| Tiffany & Co., the upscale jeweler known as much for its turquoise boxes as its silver jewelry and
diamonds, said Thursday it will open a store this fall in the luxury wing of Towson Town Center.
Tiffany will open a 3,700-square-foot store with some of the architectural elements of its flagship
boutique in New York. It will feature polished marble, a stone arch at the entrance and large glass show
windows.
The planned opening is Sept. 3.
The jeweler is opening as the economy is starting to rebound even though consumers are still skittish
about spending. Tiffany, which is selective about where it opens stores, sees promise in the Baltimore
market, company officials said.
"We have seen many economic conditions and global events, but have always continued to be there for our
customers," said George Getschel, director at Tiffany & Co.
Getschel described Towson Town Center as a "prime location" and a "premier destination for shopping."
Tiffany is opening in a nearly two-year-old luxury wing at Towson Town Center, where it will be neighbors
with high-end brands such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry, BCBG MaxAzria and Christian Audigier, creator of
the Ed Hardy T-shirt line.
The luxury wing has been seen as a sign that upscale retailers were no longer snubbing the Baltimore-area
and its working-class roots.
General Growth, the owner of the mall, decided to try to attract luxury retailers after an analysis of the demographics showed the area could support high-end shopping.
