San Ramon, CA – Heller Jewelers, a family-owned fine jewelry and luxury timepiece retailer at City Center Bishop Ranch, celebrated its 30th anniversary with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony held in partnership with the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce. The event, which took place from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., brought together local leaders, representatives from elected officials' offices, and members of the business community to recognize the store's longstanding presence in the area.
The ceremony was held in front of the store, where Danielle Cook, President and CEO of the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce, opened the program and introduced Chamber leadership and visiting dignitaries. Terry Koehne, Chairman of the Chamber's Board of Directors, and Peter Niles, representing the Chamber Ambassadors, offered remarks, followed by the presentation of a Chamber plaque commemorating the milestone. Representatives from the offices of Senator Tim Grayson and Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan also attended and spoke, underscoring the occasion's significance to the broader San Ramon community.
Brandon Heller, who spoke on behalf of the store, reflected on the family's three decades of serving San Ramon and the relationships built along the way. “Thirty years ago, my parents opened our doors with a simple goal: to help celebrate life's special moments through fine jewelry and luxury timepieces. To stand here today, surrounded by the community that made that possible, is something we don't take for granted,” he said.
Following the ceremony, guests were invited to join a networking mixer and celebration. The event kicked off a season of 30th-anniversary programming for Heller Jewelers, including additional community and client events planned for later this year.
This anniversary marks a significant milestone for a family-owned business that has become a fixture in San Ramon. Founded by Scott and Catherine Heller, the store has served the community for three decades and now includes a second generation of the Heller family in the business. Its mission, as stated by the company, is “making lasting memories for life's special moments with fine jewelry and luxury timepieces,” offering bridal, fine jewelry, and an authorized selection of luxury watch brands alongside personalized client service rooted in local relationships.
The celebration underscores the importance of local businesses in fostering community ties and economic vitality. By partnering with the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce, Heller Jewelers highlighted its commitment to the region, a sentiment echoed by the presence of local officials and business leaders. As the company moves forward with its anniversary programming, it continues to build on a legacy of service and community engagement that has defined its three decades in San Ramon.
