allows Dwell with Dignity to change lives through design by bringing good design to those who can afford it the least.”

    She notes that the venue is a massive 12,000-square-foot space that is social distancing-friendly. Shoppers will be required to wear masks and gloves (gloves provided by Dwell with Dignity) and practice six-foot social distancing. The organization will also provide contactless payment and a plastic divider at checkout. A professional disinfectant cleaning company will be used throughout Thrift Studio’s four-week run, they say.

    Thrift Studio showcases luxuriously furnished vignettes designed by North Texas’ top designers, showrooms, and retailers, as well as a curated selection of fine art from prestigious local artists. Everything on display is available for shoppers to purchase at deep discounts, with 100 percent of proceeds benefiting Dwell with Dignity.

    Shay Geyer of IBB Design serves as the Thrift Studio honorary chair, and ALG Collective’s four artists — Anna Curnes, Melissa Ellis, Annie Griffeth, and Christi Meril — serve as Art Co-Chairs.

    The interior designers lending their talents to the 2020 Thrift Studio include: Cathy Kincaid of Cathy Kincaid Interiors; Leslie Jenkins of Jenkins Interiors; Mia Brous, Kerri Goldfarb, and Louise Marsh of Madre Dallas; Monica Wilcox of Monica Wilcox Design; Morgan Farrow of Morgan Farrow Interiors; Josh Pickering of Pickering House Interiors; Twelve Twenty, and Lindley Whisenant Arthur of Lindley Arthur Interiors.

    In addition to the art chairs, the 2020 Thrift Studio artists include: Alec DeJesus, Ana Sadeh, Anne Beletic, Brandon Harris, Brenda Bogart, Carolyn Daniel, Charlie French, David L. Henderson, M.D., Ginger Ray Walker, Hannah Brown, Janie Stidham, Jenny Grumbles, Laura Goodson, Linda Chidsey, Lindsey Meyer, Marcy Cook, Melissa Auberty, Mione Plant, Rachel Nash, Ross von Rosenberg, and Taelor Fisher.

    The popular Thrift Studio VIP Preview Party will take place on two nights, August 26-27. However, the August 26 event is already sold out, leaving the party on August 27 (from 6-8 pm) a coveted ticket. Tickets are available for $125 each at the website. The party includes drinks, bites, live music, and a first-look shopping experience.

    Thrift Studio will be open Monday through Saturday, 10 am-5 pm, and is free to enter. For more information, visit the site.

    Discount chain BJ's Wholesale Club to open first Texas store in Forney

    A discount warehouse chain is about to make its official Texas debut: BJ’s Wholesale Club, a membership-based warehouse club from the Northeast, will open a location in Forney, at 11150 E. US Hwy. 80, with an opening date set for Friday, April 24.

    According to a release, an accompanying gas station will open on Friday, April 17.

    BJ’s offers value on everyday essentials in a convenient one-stop shop. Members save on fresh food, produce, full-service deli items, bakery goods, household essentials, home décor, pet supplies, toys, consumer electronics, and more. Members enjoy the "treasure-hunt" shopping experience, discovering new items on each visit.

    Headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts, the company pioneered the warehouse club model in New England in 1984 and currently operates 263 clubs and 201 BJ's Gas locations in 21 states.

    The Forney location will be BJ’s 264th club and 202nd gas station. The company plans to open three more Texas clubs --- in Waxahachie, southwest Fort Worth, and Grand Prairie — in the coming weeks, with Mesquite opening in a few months.

    “BJ’s Wholesale Club has been delivering unbeatable value and convenience to members for over 40 years,” says BJ’s Wholesale Club chairman and CEO Bob Eddy in a statement. “Launching our Texas operations is a milestone for our company, and we know our model of saving up to 25 percent off grocery store prices every day will resonate with families in Forney and across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We’re energized by the enthusiasm we’ve seen in the community and are eager to welcome families to BJ’s.”

    BJ’s members can choose from several convenient time-saving options, whether shopping online or in-club, which include curbside pickup, same-day delivery, and shipping ·available on BJs.com). Members shopping in-club can use ExpressPay through the BJ’s mobile app to scan products as they shop and skip the checkout line.

    Other perks include:
    • Low grocery prices: Members can save up to 25 percent off grocery store prices every day
    • Risk-free membership: Shoppers can try BJ’s risk-free with the company’s money-back guarantee
    • BJ’s coupons and manufacturers’ coupons: Members can combine BJ’s coupons with many manufacturers’ coupons to maximize savings

    BJ’s is committed to nourishing the communities it serves via overtures such as its partnership with Feeding America and its network of food banks, providing more than 165 million meals for those in need.

    Locally, BJ’s is supporting Forney Food Pantry with a $25,000 grant to further support access, storage, and distribution of nutritious food and hygiene supplies.

    To celebrate the opening, the new BJ’s Gas location at 11150 E US Hwy. 80 in Forney will offer members gas at $2 per gallon for one day only on Wednesday, April 22, from 6:30 am-6 pm. The promotion applies to regular gas and has a 30-gallon limit.

    Shoppers who haven’t joined can sign up here. Limited-time membership offers start at $20 for one year and include 10 cents off per gallon at BJ’s Gas for the first six months after the club opens.
