Despite humble beginnings, and selling jewelry with kids running around in the back room, word of mouth about the store spread fast. Wally already had many contacts in the jewelry industry, and Ron knew customers from Snyder’s who trusted him enough to help him get the store off the ground.
After a couple years, the team opened another storefront in the Village Shopping Center in Boulder. However, being in a new city presented new challenges. Wally, BJ, and Gail found it hard to start over without a strong network in Boulder. Five years later, an exciting opportunity presented itself and the store was able to move to an upscale shopping center, The Water Street Complex, where it is still located today.
In 1991, Don Janson joined the partnership bringing 18 years of diverse jewelry experience with him. Don, the face most of you know today, proved exponentially valuable to the store, and he was quickly dubbed the “&” in the name Walters & Hogsett.
In 1993 Wally, BJ, and Gail, decided to focus on the single Boulder location. In 2001 they expanded the store, and six years after that, the next generation of Vieregg joined the team. When Wally and BJ retired in 2013, the ownership of the store was transferred to Wally’s nephew Mark Vieregg, and Don Janson.
After more than 35 years of building client relationships, Walters & Hogsett continues to thrive and serve clients and community with the highest quality jewelry, services and personal attention. Today, Walters & Hogsett is a top ranked jeweler with one focus: to surprise and delight customers by combining the essence of luxury with the warmth of a family.
