Jason surveys his company’s new digs 2 weeks ago

Discovery Sea Kayaks (on Facebook here) has moved to 260 Spring St. or “Jeri’s Mall”, into the space where San Juan Jewels was, at the front of the building, next to the San Juan Hotshop. Jason Gunter and business partner Richard Swanson say they are very excited to have a new location, closer to where it’s all at with a much more visible store front. They’ll have more space, and will also have an easier time loading their customers out through the back in the newly paved parking lot behind the building. That’s Jason above, overseeing the interior renovations a couple weeks ago. And the photo below shows how the store looks now.

New ceiling, new lighting, new paint, new carpet… all makes for a great new location.

So you know that San Juan Jewels moved, but did you know it has new owners? John King and his wife Sarah bought the business, and they’ve moved from the front of the building, down the hall on the left in between Vinny’s Pizza and the Jerky place. John says they will keep many of the same items that the store had before including watch battery replacement, but will be also be doing appraisals, custom jewelry design, onsite repairs while-you-wait, and higher end upscale jewelry as well. Previously, John operated a store in California for sculptor Bernard K. Passman and has run galleries in Las Vegas. He’s been in business here at his new location for just over a week now.
