The much-anticipated Waco location opened February 2 and enjoyed large crowds over the weekend.
I went by to shop and sign up for World Market Explorer, a free membership that gives me, among other things, 10 percent off my first purchase (smoked salmon, artichoke & tomato bruschetta, various curry sauces); $10 credit for every $200 I spend; a birthday surprise (fingers crossed for chocolate); every seventh bag of coffee free; and special discounts on wine and beer.
In the words of the estimable Amy Poehler, yes please!
If you’re looking for a reason to throw a party, use that Explorer 10 percent off to get heart-shaped pasta and exotic chocolate for Valentine’s Day. If that makes you want to gag, celebrate Mardi Gras with coffee-and-chicory and King Cake mix complete with plastic baby Jesus. Just don’t gag on baby Jesus.
I’ll definitely be back to World Market in mid-March to load up on Irish beer and soda bread. Happy shopping!
One More Bite: I keep getting asked what is going in at the corner of Waco Drive and 17th Street. I’ve heard from a few people that it’s going to be a Shipley’s Donuts with a drive thru. Please share if you’ve heard something different!
