Precious Debut 4D Ultrasound to open at Bristol Square Shopping Center

May 16, 20134:15 p.m.

WICHITA — Precious Debut 4D Ultrasound will make its debut in the Bristol Square Shopping Center in Derby next week.

The business will cater to pregnant women in 1,600 square feet at the center, which is at the northeast corner of Madison and Rock Road.

Tammy Dvorak and Shelly White, who have 30 years of ultrasound experience between them, are partners in the business.

Dvorak says 4D ultrasound is basically 3D with motion. She and White prefer that expectant mothers have permission from their doctors before getting these elective ultrasounds.

“This is more for … fun,” Dvorak says. “Kind of bond the family together.”

The business will be available for baby parties. Dvorak says she hasn’t had final word from the fire marshal yet, but she thinks the space may be able to hold up to 50 people.

Cristi Howell of J.P. Weigand & Sons handled the lease.

Precious Debut also will offer diagnostic ultrasound with a doctor’s order and offer a variety of general health screening services.

Dvorak says she and White hope to open on Monday.

Powell Jewelry to close in Derby to focus attention on NewMarket Square store

June 2, 20114:31 p.m.

WICHITA — Another NewMarket Square business is making some changes.

Daniel Hernandez of Powell Jewelry says he wants to focus solely on his NewMarket store, so he’s closing his Derby store.

“We just think if we can capitalize on what’s already here, we’ll be in better shape than trying . . . to split the attention between two stores,” he says.

The Derby store, which is at the Bristol Square shopping center, will close at the end of this month at the latest. Hernandez says the sale is going well, so the store may close earlier.

He says there’s “nothing wrong with Derby. Derby’s a great location. Good store.”

Volume was flat there, though, and Hernandez figures he may as well cut the double expenses.

Currently, the NewMarket Powell Jewelry is in 1,200 square feet. Hernandez says in the future he might prefer to expand to about 2,200 square feet.

“We’re not sure if there’s even a possibility there, but we’d like to,” he says. “There’s just so much growth in the area.”
