Towne East Square to add two stores

Towne East Square will add retailers Piercing Pagoda and Samuels Jewelers later this year, according to a news release.

Piercing Pagoda, an ear-piercing retail shop, is expected to be located on the Wichita mall’s lower level in Dillard’s court area, according to the release. Samuels Jewelers will also be located on the lower level, near the mall’s food court, the release said.

Both stores are expected to open sometime this spring, the release said, and both are making their first foray into the Wichita market. Located north of Kellogg on Wichita’s east side, Towne East Square is home to more than 125 stores.
