THE WOODLANDS, TX – Tommy Bahama Home will open its doors at Market Street Saturday, January 16th in a beautifully displayed 10,000 square-foot showroom adjacent to the Hyatt Centric hotel.
The iconic Tommy Bahama brand, known for its relaxed take on casual elegance, has both a retail store and restaurant in Market Street. The new home store will offer indoor and outdoor home furnishings and distinctive home décor. While Tommy Bahama operates over 160 retail stores and 17 restaurants in the US, the Market Street location will be just the third location nationally for the home store concept. The other showrooms are in Newport Beach and Austin.
