The Beginning

He is a proprietor of Magnolia Homes in Waco, TX. He runs a few businesses in Waco, Texas, but Magnolia Market holds a special place in his and Joanna’s heart. The entire business idea was born completely out of a dream and Joanna believes it is only because a fiercely faithful, brave, and bold husband pushed her to pursue her dream that her dream ever came to be.

In 2003, the Gaines couple bought their “Little Shop on Bosque” and opened the first Magnolia Market. In that store, Joanna developed and sharpened her design style and skills, grew as a business owner, and gained confidence in Magnolia Market.

After the couple had their first two kids, they made the tough decision to close the Market and focus on growing and raising their family. During this time, they really honed in on Magnolia Homes for many years. Magnolia Homes is the family’s construction business.
