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 on August 28, 2026, in partnership with the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce. The event, held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., recognized the store's legacy in the community and brought together local leaders, elected officials' representatives, and business members.
The ceremony took place 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 on behalf of their respective offices, underscoring the occasion's significance to the broader San Ramon community.
Brandon Heller spoke on behalf of the store, reflecting on the family's three decades of serving San Ramon and the community 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 ribbon-cutting kicks off a season of 30th-anniversary programming for Heller Jewelers, including additional community and client events planned for later this year.
This milestone is not just a celebration of longevity but a testament to the importance of family-owned businesses in local economies. Heller Jewelers, founded by Scott and Catherine Heller, has grown from a single store to a trusted name in the community, now home to a second generation of the Heller family in the business. The store offers bridal, fine jewelry, and an authorized selection of luxury watch brands, alongside personalized client service rooted in three decades of local relationships.
The anniversary event highlights the role of small businesses in fostering community ties and economic stability. As Heller Jewelers continues to serve San Ramon, its commitment to celebrating life's special moments remains at the core of its mission, ensuring that the next 30 years will be as impactful as the first.
