Saturday is a big day for Paris Jewellers.
They are hosting their Sip, Shop and Sparkle Grand Opening Party at Orchard Park Mall.
It is the company’s 26th location in four provinces across Canada.
Co-Owner Chau Lui and her family have been dreaming of opening in Kelowna for over 10 years.
“As we were expanding our stores across Canada, our family bought this giant map and then we had it framed and we put it up on our wall. We would put stickers on where we wanted to grow the company and we would dream really big. So, for us to be opening a store in Kelowna now, it's really a dream come true.”
From November 2nd – 17th, a portion of all sales will be donated to JoeAnnna's House.
Additionally, Lui said all proceeds from the limited-edition Joy Pendant will be donated to Mamas for Mamas.
“We have 250 employees and we're 90 percent women. Mamas for Mamas, they provide so much support for mums and families in need that may be facing poverty. So, for us, it was really important to support a local organization that really gave back,” said Lui.
The party will start with a ribbon cutting and continue into the afternoon with festive drinks, treats, prizes, and multiple giveaways to celebrate.
The first 100 customers to make a purchase will also receive a free limited-edition Elle necklace.
“We just feel really grateful to be a part of this community. Everybody that we've talked to in the City of Kelowna, they've been so supportive and we're just really excited, we feel really grateful and we're looking forward to seeing everybody and celebrating with them,” said Lui.
Doors open at 9a.m., and runs until 4p.m.
