As I reflect on our business over the past 150 years, I am reminded of so many special moments we’ve had the privilege of sharing with our customers. When you invite us to be a part of those moments, you’re giving us the gift of a lifetime. Thank you for that. This is a humbling time in the life of our company. And for me, after a start in Borsheims’ gift gallery, the humility and gratitude are real. Louis Borsheim founded our company in 1870. We grew to become a downtown Omaha destination by 1947, when the business passed to Louis Friedman and his son, Ike, whose philosophy of buying in volume, paying in cash, and passing the savings to our customers still guides us today. In 1989, we became part of Warren Buffett’s famous holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, which sparked exponential growth and global notoriety. I invite you to take a walk through our history at borsheims.com/150, where you’ll find a trove of photographs, old advertisements and past logos. There are so many gems here! Now, in 2020, I am proud to carry on our commitment to sustainability and tradition of craftsmanship, to live up to our reputation of legendary service, and to give back to the community that has given us so much. Our customers know we’ve never been satisfied with the status quo. As we venture into the future, we’ll continue to do things with integrity and transparency, remaining true to our values and to the community that helps us thrive. So you can feel proud about inviting us to take part in your special moments.
2020
The right way, for 150 years. That’s how we know we’re ready for what’s next.
Karen Goracke, CEO & President

BIG FOR US
Ike's philosophy 1947 was a pivotal moment in Borsheims history. Founders John and Alfred Borsheim sold the business to Louis Friedman and his son, Ike. The Friedmans kept the Borsheims name but brought in a big shift in philosophy for our store. Ike believed in buying in volume and paying in cash. That practice allowed him to pass big savings on to Borsheims customers. Those savings became one of Borsheims' biggest selling points – our Borsheims price!

— 1986 BIG FOR US
When Warren walked in Thanks to the Friedman family’s philosophy, Borsheims soon got too big for our 8,000 square foot downtown location. In 1986, Borsheims moved to the new Regency Court shopping center, tripling the size of the store. Just a few years later, the world’s biggest investor and longtime Borsheims customer Warren Buffett purchased Borsheims with a handshake from Ike Friedman. Borsheims officially became part of the Berkshire Hathaway family in 1989, giving our store global exposure and exponential growth. 21

— 2018 BIG FOR US
Diamonds meet water For decades, Borsheims has been a global leader in the mission to ensure all diamonds in the marketplace are ethically and responsibly sourced. In 2000, our CEO helped establish the diamond industry's Kimberley Process. And in 2018, we introduced our Kalahari Dream Diamond collection to support the communities in southern Africa where most diamonds are mined. Our sales team met a big goal two years in the making. We’d sold enough Kalahari Dream Diamonds to construct a water system for nearly 4,000 people in the villages of Malwelwe and Ngware, Botswana. The direct, consistent and sustainable water delivery system is a huge KALAHARI DREAM
