Town & Country Village (Houston)

Town & Country Village is an upscale shopping center in Houston, Texas, USA. It is located along Beltway 8 between Memorial Drive and the former Town & Country Mall.

History

The Original Town & Country Village was built in the 1960s with Joske's and Sakowitz among its anchors. In 1983, the north end of the center was redeveloped as Town & Country Mall, anchored by the existing Joske's along with JCPenney, Marshall Fields (later Saks Fifth Avenue) and Neiman Marcus. The mall was torn down in 2005.

By the late 1980s, the original village had Oshman's, Palais Royal, Continental Foods and Sakowitz.[1] Sakowitz closed in 1990.[2] Town & County Village was redeveloped in 1996, featuring Barnes & Noble and Randall's Food Markets.
