Now, back to Magnolia Mercantile—I’m so excited to show you this incredible store in downtown Warrensburg. It’s a magical place where you can sip wine, enjoy cheeseboards, and shop for unique gifts. It’s a fantastic addition to our town, and I couldn’t be happier to have it here. Today, we’re going to talk to the owners and get a tour of the store!

I’m here with Terry, the owner and operator of Magnolia Mercantile in Warrensburg, Missouri. Terry, first of all, your store is absolutely amazing. I love it so much!

Terry: “Thank you! We’re so excited about it. We wanted to create a space where people can shop, relax, and enjoy themselves. It’s more than just a place to buy things—it’s an experience. We looked at other towns around Kansas and Missouri, but we chose Warrensburg because it felt right. With Whiteman Air Force Base nearby and a vibrant local community, we felt there was room for something different here.”

Me: “You definitely succeeded! The wine bar and cheeseboards are such a unique touch. My husband and I came here recently, had some wine, and just wandered around—it felt like a perfect date night!”

Terry: “That’s exactly what we were going for! We wanted to create a space where people could not only shop but also stay, have fun, and feel comfortable. We have wine flights, glasses, and bottles available, so whatever you’re in the mood for, we’ve got it.”

Me: “That’s so smart! If you had to pick one or two of your favorite things in the store, what would they be?”

Terry: “Oh, that’s tough! I think my favorite piece is a historical one—it’s a piece we found during one of our trips. It features a scene with mules and train tracks that captures Warrensburg’s history, right at a time when the town was transitioning from horse-drawn transportation to railroads. It really speaks to the heritage of this place.”

I also spoke with another Terry (yes, there are two Terrys!) who runs the wine bar at Magnolia Mercantile. She told me all about the wine flights they offer.

Terry (Wine Bar): “We offer wine flights with seven dinner wines and 20 other fruity, fun party wines. The idea is to give people the chance to sample different wines before choosing a glass or bottle. It’s a fun way to discover new favorites!”

Me: “That sounds amazing! And those cheeseboards? So delicious! You guys get your meats and cheeses from a local store, right?”

Terry (Wine Bar): “Yes, we source our cheeses and sausages from Cutting Up, a local meat shop. We offer a variety of cheeses and meats on our boards, along with crackers, and it’s the perfect pairing with a glass of wine.”

What really makes Magnolia Mercantile special is its history. I had a chance to talk with Lee, another owner of the store, about the building’s historic charm.

Lee: “I’m a history major, so preserving the building’s character was really important to me. This building dates back to at least the 1870s, and we found some amazing artifacts while renovating, including an old stone pit that we believe was used to store ice for the saloon that used to be here in the 1880s. We decided to keep the original brick, stone, and tin ceiling to give the store an authentic, rustic feel. It’s like stepping back in time when you walk in.”

Me: “That’s so awesome! You really kept the soul of the building alive while creating a unique shopping experience. I love it!”

Magnolia Mercantile is full of hidden gems and historical details, making it more than just a store—it’s a destination. Whether you’re grabbing a glass of wine, indulging in a cheeseboard, or picking up a thoughtful gift, it’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon.
