After about 130 years, Stoverud’s has papered its windows in preparation for a going-out-of-business sale starting Thursday, Dec. 11.
The jewelry store is one of Missoula’s oldest retailers, a downtown institution in its way. It was founded as Kohn Jewelers in 1879 before owner Kathy Stoverud’s grandfather bought it in 1945. It is located in the historic Florence Hotel and fronts North Higgins Avenue. Stoverud declined to say why the store would soon close its doors.
