Gordons Jewelers FAQs
What is the history of Gordons Jewelers?
Gordon's Jewelers was founded by Meyer Morris Gordon, who immigrated to Texas from Lithuania around 1894. The first general merchandise business was opened in Houston in 1905, selling groceries, shoes, and hardware. The first jewelry business was a partnership with Denis McGaughon known as McGaughon and Gordon, which opened at Houston in 1916. This store took the name Gordon's after World War I, when the founder bought out his partner and was subsequently joined by his sons and son-in-law in the family business. The first Gordon's jewelry store outside Houston was established at Beaumont in 1934, and in 1936 the firm expanded outside the state, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In 1939 Gordon's achieved $1 million in sales, and in 1946 the firm moved to its first suburban shopping area location in Houston. Between 1946 and 1950 the company opened five more stores, and thereafter three to six stores were established regularly each year. Gordon's began to integrate its holdings after 1956, with the acquisition of other local and regional jewelry stores, and over the next thirty years a total of 450 to 500 Gordon's stores opened. The company went public in 1961 and acquired the Star Engraving Company of Houston in 1969. Net earnings increased from $1 million in 1964 to $10 million by 1974. By 1982 the firm employed 7,250 workers and operated 681 units in forty-four states and Puerto Rico. In the 1980s Gordon's sought to expand its market by offering jewelry valued from $5 to $100,000. The firm used a design staff located in New York and Houston, and purchased gold, diamonds, and precious stones. These it supplied to independent contractors for manufacture according to company specifications, thereby achieving lower unit costs and individualized styling. The company reorganized into two divisions. One division offered diamonds, watches, gold jewelry, and nonjewelry items to a middle-income clientele. In 1989, Zale acquired Gordon's Jewelers, which had been a major competitor.
