(PRESS RELEASE) KETTERING OH — James Free Jewelers located in Dayton Ohio announced the grand reopening of its flagship store at 3100 Far Hills Avenue. Following a transformative remodel, the store has been redesigned to offer an improved, modern experience for its customers.
“The future of luxury retail is immersive, and deeply personal. With this redesign, we’ve created that future; a modern, exciting space where hospitality meets high craftsmanship, and every visit is an event” says Michael Karaman, President of James Free Jewelers. “It was a deliberate strategic move to deconstruct the traditional multi-brand showroom and rebuild it as a curated collection of dedicated brand boutiques.”

Doubling the store footprint, James Free designed and constructed six fully realized, brand-authentic environments within the store for Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Breitling, David Yurman, and Roberto Coin. This investment is a direct response to the consumer demand for immersive, branded retail experiences. Creating dedicated spaces allows for better brand storytelling, and the ability to host true designer specific events.

This project represents a significant collaboration with our key brands. The remodel solved the complex puzzle of maintaining a cohesive store identity while allowing distinct brand personalities to shine.
