For 35 years people have trusted Walter and Lois Goodrich when choosing wedding rings, watches, jewelry and the finest upscale gifts in northern Maine. Unlike large, impersonal chains or discount stores, Goodrich’s has that special, individualized touch that makes your shopping experience a pleasure.
Customers travel from beyond the greater Houlton area to take advantage of Walter’s expert knowledge as a watchmaker and graduate gemologist for their repairs, appraisals and gift purchases. When you’re lost for an idea on what gift to give, in all likelihood, the perfect choice is waiting for you at Goodrich’s.
“Customer service is critical to my business,” he says. “We believe our prices and quality are at least equal to our competitors and, often, superior. We can order items quickly that we may not ordinarily keep in stock.”
The friendly and helpful staff will serve you with courtesy, respect and an eye to your individual needs as well as your budget.
One measure of the popularity of the store and widespread confidence in the Goodrich name is the turnout for their sales. People flock to Goodrich’s for the sharp discounts during the Midnight Madness sale over the Fourth of July weekend. As the clock ticks closer to midnight, the crowds grow exponentially while markdowns deepen on precious gemstone jewelry, diamond wedding rings, name brand watches, sterling silver, crystal glassware, pewter home furnishings, picture frames and other gifts like Cross pens and handbags crafted of fine leather or fabric.
If you missed the sales during Midnight Madness or Potato Feast Days, more are on the horizon. Watch for the pre-Christmas sale around Thanksgiving, followed by the winter/Valentine’s Day sales and Mother’s Day sale. Walter’s in-store engraving service can further personalize your very important and unique gift.
