COMPANY HISTORY

Our History So Far

Since our beginnings over ten years ago we have grown to 10 retail outlets, over 70 great staff and a successful online jewellery store. Whilst we are always looking to grow with new locations we focus on maintaining a small and effective team structure with company owned stores. Below are some of Silver Shop’s historic milestones.

November 2009
Our Townsville store has outgrown its 40m2 site and we have secured a great 120m2 position in preparation for the centre's extension and refurbishment.  The store now becomes the largest in the group and Jacqui and her team are "proud as punch".
