In November of this year, Tiffany and Co., whose jewels have adorned women from film stars to first ladies, has announced it is scheduled to open in Market Street in The Woodlands, Tx.

Its second in the Houston area and sixth in Texas, Tiffany and Co's Market Street store will showcase the prestigious jeweler's collection of diamonds, engagement rings, watches, men's items, accessories and gifts, all presented to shoppers in the treasured Tiffany Blue Box.

It is a retail tradition that dates back to founder Charles Tiffany who mandated the coveted boxes could only be acquired with a Tiffany purchase.

Kerry Tropeano of Tiffany and Co stated, ""We've studied The Woodlands and Market Street, in particular, for quite some time. Market Street presents an impressive collection of retailers and restaurants – one we're proud to be a part of.""

Previously occupied by Z Gallerie, the new Tiffany and Co. store is set to open in the same space.

Including the addition of a dramatic new entrance, renovation to the 4,000-square-foot space is expected to be completed by November.

Z Gallerie has relocated to a corner space across from Tommy Bahama Café and Emporium.

Market Street General Manager Jill Liccioni stated, ""We are always looking to create an experience that presents a collection of retailers unlike any other shopping destination in the region.""

She added, ""To be successful as a leisure destination, you need a real 'wow' factor. Certainly the addition of Tiffany and Co. gives us that.""

Liccioni continues, Maintaining Market Street's status as a premier shopping destination means offering boutiques shoppers the stores they aren't able to find on every corner.

Among its collection of more than 70 fashion retailers, boutiques and restaurants, several of which are locally owned and operated, Market Street is home to Texas' only Tommy Bahama Cafe and Emporium and one of two Norton Ditto stores in Houston.

Market Street welcomed the posh, 70-room AVIA boutique hotel in December of last year.

Other recent additions include Langford Market, LMD Boutique, Stadia Sports Grill and Bar, Bobby Chan, The Madison Boutique and Glo Sun Spa.

Market Street is located in The Woodlands by luxurious communities like Sterling Ridge and Town Center.
