“After much deliberation, I have made the difficult decision to close Sollberger’s,” says owner Jaki Cowan. For now, she says she is focusing on family, and her children, Jasper (age 3) and Jemma Kate (age 1).

“It has been six years since I became the owner of Sollberger’s, and it has been a whirlwind process full of humility, growth, excitement, and love. I am so grateful to the community that welcomed us with open arms, and to Jacques and Edith Sollberger, the previous owners, for being the very best mentors for which anyone could hope.” 

Cowan had worked part time at the store for several years during the holidays as a student, while she was home from college in North Carolina, knowing the Jacques and Edith Sollberger as family friends. 

To thank its customers, the jeweler is hosting the largest event in its history, with a going-out-of-business sale beginning November 9. The jeweler will offer storewide discounts up to 70% off all inventory until everything is sold. Due to the pandemic, Sollbergers maintains a strict sanitizing schedule throughout every business day, and store entrance and occupancy will be limited to maintain social distancing.
