We have LOVED our time at the West End Diner Shops. This little corner was our very first shop and we'll always be grateful for the memories made here.

Today is officially the last day Frankie P's will be open at the diner, but don't worry — you'll still be able to shop online while we transition Frankie P's to our new location. Stop by today from 10-2 to grab your favorites! PS: We also have DUMPLINGS! Frankie girl wanted to make sure this weekend was special, so we've been saving this drop!

And while you're out and about, it's opening day for the Cedar Rapids Farmers Market! 🎉 Come see us near Greene Square and kick off market season with us.

TPW is open 10-3 as usual and we're bringing in fresh new summer picks!!

Not sure why I’m so emotional over this — it isn’t goodbye to Frankie P’s altogether, but it is goodbye to our tiny little shop. 💜

This Saturday is the last day Frankie P’s will be open at West End Diner.

If you would’ve told me when we hesitantly signed our very first lease for The Purple Wagon in this tiny space that just six short years later we’d be opening the doors to what feels like our forever home, I never would’ve believed you.

Opening this shop — as small as it was — felt HUGE at the time. I remember wondering if we’d even sell enough to cover that first month’s rent. I had never owned a shop before, never ordered wholesale products, and honestly had no clue if people would even drive to Marion to see us.

But this community showed up for us in every possible way. Your support in this little space helped create the growth that got us here, and that’s just wild to think about.

So while this isn’t goodbye to Frankie P’s (she’ll be back and better than ever inside the new shop ✨), it is closing the very first door that opened for us.

Stop by Friday + Saturday from 10–2 to grab your favorites before we start packing things up.

And PS — Frankie girl has one last surprise for the final weekend… DUMPLINGS are here to send us off in the best way. Something fun, innocent, and joy-filled — the whole reason this shop came about in the first place. 🥟

There’s something really special about becoming part of a building with so much history behind it. 🤍

For generations, this little corner of Uptown Marion has been filled with people, memories, conversations, and community. And after sitting quiet for years, we’re so excited to see it full of life again! ✨

We truly cannot wait to welcome you into the new Purple Wagon soon. 🫶

Open today from 10-3.

What’s New Wednesday ✨

Okay parents… you’re going to LOVE these!

We’re bringing HydroJugs to the new shop and they’re basically the dream water bottle for kids! Durable, leakproof, easy to use, and designed to survive backpacks, lunchboxes, sports, and all the chaos 😅

These will be available in-store and online once the new storefront opens at the end of June!

Shop 10-3 today 🤍

Happy Birthday to my number one guy (sorry, Sam 😅)! Auggie is right in the middle and somehow the perfect mix of it all. So fun, so sweet, and just the best 🥹

I swear time is flying… like how did he go from this tiny baby to such a big kid 😭

(And yes, his adorable outfit is available online and in the shop 🤍)

So many new sensory jars and kits in the shops right now 🤍 We’ve got both dough + slime options (find the slime at Frankie P's!) and they’re SO fun for summer play, gifting, or just keeping little hands busy!

What’s New Wednesday ✨

We’re so excited to bring Mad Mattr to the new shop! It’s the softest, most satisfying modeling dough that molds and shapes so easily for hours of creative play.

The best part? It never dries out and the non-toxic formula is gluten, casein, and wheat-free so it's safe for every kid!

We can’t wait for you guys to get your hands on this! Mad Mattr will officially be available in the shop and online when we move into the new storefront at the end of June 💜

We're open 10-3 today!
