Description: In addition to his existing Dalhousie street jewellery store in Ottawa, J. Emile Lauzon built the Lauzon building (1948), where the old Central Hotel used to be located at the corner of Principal and Laval. In 1950, Jack Snow, owner of several jewellery stores in Ontario, bought the business and renamed it "Jack Snow Jewellers ". In 1955, Mr. Snow hired a local sports personality, Edouard "Pit" Richer, to manage his jewellery store. Shortly after, the name was changed and remains to this day "Bijouterie Richer & Snow Jewellers ". In 1973, Ms. Louise Cormier begins her career at the jewellery store. In 1985, with the help of her sister Claudette, Ms. Cormier decides to buy the business and take on the role of president. As the years went by, Richer & Snow added original gift ideas to its inventory, such as the Natchmann and Spiegelau glassware, Trudeau Canada and many more. Richer & Snow also feels the need to encourage Québec’s amazing artists such as Anne-Marie Chagnon, Filippe Filipozzi, etc. 1985 sounded the arrival of prestigious name brands like Columbia, Bulova and Dupont, and many others to the delight of Richer & Snow customers. from: https://www.richersnow.com/en/history
