Hi, Gilchrist County! We’re Eugene and Brenda Strickland, the new owners of Grace & Goods. We’ve been married for 32 years, have four kids, and are excited to share this next chapter with the community we love. Eugene also serves as the pastor of Redemption Church in Bell.
Grace & Goods is a thrift store and coffee shop, but our hope is that it feels like more than a store. We want every person who walks through our doors to feel welcomed, valued, and loved. Whether you come in to find a treasure, grab a cup of coffee, or simply say hello, we hope you experience the love of Christ here.
We’re also grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the same great coffee you enjoyed from American Grace. We know that coffee meant more than a drink to many of you—it was part of a place to gather and connect. We’re excited to carry that forward while making new memories together.
Thank you for welcoming our family. We can’t wait to meet you, hear your stories, and serve the Gilchrist community, one cup and one conversation at a time.
With love,
Eugene & Brenda Strickland
