Recently, Kloiber Jewelers joined the OnMilwaukee.com ShopLocal marketplace, and since it's Valentine's Day week I thought you might be interested a few of this 90-year-old Milwaukee retailers wares.
Yep, Kloiber Jewelers has been in Downtown Milwaukee for nine decades, since 1926. Currently in the U.S. Bank Center's galleria level, it's had a few homes in Downtown and two owners. The current owner, Karin Volz, inherited the business from the founder. In the back of the store there's a photo of Mr. Kloiber. The plaque below it showcases the old-school Milwaukee history noting it was "photographed by Robert W. Baird." Yep, that Robert W. Baird.
Kloiber, like many jewelers, buys pieces from around the world but also does custom work and home and office visits. And, now, you buy online or stop in. And, if you stop in, you also have check out the new DK Kitchen right around the corner. It's great, and truly a new, modern concept for dining in a big office tower.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
