Greenwich Avenue Fixture Manfredi to Open Jewelry Store on Elm Street

By |

Manfredi, a jeweler that for 27 years has been a fixture of Greenwich Avenue, is planning to open up within two weeks on Elm Street in New Canaan. For 14 years the home of Henry C. Reid & Son, 72 Elm St. will undergo a major renovation in order to create a Rolex boutique inside, with changes in furniture, carpeting and other areas, said Manfredi owner Roberto Chiappelloni. Asked why New Canaan was a good location for his store, Chiappelloni said he’s always liked the town, had a daughter in the venerable Mounted Troop here for 10 years and at one point had planned to move here. “I always loved the feel and quaintness of the town and the way it’s laid out, so I thought it would be a great fit to open a second location,” Chiappelloni told NewCanaanite.com.
