The expansion brings exclusive offerings to clients in Omaha, said Gunderson’s Jewelers, as the location provides access to brands that were previously only available on the coasts or exclusively in Europe.
Since first opening in Sioux City, Iowa in 1945, the jeweler has expanded to offer fine jewelry and timepieces across five states.
The Omaha location marks its fifth store, joining Sioux City, Iowa; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Fargo, North Dakota; and Wayzata, Minnesota.
The new store is located at 102 N 145th St.
