Another seasonal store, The Holiday Express, is now open at the Frontier Mall! Here's a glance at where it is located, the space's history, and the store itself.
Some history
If you visited the Frontier Mall in the 2010s or so, you probably will remember that this space used to be occupied by Bath and Body Works. Although some minor changes have been made to the look of the store front, anyone familiar with older Bath and Body Works store fronts will likely recognize it immediately.

Around late 2016 to mid-2017, Bath and Body Works ended up relocating to what used to be PacSun, a smaller-format clothing store which was located across the hall from the then-Best Buy Mobile store.
As of 2018, it appeared that the former Bath and Body Works space was being used for miscellaneous storage. By late 2019, however, the space got a refresh with a white paint job on the store front, a sign posted in the window advertising the space as for lease. By November that year, a shop called Craft Tree Artisan Marketplace was setting up shop.

In December 2020, a place with a similar (yet different) name was occupying space, calling itself Arts and Crafts Holiday Marketplace.
The Holiday Express sets up shop
As soon as early November 2023, a sign had been posted in the window of the old Bath and Body Works location, advertising that a store called The Holiday Express would be coming soon.

Over the next few weeks, the store slowly got everything set up ranging from the products to the window displays. Sometime over the last week and a half since the time of posting, the store finally opened.
Passing by the store front, one can see that they have all kinds of nick-knacks inside, ranging from hats and signs to T-shirts and crafts. According to their page on the Frontier Mall's website, they have all kinds of unique gift items ranging "from stunning metal art, handmade pottery, and eye-catching metal signs to stylish handbags, t-shirts, and hats."

According to a Facebook post from WY Maker LLC which mentioned that their trays are available at the new store at Frontier Mall, The Holiday Express is a store "full of local talent."
