Utopia celebrating Grand Re-opening

Utopia is celebrating its Grand Re-opening at Redmond Town Center, with 20 percent discounts through Oct. 8.

“When Redmond Town Center was being built, I decided it would be the perfect location for Utopia,” said owner Janis Staskowski. “Now ten years later, it has proven to be even more perfect. We have outgrown our original store upstairs and have relocated downstairs. We’re now in the Center Court, next to the fountains and Starbucks.”

The new space is four times larger and Staskowski noted, “We appreciate all our loyal customers and Redmond Town Center for helping us to make this exciting dream come true.”

Utopia specializes in museum-quality fossils, crystals, gems and geodes, Northwest hand-blown art glass and artist-designed jewelry.
