Kranich's Jewelers is a family owned jewelry store with locations in Altoona, State College and Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Kranich's Jewelers specialize in designer jewelry including many brands of designer watches.

History

Kranich's Jewelers was established in York, Pennsylvania, in 1903. The company was originally called Kranich Brothers Jewelers. The Kranich brothers had stores in York, Lancaster and Altoona, Pennsylvania as well as one in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Altoona store opened in 1923. Charles and Mildred Kranich operated and expanded the Altoona operation. In 1962, Charles and Mildred were joined in business by their son, Michael. In 1976 the Kranich's opened a store in downtown State College, the home of Pennsylvania State University.

Charles and Mildred Kranich died in 1978 and Michael took over the family business. Michael Kranich was joined in business by his son Charles in 1991 and then by his son Michael in 1996. Charles and Michael now serve as Co-Presidents of the company. Michael Kranich is a registered American Gem Society jeweler.[1]

In 1996, Kranich's opened a second State College location at the Nittany Mall. In 2000, Kranich’s opened a location in The Johnstown Galleria. In 2008, Kranich’s dramatically expanded their Logan Valley Mall location and corporate offices.

In 2012, Kranich's moved from its Nittany Mall location to a new, much larger 3,200 sq. ft. store on North Atherton Street in State College.

Milestones and awards
