For owners Jesse and Stacie Borjon, their Fairlawn Plaza home goods store, 2131 S.W. Fairlawn Plaza Dr., continues to be a destination shopping experience for folks in the area.
“We are very grateful for the support that Topeka has provided,” said Jesse Borjon.
“We get customers from all over northeast Kansas and folks that, when they travel to see friends and relatives in Topeka, make it a point to stop by and shop with us. We’re grateful for all of that.”
“We offer a warm welcome and a wonderful collection of classic furniture, home accessories, seasonal products and holiday décor,” Borjon said. “Our fragrances and candles are some of our customers’ favorite items.”
Additionally, the store also offers some gourmet food items and does custom florals, seasonal decorating, as well as in-home decorating services.
The business the couple opened in 2015 has done so well it has expanded in recent years with a seasonal pop-up store at Town Center Plaza in Leawood. Red Door started the KC-area pop-up store in 2019 but sat out in 2020 due to the coronavirus.
“What was fun to see about 2020 was that folks who had found us at our Leawood location made the trek to Topeka, and shopped with us here,” Borjon said. “And they wanted to know: Where should we go to have lunch? What other shops are in Topeka? What other things should we do while we’re here? That was really cool to see.”
The seasonal pop-up store is back this year at 4840 W. 119th in Leawood. The KC-area store, which opened Oct. 1 and is doing business through Dec. 31, has more focus on a seasonal collection, offering items for fall, Christmas, holiday, as well as some furniture and everyday home décor pieces.
“We pride ourselves on customer service and really meeting the needs of customers when they come in,” Borjon said. “We also feel like our selection is a step above, and we try to carry a good variety.”
