On October 3, 2011, Silver of Westport will move to their new “old” location at 390 Post Road East in Westport. What? This was their original location when they moved to the Compo Shopping Center in 1951. In 1992, they moved to their current, now old, location just down 4 spaces at 404 Post Road East. 

The Grand Opening will be October 15. And, “everything old is new again”!  The brother/sister owners, Stephen and Susan Silver are bringing back the door prizes that their father Phil conceptualized and implemented for the location.  You're invited to come visit and enter the Grand Opening Drawing to win FREE gifts. There are several groupings to choose from, all with values of $500 or more. Entries must be made by Oct 31.

Of Course, the merchandise has changed over the years.  Silver of Westport has always lead in offering innovative product assortments and that has not changed.   Father Phil was always a “techy” before the word existed. The apple did not fall far from the tree as Stephen’s enthusiasm in the area of technology,  gadgetry and luggage are contagious. Susan is well known in the fashion accessories and handbag arena as a savvy buyer who recognizes trends early and is creative in her offerings.

The new “old” space was designed by the Granoff Architect, Andreas Stresemann.  Stephen’s son David is an associate at the design group and is the project administrator.  The store is light, bright, contemporary and filled with simply the best assortment of the unusual and unexpected. In addition, there are still the expected quality brands of luggage, leather goods, handbags and briefcases.

Silver of Westport is truly a remarkable multi-generation family effort in the best sense. The brother/sister devotion and respect is clearly evident and spills over to the extended family of sales associates who are an integral part of the business

October 3 will be a soft opening followed by the grand opening on October 15.  So stop by, enter for a door prize of your choice, and let them “show you the love”!
