Van Cott Jewelers announces official closing date
VESTAL, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – After 111 years in the business, Van Cott Jewelers has announced its official closing date.
Van Cott's doors will close on June 21. A champagne toast event will be held on June 17 to thank customers and say farewell.
Owners Birdie and Bill Levine announced the news in April, saying, 'This is truly a decision we don't want to do; we certainly don't need to do; it is not something we look forward to. This is something we have to do.' They are making the difficult decision to close due to health issues in their family.
Van Cott started in Binghamton in 1914. Bill's father Herbert Levine bought the business in 1969, having grown up in the jewelry business of his father, Ruby Jewelers which started in Endicott in 1919.

Van Cott is hosting a Going Out of Business Sale from now until June 21.
Birdie and Bill thank the community for its loyalty and trust. They say the memories they've shared will stay with them forever.
