P. Graham Dunn set to open its new Canton store
P. Graham Dunn will open a Canton store on Nov. 1.
P. Graham Dunn is set to officially open a new retail location in Canton on Nov. 1. The gift and home décor manufacturer is opening its doors in the building previously occupied by Lifeway Christian Stores at 1100 30th St. NW in Canton.
With a long history of producing American-made home décor in the heart of Amish Country, P. Graham Dunn’s current retail location in Dalton will continue to provide products to its shoppers and serve as the flagship store. The opportunity to expand is a significant milestone for the company.
“In an era where gifts, books and Bibles are being purchased online, we understand that in-store experience is paramount when drawing shoppers into a brick and mortar location,” said Andy Yost, vice president of sales. “By opening a store in Canton, we are hoping to emulate the same experience shoppers get when they visit our Dalton corporate store: one that evokes inspiration, joy and hope and provides an atmosphere of peace and calmness, a respite in the busyness of life.”
The new store will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will feature a large selection of P. Graham Dunn’s modern, farmhouse and inspirational décor, as well as greeting cards, Bibles and books, Melissa and Doug children’s toys, and other gifts.
The store also will include features such as an interactive children’s area where kids can play while their parent shops. On-the-spot, personalized gifts will be offered for last-minute shoppers while bargain shoppers will be able to shop the factory outlet to purchase overstocked, discontinued and unfinished merchandise at a discount.
“We are excited about this new venture. It provides us the opportunity to reopen a retail location that has served the city of Canton for over 40 years,” said Anthony Burdette, vice president of marketing and product development. “We understand the importance of local business and hope that this new storefront will not only be a destination for our locally produced décor and gifts, but also a place of inspiration, encouragement and togetherness for the people of Canton and its surrounding communities.”
Founded in March 1976, P. Graham Dunn is a leading domestic manufacturer of inspirational art, gifts and home décor, currently distributing to over 8,000 accounts nationwide. Family-owned and operated since its founding, the company recently became employee-owned in September 2019.
