October 26, 2023 (Hamilton, Ontario) – CF Lime Ridge is proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone as one of its long-standing retailers, Ashley Jewellers, marks an impressive 75-year commitment to the Hamilton community. 

"In CF Lime Ridge's four-decade journey, Ashley Jewellers has been an integral part of our mall's vibrant community from the very beginning," stated Andy Traynor, General Manager of CF Lime Ridge. "We take pride in honouring 75-year legacy of elegance and steadfast service to Hamilton, and wish them many more years of success within our centre."

As one of Hamilton's most enduring and beloved establishments, Ashley Jewellers has imprinted its presence in countless life stories. Founded in 1948 by Bill Ashley, Ashley Jewellers embarked on a journey that began as a humble jewellery store. Their vision was clear – to offer the highest quality jewellery and personalized service. Today, they stand as a cherished symbol of elegance and tradition, under the guidance of the second and third generations, Ross Ashley and Matt Ashley. From engagement rings that symbolize love's promise to extraordinary pieces commemorating significant milestones, they have become an important part of Hamiltonian's lives. 

"While our journey commenced over 75 years ago in Hamilton, CF Lime Ridge Mall has played an essential role in shaping our history," said Ross Ashley, Owner of Ashley Jewellers. "Our commitment to our clients has been the common thread uniting three generations of the Ashley family. We take pride in introducing the finest jewellery and timepieces to our community, a tradition initiated by our founders, Bill and Audrey Ashley."

On January 16, 1981, Ashley Jewellers etched a new chapter in its history when it signed a lease with CF Lime Ridge and became an original retailer when the mall opened on September 13, 1981. 

The 75th anniversary of Ashley Jewellers is not merely a celebration of its own history but also a testament to the enduring connection between a local business and the community it has diligently served. This milestone embodies the commitment and dedication that have defined Ashley Jewellers on its remarkable journey.
