Back in the 1930s when
economic times were tough, most kids were still scheming to cut class or
line up a date for Friday night. Fred Maloof, in his mid-teens, was
worried about hiring a reliable staff, doing the books and ordering enough
ice cream. Maloof was probably the only kid at St. Charles Borromeo High
School in Detroit who ran his own store at the age of 15! His father
actually turned the family dairy bar over to him at this young age, giving
flight to his illustrious retail career.
Today, Maloof no
longer owns the dairy bar, as jewelry has become his specialty. He is the
owner of Maloof Jewelry and Gifts, an established St. Clair Shores retail
institution.
Maloof's customers
have always been loyal. "We have second, third and fourth generation
customers. People come in and tell me their grandparents bought their
wedding rings from me and now they want to do the same", exclaims Maloof.
The store represents one of
Michigan's
largest and most respected selections of jewelry. People come from all
over Michigan (and beyond) to take advantage of the superior selection.
Maloof Jewelers has twice moved to larger quarters before settling 22
years ago in its current location at 28525 Harper in St. Clair Shores.
