Ben Moss stores to re-open under new ownership
Jan 15, 2017
Canadian jewelry company Charm Diamond Centres announced on Thursday that it has acquired the rights to operate the Ben Moss Jewellers banner.
Established in 1910, Ben Moss filed for creditor protection last May and closed all of its stores. It was acquired by JSN Group, a private wholesale business, in 2013.
Under their new ownership, Charm will re-open the top 16 Ben Moss stores in 14 Canadian markets including in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. Some store locations have already re-opened, while a Ben Moss grand re-opening event and promotion is scheduled to take place in time for Valentine’s Day.
“Charm Diamond Centres is delighted to give the Ben Moss Jewellers brand a fresh start,” says Charm Diamond Centres president Troy Calder, in a news statement. “We have great respect for the Ben Moss Jewellers legacy and its long history. Like Charm, the company has a similar story – it is a family-owned Canadian fine jewelry brand that customers have trusted for their most treasured memories.”
The company says it will retain more than 100 current Ben Moss Jewellers employees to create a total of 175 jobs.
Founded in 1972 by Richard Calder, Charm Diamond Centres (with Crescent Gold and Diamonds) is Canada’s largest independently owned and operated jewelry company. Under its three retail banners, the company operates more than 88 stores.
