G.M. Pollack & Sons Jewelers opens newest store in Augusta, ME!

G.M. POLLACK & SONS JEWELERS OPENS FIRST EMPLOYEE-OWNED STORE IN AUGUSTA, ME!

SCARBOROUGH MAINE -- OCTOBER 2009 -- G. M. POLLACK & SONS JEWELERS, Maine’s first Employee-Owned Jewelry Chain based in Scarborough, ME, has opened their newest store in Augusta, Maine at the Turnpike Mall on Whitten Road, next to TJ Maxx. After more than fifty years in the downtown Augusta area, when the opportunity presented itself with more space and an excellent location, the timing was perfect for this current business environment.

The ribbon-cutting was shared with the new owners and the Augusta sales staff at the Grand Opening on Thursday, October 15, 2009.

Started in 1955, G.M. Pollack & Sons Jewelers has a total of twelve jewelry stores; eleven throughout Maine and one in NH. Stan Pollack retired in 2008 and in April of 2009, a group of employees purchased the company from the Pollack family.
