Boulder Boutique Celebrates Re-Opening
Walters & Hogsett recently feted its renovated boutique.
To celebrate its store renovation and company rebranding, Walters & Hogsett hosted 300 friends and customers at its grand reopening last month.
Boulder, Colo.--Completed just in time for the holiday shopping season, Walters & Hogsett recently feted the reopening of its renovated Boulder, Colorado boutique.
The renovation took over four months to complete, and the store stayed open for the duration.
Kansas City, Mo. firm Icon Architecture & Fabrication aimed for a “Colorado casual” style as it revamped the store interiors and installed new showcases, focusing on a mix of textures and colors that reflect the Rocky Mountain environment.
The new space boasts a larger repair area, a custom design studio named Studio W&H, a private buying room with bar stool seating and front-loading cases, a “social area” to serve beverages, a new Rolex boutique, and John Hardy and Hearts On Fire dedicated shops.
“Our business has grown exponentially over the last four years, and we feel fortunate it has in this changing retail environment,” Mark Vieregg, partner and co-owner of Walters & Hogsett, said in a press release.
“Our customers are sophisticated and seeking more, and now we are able to meet those expectations. Our internal team is second to none. We knew we needed to grow our footprint to meet demand and drive our future.”
