Reeds Jewelers Expands, Relocates Flagship
The New York-based jeweler is moving its Amherst flagship store to a larger location in nearby Snyder.
Reeds Jewelers also relocated its Syracuse store earlier this year. Pictured is the new, expanded showroom, located at 100 Dewey Ave. in Fayetteville, New York.
Snyder, N.Y.—Reeds Jewelers announced it will relocate its flagship store from its longtime location on Maple Road in Amherst, New York, to the corner of Main Street and Chateau Terrace in Snyder, New York.
The new store is under construction and expected to open in May 2027, according to local news.
It will be larger than the previous location, with more than 12,285 square feet of dedicated jewelry retail space.
The relocation represents a new chapter for the fine jeweler, which was founded in 1912.
The business has been in the Zimmer family since 1932 and is currently led by Jeffrey Zimmer, the third-generation owner of the business, who also serves as president and CEO.
“It was really time for us to move and expand to keep evolving our business,” said Zimmer.
“We’ve been serving this community for over a hundred years, and this expansion gives us an opportunity to create new jobs and continue investing in our associates.”
