My Dad always told me that the two things you need most in retail, besides a great product of course, are visibility and accessibility. So in order to ensure that our customers can get to us easily, park right out front, and park for free, we have decided to move to a new location, at least until construction downtown is completed.
Kuhn's is moving to Sea Gull Square right on Rt. 13. In celebration of our Grand-Reopening we will be offering a sleighful of savings for the holidays. Come and see our new space, our exciting new jewelry, gifts, the amazing artwork of Abbi Custis and experience the kind of quality and service you have come to expect from Kuhn's Jewelers.
With love and thanks for your continued support,
Susan Kuhn Purnell
I'm not surprised. Jake has killed down town
ReplyDeleteDowntown has been torn up for way to long now, with no end in sight. All that work could have been done in less than a year with proper planning and a competent work force. Businesses are suffering and have no choice but to relocate if they want to survive.
DeleteWell Jake what do you have to say now?
ReplyDeleteGreat job Jake! Scaring away decades old business. Bring on the section 8 slums!
ReplyDeleteI think this speaks volumes about downtown. When a true staple moves, listen up Jakey poo, you have screwed up!
ReplyDeleteShould have done that decades ago.
ReplyDeleteSmart lady!
ReplyDeleteAs that great statesman B.O. once said: "Elections have consequences!".
ReplyDeleteThere you have it, citizens of Salisbury. You elect stupid mayors, you win stupid prizes!
Does anyone know how long Kuhn's has been in that location?
This marks the end of an era. Vernon Powell was the second last to go. The heart and class that these iconic local stores brought to downtown was very special, but I can see why smart business would dictate they leave. Glad to see VP continuing to do well and wishing Kuhn’s and Susan all the best in their new location.
ReplyDeleteDowntown is being re-imagined as a place for millenials - bars, foodie places. Millenials dont want jewelry. Sad to see the construction meant to revitalize downtown, actually killing downtown. No one can get from one spot to another without falling over construction. At least Kuhns is staying in business, hot my engagement ring there.
ReplyDeleteBeen expecting her to move that business for a while - for just that reason.
ReplyDeleteDowntown Salisbury is becoming the $4!th0le that Fake and company want!
Jake will make it a Obama cellphone outlet.
ReplyDeleteThis is a temporary move
ReplyDeleteIt may be a temporary move, until it's permanent!
ReplyDeleteI just spoke with an eatery owner downtown and they are VERY concerned and upset with the way 'downtown' is being destroyed. Their business is suffering because of all the nonsense taking place there.
ReplyDeleteWho is paying the rent?
ReplyDeleteWe understand the city got an offset for her in new location owned by the state of Maryland!! I would love to have a business with free rent too.
Will they be doing this for other businesses?
Well !They keep tearing up the street,no wonder stores are leaving there. But that is the plan so Gillis and the good ole boys can buy it up and make college apartments down there.
ReplyDeleteA great store in business for generations, wish the staff well.

ReplyDeleteInteresting comment.
Shouldn't downtown be re-imagined for EVERYONE?
And this was Wayne King's (competing candidate's) comment.
While Jake focuses in on a couple of specific groups he has ignored the majority of his community. LGBQ, college and 30 somethings. If you are not in those categories our local government doesn't care about you.
Gee I was wondering about that abandoned community center he and that Jerimichael? dude started on Naylor that doesnt seem to have ever opened. More wasted tax dollars on expensive pipe dreams.
Get your tickets to the greatest clown show in town. The Jake Day Show, come one come all.
10:35 AM College kids don't want to live there.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they can make more fake "luxury" apartments that no one can afford and then turn section 8 like the "artist" community.
How much more stupid does this guy have to do before you koolaid drinking idiots wake up?
I don't know Susan Kuhn but it must have been a really difficult decision. That's a family business, right? I know they've been downtown forever. A staple on the plaza. So sorry they had to leave. And I'm sure they had to. I mean how in the world could they have kept up the business with all that mess going on around there?! I'm glad for her and I'm sorry, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, he seems to care about millennials and the college community. The rest of us can go to hell. The irony is I wonder how many young guys really want this. I know young huys who don't want this! He is catering to his business friends.
ReplyDeleteWho cares!! If it wasn't for the fortune her family made decades ago the doors would have been closed 20 years ago. She's a progressive liberal groupie of Jake Day's and has her head up the SU crowds A**. It's no coincidence she's at 1306 south salisbury BLVD. They can't seem to fill the place and I'm sure Jake Day has given her plenty of incentive to relocate
ReplyDeleteJake Day has ruined your city people!! Just had to go out to DMV and I can't believe all the apartment complexes built out that way now. Sad sad sad to think day sees this as beneficial to salisbury's well being. As far as kuhn's this business saw its better days decades ago. You can bet she's gotten a sweet deal to relocate and day will probably buy the property from her for twice what it's worth
ReplyDelete"My Dad always told me that the two things you need most in retail, besides a great product of course, are visibility and accessibility."
ReplyDeleteDamn Jake, What you say now, buddy! I guess that the Downtown Renaissance isn't all you say it is. Why do I feel I have been lied to?
Where are all the rabid Jake Day lovers now? How do you defend this?
Where are all the "Jake Day has done such great things for downtown Salisbury" supporters??
Come on guys, how do you defend this one??
Just in time for the election. LMAO

Susan Kuhn is just an old white woman anyway. Right Jake Day, right Josh Hastings!

