In September 2004, Bailey Banks & Biddle celebrated the grand opening of its 7,800-square-foot flagship store in the Houston Galleria. The store features four quadrants: fashion jewelry, watches, a bridal and fine-gemstone salon, and a newly expanded gift department as well as in-store boutiques for the Vera Wang and Cartier lines. The company plans to open similar stores in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and King of Prussia, Pa., in spring 2005.

In operation for 172 years, Bailey Banks & Biddle now operates 108 retail locations in 31 states and Puerto Rico.
