After being destroyed by fire a year ago, Shores Jewelry in Mattoon, IL, has reopened in a nearby location.

The business, which has been operating downtown since 1948, had been renting space temporarily, WCIA-TV reports. The new building is only two block from the old spot.

“We designed this building and built this building the way we wanted it,” said owner Harold Shores. “And that’s really nice to have everything in it’s place.”

Because of COVID-19, only one customer is allowed in the store at a time. The business is focusing on curbside service.

Shores owns the new building, located on a spot that had been vacant since the 1980s. It has four additional storefronts, which Shores has rented out.

Choose the Easy Way to Retire with Wilkerson

After 47 years in business, Jim Saylor, owner of Jim Saylor Jewelers in Kapa’a, Hawaii, knew retiring successfully meant holding a going-out-of-business sale. He also knew he needed help to do it right. He chose Wilkerson. “I’ve heard a lot of different names of companies that do this type of thing,” says Saylor. “Wilkerson’s always seems to be in the forefront.” Saylor says the Wilkerson folks really cared about the success of the sale, making the next phase of his life a lot easier. “I’d recommend Wilkerson to anybody contemplating a change,” he says. “They are true experts.”
