Tennessee home décor chain Kirkland's has entered the Northern California market, bringing with it more than 40 new jobs to the Antioch area just in time for the holidays.
Kirkland's, which hosted its grand opening at its Slatten Ranch location last weekend, offers a full line of home accent items, and this time of year, a wide variety of holiday décor items.
"Antioch was just one of several markets on the radar that we've been watching for the last several years," said Sarah Weaver, Kirkland's leasing manager. "This entire area fits our criteria and we've just been waiting for a site to open up."
The Slatten Ranch site, at more than 12,000 square feet, is larger than the typical store that Kirkland's opens, according to Weaver, but it was anxious to get its Northern California stores open. Currently the chain has 306 stores in 30 states with already 11 stores in Southern California, with the closest being Fresno.
"We had a lot of requests for a store in this area," Weaver said.
The company plans to open two other Northern California sites next month. One of the sites is in Vacaville and the other is located in Folsom.
Kirkland's offers products for those looking to redecorate their home or add accents to their décor. Weaver said they do not carry big furniture items. Customers are more likely to find accent chairs for a dining room set rather than dining room tables-and-chair sets.
For the holidays, Kirkland's is offering holiday floral designs and a large selection of gift ideas and decorations.
In addition to the holiday items, there is also a wide selection of lamps, rugs, jars, vases and candleholders, framed art and picture frames. Furniture includes accent tables, cabinets, chests, side and accent chairs and vanity sinks.
Weaver said that Kirkland's was first opened in Tennessee by Carl Kirkland in 1968, hence the name. While they share the same name, Kirkland's is not related in an way to Costco, which sells Kirkland Signature products.
