Queensbury, N.Y.—Hannoush Jewelers has opened a new location in Queensbury, New York.
The opening marks the third location for brothers David and Albert Hannoush.
Hannoush Jewelers is an umbrella organization of five companies, separately owned by five of the Hannoush brothers, who started the business.
The stores coordinate and market to the public under the family name.
The company also has stores in Albany and Clifton Park, New York.
This new location took the place of Louis Jewelers, which served the Queensbury area for more than a decade. It closed in September 2023 when founder Louis Carciobolo retired.
It was important to Carciobolo that the location be passed on to a family jeweler, said the company.

It was important to Carciobolo that the location be passed on to a family jeweler, said the company.
Louis Jewelers was known for “honesty, integrity and quality jewelry services,” a legacy that Hannoush Jewelers said it will carry into the future.
“After getting to know Louis, we found that we share the same spirit of putting our customers’ needs in front of making a quick sale,” said David, a second-generation jeweler.
“This and other shared values make us confident that we can pick up where Louis left off and continue to serve the community, but with a distinctly Hannoush flair.”
The 3,500-square-foot showroom has been newly renovated, with a dedicated bridal section and a Gabriel & Co. store-in-store.
“The Hannoush team can’t wait to be part of the community and to offer North Country residents the quality and service that characterize Hannoush stores,” said the company.
Hannoush Jewelers ranked No. 25 on National Jeweler’s 2023 list of the Top 50 Specialty Jewelers by store count, with 30 locations as of the end of 2022.
