(PRESS RELEASE) HOUSTON — Thomas Markle Jewelers, Houston’s premier family-owned and operated luxury jeweler, announced the upcoming move into a remarkable new store location. The flagship store in The Woodlands at Market Street will relocate across the street to Suite 1160. The move marks a shining new chapter of growth for the company, allowing Thomas Markle Jewelers to curate an even more elevated experience for guests.

“Since 1983, we have continually worked to enhance the guest experience in our luxury stores. We listen to the needs of our clients and respond with tailored services, a curated selection and beautiful shopping spaces. We feel it’s time to offer a new luxury experience that reflects our refinement as a brand, so we are expanding into a fully renovated space that will better serve our discerning shoppers,” said Thomas Markle, owner of Thomas Markle Jewelers.

As an iconic local destination store and Official Rolex Jeweler, Thomas Markle Jewelers provides Houstonians with an unmatched selection of luxury timepieces, fine jewelry from world renowned designers and impeccable service. First established in Kingwood, the brand has more recently operated in The Woodlands and Memorial. During this new chapter, the Memorial Store will remain at the same location, while The Woodlands flagship store will relocate and expand into the new space across the street in Suite 1160, remaining in the Market Street Shopping Center. Thomas Markle Jewelers prides itself on maintaining a legacy of luxury while perpetually evolving to meet changing client needs.

Houstonians are invited to enjoy superlative shopping at the upcoming new store location, which will feature a lavish bar, complete with new Thomas Markle Jewelers signature cocktail; a well-appointed bridal salon committed to serving Houston’s happy couples; and a comfortable service lounge. The world’s most prestigious brands will be well-represented, with dedicated shopping areas for Rolex, Tudor, Grand Seiko and Mont Blanc. Plus, IWC Schaffhausen will now be available at Thomas Markle Jewelers for the first time. Other inimitable brands include Roberto Coin, Marco Bicego, Kwiat and many more.

Starting Friday, June 14th, Thomas Markle Jewelers will host a huge storewide liquidation event in preparation for the move. For a limited time, savvy shoppers can save up to 70% off designer styles for summer, graduation gifts, the perfect engagement ring and much more. Only the latest styles will be available at the new location, so all existing inventory must go.

“This is a transformational moment for us,” said Markle. “Service is at the heart of everything we do, and this change will allow us to offer our most compelling jewelry experiences yet. We’re very excited for the future of Thomas Markle Jewelers.”

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
