With summer right around the corner, business continues to boom on the Eastern Shore. From ice cream shops to barbeque restaurants to neighborhood pizzerias, the Delmarva Peninsula has it all.
Check out what's opening, closing and coming soon in the business world this week.
Salisbury
Kyle Edward Fine Jewelry
1131 S Salisbury Blvd #3
After almost 12 years of serving the Salisbury community with fine jewelry for every occasion, Kyle Edward Fine Jewelry’s store in Salisbury is closing permanently. In order to liquidate inventory, the jewelry store is hosting a sale, with savings up to 70% off custom jewelry featuring diamonds, gold, gemstones and more.
Kyle Bounds and his wife opened Kyle Edward Fine Jewelry in Bounds' hometown of Salisbury in 2013. The closure of the Salisbury store will allow the jewelers' team to focus on offering an elevated selection and next-level services at their Easton location, 27 S Harrison St. which will remain open, said the jewelers in a news release.
“We tap into the personal side of jewelry, creating pieces as memoirs or reflections of events past and present. Over the last 12 years, I have developed so many positive relationships with clients, which I hope to continue at the Easton store," said Bounds, who thanks the community for its support and invites everyone to Easton.
