Day's Jewelers

Day{s Jewelers was founded in 1914 by Captain Harry Davidson, whose ill health forced him to abandon a life at sea. The first Day{s was a small pawn shop/auction center located in the Old Port of Portland Maine.Shortly thereafter, Captain Davidson was joined in the business by his three sons. During the ensuing 30 years, the Davidson brothers opened 21 Day{s stores throughout northern New England. Day{s quickly became one of the most formidable jewelry store chains on the East Coast.In 1988, at ages 85 and 80 respectively, Sidney and David Davidson, the remaining owners of Day{s, decided to retire. They searched for new owners that would carry on their tradition of value, outstanding quality merchandise, and top level customer service.They found their new owners in Jeff, Jim, and Kathy Corey, and Mark Ford. Jeff and Jim{s father, Robert Corey, had worked for David and Sidney for several years before co-founding his own company in Northern Maine with his wife Enid. Both Jeff and Jim were taught at an early age to appreciate every customer, and treat them like a "King".Today, Day{s operates six stores throughout New England. The new owners combined skills and knowledge from the "old" Day{s with modern technology. This change was accomplished without sacrificing the exceptional personal customer service, fine quality, and low prices that have been the reason for Day{s success for over 90 years.
