LEWISTOWN — The same great service and quality are still offered at the new KC’s Gifts, Jewelry and Awards store, located at the site of the former Wilson’s Gifts and Jewelry on Monument Square in Lewistown.

Heather Knepp-Crader, who worked at Wilson’s for 19 years, decided to purchase the business in September from former owners Paul and Vicki Wilson, who retired with more than 45 years in the business.

“This is where I started, the only place I’ve been and I decided I would just stay on,” Knepp-Crader said. “I’ve learned all the different areas of the business.”

Knepp-Crader is offering many of the same products and services that customers have become accustomed to. Her jewelry lines offer bridal wear, chain necklaces, lockets, class rings, family jewelry, watches and an allergy-free line which she plans to expand. Gift options include baby gifts, wedding gifts, money clips, Christmas ornaments and retirement gifts, with most having engraving options. Orders may also be placed for bridal gifts such as pen pillows, toasting glasses, cake servers and photo albums.

The store continues to offer engraving services on gifts and trophies.

“I have quick turnaround on engraving and trophy orders,” Knepp-Crader said.

She also offers repair services with most repairs done in-house or, if needed, sent to another jeweler. Knepp-Crader can also change watch batteries or adjust watch bands and offers ear piercing as well. Special orders can also be placed, with many arriving within the week.

Providing customers with a good selection of quality gifts in a timely manner is Knepp-Crader’s desire for her new business venture.

“I want to try to help customers find one-of-a-kind pieces for their special occasion,” she said.

Offering friendly, down-to-earth service, Knepp-Crader invites customers to visit the 13 E. Market St., Lewistown location.

Hours of operation are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and Tuesday; 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday; 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday; and 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. every other Saturday. There will be extended holiday hours.
