James Avery Announces New Store at The Avenue West Cobb Opening this July

Jewelry retailer plans to open third Atlanta area location in Marietta

KERRVILLE, TEXAS--(April 25, 2011)—James Avery, a family-owned jewelry retailer, announces plans to open a new store in Marietta, Georgia this July.  The store will be located at The Avenue West Cobb Shopping Center, an open-air premier shopping destination in Marietta, GA, a suburb of Atlanta.  The new location will feature an extensive selection of typically hand-crafted designs offered primarily in sterling silver and 14k gold, and in various sizes and gemstones.

James Avery is best known for its unique jewelry designs which include faith-inspired jewelry and an extensive charm collection.  They also offer a diverse selection of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings for all ages, men and women.  The corporate mission is “to share life, love and faith through the beauty of design.”

James Avery opened its first Atlanta store over 20 years ago.  Currently, there are two stores in the Atlanta metro area, one in Alpharetta at Mansell Crossing and the other in Norcross at The Forum on Peachtree Parkway.

Howell Ridout, Vice President of Branding & Development comments on the new store opening in July: “Despite our long term following at Mansell Crossing and recent success at The Forum on Peachtree Parkway, we did not feel that we could adequately serve our many northwest Atlanta customers without a presence there.  After many years of keeping an eye on the area, the timing was finally right to join The Avenue West Cobb and their line up of great tenants.”

With the opening of the Marietta location, James Avery will operate a total of 61 stores across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas.  Customers can also shop online at www.jamesavery.com.
