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: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
