Esteemed Texas jewelry brand Kendra Scott is expanding once again, this time to Heights Mercantile — just in time for holiday shopping.


Located at 730 Yale St., this marks the eighth Houston-area store for the brand. The 1,330-square-foot space will feature unique and exclusive retail offerings, including a fine-jewelry shop with a larger collection of the fine and demi jewelry; a sterling-silver color bar with interactive stone trays; and on-site custom engraving of the brand's sterling-silver collection.

Houstonians will be able to take advantage of the mural art wall on the side of the store for Insta-worthy photo moments.

"This expansion marks our continued commitment to authentically serve our home state and support our communities within Texas through our core values of family, fashion and philanthropy," Tom Nolan, CEO, said in a statement. "This store will continue to provide quality product offerings for our customers while delivering a world-class experience."

Kendra Scott established its regional retail store footprint in 2012, and Houston has been one of the brand's largest markets since its founding in 2002. Since Scott stepped down and Tom Nolan was appointed CEO earlier this year, he has put an emphasis on customer interaction and experience.

The Heights Mercantile store will be tailored to loyal Houston customers, offering specialty items such as the Rodeo Collection and game-day gear for Houston Astros, Rockets and Texans sporting events.

Leadership in Action: John Kuykendall Traded Newcaster Dream for Success in Luxury Retail

John Kuykendall, Showroom Manager, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove

How did you get to where you are today? Growing up I had envisioned myself as a news anchor, living in NY and enthusiastically saying into the camera “Good Morning America!”. To this day, I am still a news/political junkie. My mother owned fur salons so specialty retail, luxury retail was in my blood through the family business. Eventually, mom shuttered the stores and I was recruited to a large specialty retailer. Over the next 30 years, I was in commissioned sales on the sales floor, became a department manager, worked my way up to buyer and store manager. Although I never became a newscaster, I did live in NYC for a few years. But Texas is home and with aging grandparents, I felt the pull to come back to my roots. A headhunter approached me. I never envisioned myself in the high-end appliance market, but there are so many similarities. Clients want a memorable experience; whether shopping for diamonds and fur or remodeling their kitchen.
