Tandy’s Hallmark announced Monday the addition of Kollections Gift and Party store to their location, inside the Big Creek Crossing, 2918 Vine.

Kollections’ current location at 2013 Vine will be closed effective Tuesday, and signs will direct shoppers to the new location at the mall, according to Manager Kathy Schupman.

“The combination of the two stores will give customers easy access to all of their party and gift needs from cards, balloons, party supplies and novelty gifts to the traditional Hallmark collectibles such as Precious Moments, Jim Shore, WoodWick candles and Christmas Keepsake Ornaments,” she said in a news release. “We look forward to showcasing the best of both stores for our customers.”

On Tuesday, merchandise from Kollections will be available in the Tandy’s location.

“We’re really excited,” Schupman said. “If it wasn’t for the community, and the values they hold with shopping locally, this wouldn’t be possible.

Tandy’s is scheduled to host a Christmas Keepsake Holiday Premiere July 9 to 17.
