Windsor Jewelry closing after over 100 years of business
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Iconic Indianapolis business Windsor Jewelry is going out of business on Jan. 4.
The store has been open since 1919 and has long been just a stone’s throw away from Monument Circle. Now, its owner, Greg Bires, is retiring and closing up shop.
The grandpa to eight has run the shop for decades, alongside his wife, Lynn.
“You know I just turned, 70, and I’ve decided it’s time for me to spend more time with my family,” Bires said. “So, we decided to have a retirement “going out of business” sale going on right now.”
Bires said several of the items are now up to 80% off. He said people from all over have come to the store for their final chance to purchase one of the heirlooms.
“The end date is the fourth of January,” Bires said. “So, that’s just right around the corner. We’re hoping that the you know the inventory will be minimized.”
Having been open for about 105 years, the shop is rich in history. The Bires’ took over running it in 1998.
