In 2017, everyone’s favorite home renovation couple announced they’d be ending their hit TV show Fixer Upper. Chip and Joanna Gaines will focus on their growing family (Baby #5 is on the way) and their other thriving businesses. The two employ more than 300 people in all.

What would it be like to work for the dynamic duo of home design? We’ve rounded up a list of Chip and Joanna Gaines’ thriving businesses and what it’s like to work there, according to employees. (And they’re hiring! More on that on page 8.)

Chip and Joanna’s businesses

The duo has plenty to keep them busy now that they’re done taping Fixer Upper. Businesses include Magnolia Market at the Silos, a Waco store selling homeware and gifts, plus a bakery, food trucks and outdoor games.

Three things they look for in employees

The Magnolia empire receives thousands of applications these days. In addition to loving Magnolia products and Fixer Upper, Chip and Joanna look for three additional qualities in an employee, they told Country Living.

To land a job with Chip and Joanna, you’ll need an appreciation for the customer, passion and creative spirit, and strong values and character. A resume that stands out will certainly help: “There’s something fun about someone who’s willing to spend a little extra time to do something that’s unique,” Chip said.

A longtime employee wore many hats

Laura Stafford, a designer at Magnolia Homes and on Fixer Upper, started working with Chip and Joanna when the show was just starting out. While working at a jewelry store, Stafford happened to make a delivery to Chip and Joanna. A discussion was going on about design plans, and Stafford had some ideas. Soon enough, she applied there and got the job.

Stafford started out when the staff was tiny, so she wore many hats at once: contractor, designer, budget controller, and project manager. “Chip and Jo are very empowering and releasing,” she said. “This is key to being able to take risks and just go for it. I love this about them. They are dreamers who really make others’ dreams happen too.”

Their carpenter got his own TV show

Described as a “creative genius,” Clint Harp is the carpenter on Fixer Upper who transforms salvaged wood into new furniture at Joanna’s direction. He’s become a popular fixture on the show. How did he meet the couple? He was down and out, having recently left his job to pursue his passion of woodworking. He met Chip at a gas station one day and struck up a conversation. The rest is history.

“This whole thing has been such an amazing job,” Harp said. “It’s just insane. Just a few years ago, I was sitting at a gas station wondering what’s going to happen.” For Harp, Fixer Upper has been a springboard to success. He and his wife Kelly now run their own store. He also has his own DIY network show Wood Work.
