Chattanooga Jewelry Company will host a grand opening celebration at its new location in Terminal Station on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Refreshments will be served, and 10 percent of the proceeds will be donated to Cornerstones, Inc., which has partnered with the Choo Choo Hotel to preserve and restore its historic dome architecture.
"We offer heirloom quality jewelry, and much of it is inspired by the art deco/nouveau to mid-century modern movements, making the Choo Choo a great location for us,” said store owner Brandon Anthony. "We’ll offer our own brands and unique pieces along with some select boutique designers.
Our shop is perfect for locals shopping for special occasions, as well as for the tourist that wants to find a treasure during their stay in Chattanooga.”
The store will be open Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours on Dec. 1 for the MAINx24 festival. The Chattanooga Jewelry Company has its flagship location on Signal Mountain, where they also offer repair and restoration work. Items start at $50. This location will bring their total staff to 10.
“The Choo Choo is bringing retail, along with restaurants and entertainment venues, to the Southside,” said Chattanooga Choo Choo President Adam Kinsey. “This year, we’re proud to be part of the Chattanooga Jewelry Company’s expansion just in time for the holidays. In November, you’ll be able to stop in at the Choo Choo with your kids for portraits with Santa, dine at one of our restaurants and then shop while your kids enjoy Ice on the Landing. We’ll also have a holiday market for unique regional products, just in time for the gift-giving season.”
To visit the store, simply enter through the front doors at the Terminal Station and head straight back toward the Glenn Miller Gardens. Alternatively, park at the Shuttle Park South garage and then enter the gardens to the left of the station.
