Paradies Lagardère on Tuesday celebrated the opening of Lone Chimney Mercantile at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
With origins in Richardson, Texas, Lone Chimney is known for its curated mix of vintage-inspired goods, handcrafted items and everyday essentials. The store celebrates craftsmanship, storytelling and the charm of timeless design. Travelers can discover a collection that reflects the spirit of North Texas rooted in heritage, creativity and community.
At the opening event, Ken Buchanan, DFW’s executive vice president and chief revenue officer, called the opening “another perfect example of what that partnership means and why it’s so special at DFW.
“Our mission is to continuously find new ways to elevate the customer experience, and bringing local flavor and local businesses into the airport is an essential part of that strategy,” he said. “Travelers want a sense of place, a feeling that they’ve arrived somewhere unique. Lone Chimney Mercantile delivers exactly that. It blends a modern retail experience with authentic local character travelers expect when they’re in Texas.”
Sarah Kirkpatrick, vice president of merchandising at Paradies Lagardère, said Lone Chimney is “more than just a retail store, it is a showcase of Texas creativity.
“It is a place for local makers and small businesses, where we’re featuring local gifts, local apparel, gourmet treats and lots of regional flavor,” she said, adding, “This concept embodies what we always strive to create—spaces that feel authentic, personal, and deeply connected to the community.”
“Opening at DFW is a meaningful next chapter for Lone Chimney Mercantile,” said Annie Holland, founder of Lone Chimney Mercantile. “What began as my neighborhood shop in Richardson has always been about more than just products for sale; it’s about honoring craftsmanship, sharing stories, and creating a sense of connection. Bringing that experience to travelers is incredibly special, and we’re proud to stay true to our roots here at DFW.”
