Mass. jeweler wins top local business award
Attleboro Jewelers was awarded the 2014 Business of the Year Award by the United Regional Chamber of Commerce in Massachusetts.
Each year, the chamber chooses one company within the 16 communities that it serves to be the business of the year. The award is given to a well-established chamber member business with sales increases that indicate continued growth.
Other criteria include employees donating time to community projects, fundraising, or other projects that work to better the community.
Nancy Young opened Attleboro Jewelers in 1994 through the support of 15 local jewelry manufacturers that supplied the store with products, which were sold at outlet prices. The retailer has since added well-known national brands to its lineup.

Attleboro Jewelers was nominated for the honor by Kelly Fox of Ameriprise Financial, who said about the store, “In its 19th year, Attleboro Jewelers enjoys record revenues and supports a myriad of community and civic causes. In spite of very challenging times for the jewelry industry, Attleboro Jewelers has experienced consistent growth. It is a business that is here to stay and is the anchor for Attleboro’s downtown business district.”
