2701 University Ave, Madison, WI, 53705
jewelry store
Ownership
Tracy Schoohs purchased the store from her father Glenn Gardner in 2015. She is an independent owner who is a Madison resident, though not originally founded by locals in 1962.
Local Sourcing
The store stocks Swiss timepieces including Hamilton, Tissot, Swiss Army, Bertucci field watches, Daniel Wellington, and Timex, with an exclusive Dykman's Brand. Most inventory is from national/international watch brands with limited local production data.
Community Involvement
No specific community sponsorships, nonprofit partnerships, or school involvement are documented in search results. The store supports a fellow business owner through personal encouragement, but broader community engagement is not evident.
Local Workforce
Staff include Paul Donahue with 20+ years tenure, CJ Schnier with over 40 years, and Salem with 10 years. The store has a 4.7 star rating from 149 reviewers, indicating consistently positive customer experiences and strong employee quality.
Revenue Retention
As a small independent business with limited employee count (2-4 staff), revenue likely stays primarily local but there's no specific data on profit margins, supplier payments, or owner reinvestment patterns in the community.
Local Presence
Strong local signals include Madison/WI references throughout, single-location focus, local phone number, personal email address, specific holiday closures, exclusive house brand, and customer testimonials by name. Minimal corporate signals present—no location selector, franchise language, or parent company references.
