don’t want to move away, they re-invent
themselves — that’s what makes this city
exciting,” Anderson said.
THE FUTURE AND
WHAT IT HOLDS
Despite opportunities to open other
branches, the company has stayed rooted
to downtown Calgary for the past nine de-
cades. “My dad used to say it’s hard to be
in two places at the same time,” Anderson
joked.
Bigger isn’t always better, but there is al-
ways opportunity to do better, Anderson
said, and so his vision is to attribute a cen-
tury to J. Vair’s existence — a milestone
that he looks forward to experiencing. The
J. Vair team is presently focused on taking
it to the next level, and extending J. Vair far
into the future.
“They don’t want their mother’s jewellery. They want something contemporary,
something modern.”
