Heller Jewelers, a family-owned fine jewelry and luxury timepiece retailer located at City Center Bishop Ranch, celebrated its 30th anniversary on August 28, 2026, with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted in partnership with the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce. The event, held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., recognized the store's standing as a legacy business in the community and brought together local leaders, elected officials' representatives, and members of the business community for the celebration.
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, 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 highlights the importance of small, family-owned businesses in maintaining the character and economic vitality of local communities. Heller Jewelers' longevity is a testament to its commitment to personalized client service and its role in celebrating life's special moments. The event not only recognized the store's past achievements but also reinforced its ongoing presence in the San Ramon area, as it continues to serve a new generation of customers.
The celebration also served as a reminder of the value of community partnerships, as evidenced by the collaboration with the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce and the involvement of local elected officials. Such events strengthen the social fabric and foster a sense of belonging among residents and business owners alike.
Heller Jewelers, founded by Scott and Catherine Heller, has been a staple at City Center Bishop Ranch for three decades, and now includes a second generation of the Heller family in the business. The store offers bridal, fine jewelry, and an authorized selection of luxury watch brands, all backed by a mission of making lasting memories for life's special moments.
As Heller Jewelers embarks on its next chapter, the anniversary celebration serves as a marker of its enduring legacy and its commitment to the San Ramon community. The planned events later this year will likely continue to engage clients and community members, further cementing the store's role as a trusted local institution.
