In October 1948, Stephen Komara opened the doors to his very own jewelry store on State Street in Struthers, Ohio. His goal was to offer the very best quality to his neighbors and friends. In 1977, Steve's eldest son, Robert, opened Komara Jewelers' second location in Cornersburg, offering the same top quality jewelry through experienced sales dedication and affordable prices to their customers. With the east end of town (Struthers) and the west end of town (Cornersburg) attending to their growing list of satisfied customers, Steve Komara's youngest son, Tom, identified the need to serve all the customers in between, and in 1985 opened Komara Jewelers third store in Boardman. Komara Jewelers became a true force in diamond and jewelry buying power. Three stores dedicated to quality products, jewelry repair, and friendly customer service made Komara Jewelers a household name in the Youngstown area. In order to accomodate their ever growing customer base, Bob Komara moved his Cornersburg store to its present location, in the Coal Creek Plaza in 1993. And since their father's retirement and closing of the Struthers store, Tom Komara relocated his Boardman store to the Bull Market Square in Poland. Although store locations have changed over the years, and dispite the recent closing of Tom's Boardman store, one thing that has never changed is the ideals upon which their father, the founder of Komara Jewelers, established in 1948... "To treat customers the way you want to be treated..." The diamond buying expertise, trained by thier father, has helped maintain Komara Jewelers reputation as Northeast Ohio's Best Diamond and Jewelry Value. Now, Komara Jewelers looks to extend its legacy in the Valley into a third generation with Bob's Daughter, Brianna Komara as a GIA Graduate Gemologist and Bob's son Robert, as a Graduate Jeweler.