Jake Day doesn't have money to buy that building. What a DUMB comment.
@11:42 what rock are you living under?? If Jake day does his normal smoke and mirrors scam he has as much money he wants to spend at his disposal as mayor of Salisbury. Hell come up with some stupid A** need for salisbury to buy the kuhn's building and Heath, Boda and Jackson will bend over backwards to get it done. Day probably already has plans to turn it into a city run program for the addicts and homey everywhere downtown. @11:42 get a life with your grammar policing. You obviously got the point being said and didn't like the content
DeleteI don’t know why she’s upset about lack of free parking, just put a bike rack up for all the bikers and Salisbury. All the roadwork has been for the bikers screw the automobile. Bring on the circle cluster %#*! Slated next Jake
ReplyDelete@8:53AM. If millennials don't want/buy jewelry why is Kuhns being relocated to Sea Gull Square?
ReplyDeleteThis is not a unique occurrence among small cities. The same thing has been going on in Cumberland and Hagerstown.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what evening the Mayor debate is taking place and where? Anxious to meet and hear Wayne King speak and then listen to poor old Jake make a bunch of promises he cannot keep! And listen to him tell everyone how great he is....and all his great accomplishments! Not.......
ReplyDeleteJack Purnell is rolling over in his grave with this garbage along with Susan's selling out to SU and progressive liberal Jake Day's incompetence at leading salisbury.
ReplyDeleteJake Day chases food delivery people that are delivering to his neighbors’ houses because he doesn’t know what they are doing. It’s very poor behavior from someone who has the entire police force at his fingertips. Yes that really happened. Fake Day is taking the law into his own hands .

ReplyDeleteJewelry and clothes are the most over priced stuff. I can not believe they even bother to open another store. If the Debeers cartel flooded the market with their diamonds holdings they would be in gum ball machines.
ReplyDelete5 years that work has been going on.
ReplyDeleteI do't blame Kuhn's for leaving. They should sue the city and Jake Day for ruining their business. If I was them, I certainly would not even consider coming back. In trying to revitalize downtown, (which is beating a dead horse). he is destroying downtown. It was a lot better before he got his rainbow fingers in the pie. There will be others leave too and they should all sue Jake Day for all their lost revenue.
ReplyDeleteRead the article, it's temporarily until all the construction is done. Blessed Jesus, it has been a long time, 5 years, they build interstates faster than this.

ReplyDeleteOctober 8, 2019 at 5:25 PM - I do not understand why people protect this assclown. If people knew a fraction of what this guy does he would have been ousted years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have a population of 33K and only 1% vote, this is what you get. day health boda gregory taylor jackson. Need I say more? You get the picture. wait till anti white black lives matter sheppard gets his grip into government. you should see his hate filled fb page.
What this post does not say is that the move is temporary, and Kuhn's will be moving back to their old location when all the downtown renovations and repairs are made. The owner couldn't stay there for a year and a half with all the disruption. They'll be back (so she says). And temporarily moving is getting the business TONS of free publicity.
ReplyDeletePlease she won't be back downtown!! Watch and learn how salisbury business is done today!! She's a Jake Day and SU groupie she'll get free rent for 18 months and the city WILL come up with some BS report of a grant award allowing the city to pay Purnell double the property value. Day will make this another " arts venue" or "hospital center". Salisbury you've just gotten "JAKED-OFF" again!! When are you people going to wake up
ReplyDeleteDid any of you read the article? This is only until the Downtown work is completed. She is dedicated to the Downtown and having her business there. That being said I can only blame the fat lazy folks that do not want to park for free and walk around the corner to do business on The Plaza. There is plenty of free parking down there for those who wish to support the area.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me your not that gullible to think that once she's relocated close to her fellow liberal SU crowd she will ever go back to what's become downtown Salisbury
DeleteYou have to remember Sby is no longer the classy sounding Crossroads of Delmarva. It is now the ghetto---- The Bury or as those with class and sophistication say The Crotch of Delmarva. A shop that actually sells something of value, an investment is not seen as worthwhile to those who have no sense of pride or self worth, self respect or self esteem. They are content being nothing but slaves to the system. It will be replaced with something as equally useless such as a coffee shop and stupidly named eatery or something selling worthless junk.
ReplyDeleteFunny this Jake bullied her about the article and now she got a sign in her window. I heard him asking her why she would do that to him at wor wic. He is a bully!
ReplyDeleteThere has been no Downtown for years now and no one person killed it. The people got what they wanted Wal-Mart, Aldi, Chick-Fil-a, Home Depot and they are praying for a Cracker Barrel. The nostalgic notions of a Historic quaint cultural hub is a waste of time here. People with money, the Doctors and Lawyers and administrators from elsewhere looking for culture weekend elsewhere and certainly won't retire here. Their gigs here are just a line item on their resume moving up. I miss small businesses where they know your name and your family but that's all gone now. Shopping being a pass time here since there is little else to do people wan't cheap shit. It amazes me though they bitch about the lack of service.

ReplyDeleteEven the ex SU president who took big money out of the community up and moved on.
Very few business owners live in the city limits.
