WACO, Texas — Several local businesses are getting a shout-out by Chip and Joanna Gaines' company, Magnolia. On Monday, parts of the Waco area were highlighted in their new online tour guide, Visit Magnolia.
Visit Magnolia offers itineraries for day trips to weekend trips for visitors, but these can also serve as a helpful guide to new residents or locals looking for something to do.
While these itineraries stress on sightseeing the Magnolia properties, a "staff recs" list was compiled based on a survey by the company's workers when it came to some local favorites.
"We love our city, so we wanted to share some of our favorite spots with you," the staff favorites itinerary reads. It was based on a survey by Magnolia Staff.
