Ben Moss Jewellers has been bought by the Halifax-based company, Charm Diamond Centres. With this announcement, more than 100 employees will keep their jobs with 75 more positions to be added across the 14 stores opening soon.
“We have been competitors for many years, decades,” said Charm Diamond Centres president, Troy Calder. “It was disappointing to see a Canadian legacy jeweller going under. We did want to see if we could save that legacy and help the customers and the staff.”
Though Charm Diamond Centre did not purchase any Ben Moss jewellery, the company did attain the lease assignments to 16 locations.
“We have plans of growing the Ben Moss brand in the future out West,” said Calder. As of now, two stores will be located in Winnipeg, Ben Moss Jewellers’ birthplace, while the others will be located across Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and B.C.
