At Home (formerly Garden Ridge) redeveloped the former Irondale Walmart in Grants Mill Station almost five years ago.  Since then, they’ve served as a catalyst in transforming the once blighted space into a viable economic development engine for the City of Irondale.

At Home is a privately held home decor retail chain based in Plano, Texas. Owned and operated by At Home Group Inc. The store is a big box specialty retailer of home decor products with more than 50,000 unique items across broad product categories, including furniture, garden, home textiles, housewares, patio, rugs, seasonal decor, tabletop décor, and wall decor.
