Popshelf is readying to open its first Texas stores, including a location at 2821 Craig Drive in McKinney, in the former Pier1 location. Popshelf aims to provide an affordable and stress-free shopping experience, offering seasonal items, home decor, health and beauty products, cleaning supplies, party goods and more. About 95% of items in the store will be priced at $5 or less. Each store is expected to create up to 15 new jobs, according to a Popshelf news release.

The McKinney store is expected to open in mid-April. Popshelf plans to open 100 additional stores this fiscal year. www.popshelf.com
