Description

Truly Madly Depot is a brick-and-mortar gift and paper shop on Johnson Drive, the main commercial street of downtown Mission, Kansas. The shop describes itself as “an eclectic gift, art + paper shop that carries a wide variety of special products from all around the world.”4 Its inventory spans greeting cards, notebooks, planners, washi tape and office supplies, Japanese stationery and pens, letterpress goods, stickers, art prints, home décor, candles, jewelry, and small gifts.24 The owners prioritize goods from Kansas City artists and makers where possible, alongside imported cards and Japanese letter-writing sets.2

The shop operates both a physical storefront — open daily — and an online store at trlymdly.com.4 KCUR included it in a 2024 roundup of Kansas City-area stationery and paper shops.2

Ownership and history

The shop is owned by Matthew and Kimberly Hoppock, a married couple and Mission residents.1 Matthew Hoppock is an attorney by profession who practices letterpress printing as a hobby; Kimberly Hoppock framed the shop around personal taste, saying she “wanted to make a shop full of things that I personally would love to get as a gift.”1 Both owners are noted enthusiasts of Japanese stationery and pens, which informs a distinctive segment of the inventory.12

The business name originated from a phone autocorrect: Kimberly was attempting to text her husband “truly, madly, deeply” and the phone suggested “Truly, madly, depot,” which the couple adopted as the shop name.1

Truly Madly Depot opened February 10, 2024.1 The City of Mission business directory lists it under “Retail” and “Woman Owned.”3
