About Borsheims
How does a single store in Omaha, Nebraska, become one of the largest jewelry stores in the nation? By never forgetting our history. It began 150 years ago, when Louis Borsheim opened a jewelry store in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. In 1947, Louis Friedman bought the business and operated it with his son Ike. While Louis and Ike Friedman kept the Borsheims name, they ushered in a new era of success for the jewelry store. Ike, a dynamic businessman, developed the business philosophy that still guides the company today: offer an extensive inventory and exceptional customer service at the lowest poss...ible price. It was an approach that worked, leading Borsheims to outgrow its downtown facility and move to the anchor position in Regency Court mall in 1986. In 1989, renowned investor Warren Buffett purchased a majority of Borsheims stock, making it part of his famous holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. Borsheims continues to grow today under the leadership of President and CEO Karen Goracke. Borsheims' location in Omaha's Regency Court is more than 62,500 square feet, including a large watch department, gift gallery, full-service jewelry repair and design shop and private showing areas for shoppers wishing to escape the public eye.

We will treat each opportunity with the respect and importance it deserves by providing exceptional customer service.
