Pandora’s largest North America franchisee is returning ownership of its 37 stores to the Danish jewellery company.
Ben Bridge Jeweler, a family-run watch and jewellery retailer, hopes to pivot focus back to its core business and create new opportunities for expansion. The 110-year-old company first partnered with Pandora for West Coast business growth in the spring of 2010, evolving from a roll-out of Pandora in all Ben Bridge stores to free-standing Pandora stores in British Columbia, as well as five American states.
“The cornerstone of our business is building customers for life and that is why we first fell in love with Pandora,” says Ben Bridge Jeweler president and CEO, Lisa Bridge. “This has been an important and successful chapter in our history, and we know our team will be in excellent hands as a part of the broader Pandora organization. This pivot will give us greater focus and enable us to innovate and grow in new ways.”
Pandora aims to assume ownership of the 37 franchises by early March.
