James Free Jewelers Reopens Flagship Store in Dayton, OH, After Major Remodel

(PRESS RELEASE) KETTERING, OH — James Free Jewelers, located in Dayton, OH, announced the grand reopening of its flagship store at 3100 Far Hills Ave. Following a remodel, the store has been redesigned to offer what the company describes as a more 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.”
