MOUNTZ JEWELERS EXPANDS STORE AND SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

"The opening of this new store is a great step forw for consu
"The opening of this new store is a great step forward for us and for consumers
in Central Pennsylvania." Opened in 1956, Mountz Jewelers remains a family-owned
business that started in Carlisle, and has grown to include stores in both Harrisburg and
Camp Hill. Bazaar Magazine recognized Mountz Jewelers as Central Pennsylvania's
leading jewelry retailer in 2007.

But it's not all about business at Mountz. With the family's dedication to fine quality jewelry
and outstanding customer service also comes their longtime philanthropic commitment to
Carlisle and Central Pennsylvania through organizations such as the United Way, the
Jake Gittlen Cancer Research Foundation, the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition, and
the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts. Current charitable efforts include promoting
and raising funds for autism awareness with the sale of autism awareness bracelets in their stores.

Mountz Jewelers takes pride in partnering with many organizations in Central Pennsylvania that
are dedicated to improving life in the community and helping citizens in need. The addition of the
new Mountz location is yet another example of how Central Pennsylvania is growing. In previous
years, the local retail and social scene could not remotely compare to larger metropolitan areas
such as Philadelphia. "We've been a part of the Central Pennsylvania community for 50 years and
have seen so much change and growth during that time," said Leitzel.

"While there is still road to be traveled, the area is certainly budding and making its mark."
A family-run business that opened in 1956, Mountz Jewelers is the leading jewelry retailer in
Central Pennsylvania. With three locations in the Harrisburg area, Mountz stands for an
extraordinary jewelry experience in terms of product, service and value.

Imagine receiving an invitation to
join something truly special! A membership
so exclusive, so prestigious, that only
100 such invitations are offered, worldwide!
That's the significance of Mountz Jewelers
selection into the
"Leading Jewelers of the World"!

What does this high honor mean to you?
It means that one of the world's most
extraordinary jewelers is located right here
in Central Pennsylvania.

But it also means that Mountz enjoys
exclusive access in the jewelry business;
such as our ability to purchase
diamonds directly from the diamond mines.
