Customers Invited To New Store For Inspiration, Design Advice And Giveaways
Specialty home décor retailer Kirkland’s will celebrate the grand opening of its new store at SummitWoods Crossing in Lee’s Summit on Saturday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 28.
Local interior designers Janet and Kristi Harsha will showcase Kirkland’s items and provide design tips for customers from 1 to 4 p.m. both days.
Customers are encouraged to bring photos of rooms or floor plans of spaces they are decorating for a free, personalized design consultation.
Kirkland’s will also be giving away two $50 gift cards in celebration of the grand opening, and shoppers will receive a free sachet with purchase while supplies last. Customers need only show up to the store and register to be entered in the drawing. The gift card winner will be randomly selected on Sunday, Oct. 28, at 4 p.m. The winner does not need to be present to win, and no purchase is necessary.
