Our New Chapter
COMING SPRING 2027
A New Chapter in the Old Port
After more than 155 years of celebrating life’s most meaningful moments, Springer’s Jewelers is proud to announce an exciting new chapter: the relocation of our Portland store to a new home in the heart of the Old Port.
This milestone is especially meaningful as it is spearheaded by fourth-generation owner Lilly Mullen—the first female family owner in our company’s history since 1870. Under her leadership, this move reflects both a forward-looking vision and a deep respect for the legacy that has defined Springer’s for generations.
While our address is changing, our commitment remains the same. By staying on Portland’s peninsula and within its vibrant urban retail community, we continue to honor the spirit of the city and the clients who have made us part of their stories for decades. Our new Old Port location allows us to remain rooted in the coastal New England charm that has always defined Springer’s, while creating an elevated experience for today’s customer.
As we look ahead to this exciting next chapter, we warmly invite you to visit us at our current Portland location at 580 Congress Street to celebrate more than 155 years of shared milestones and memories. Join us in honoring this historic space before we say farewell in 2027.
From Then to Now: The Story of Springer’s Jewelers
Trusted Jewelers Since 1870
Springer’s Jewelers was established in 1870 by George T. Springer in nearby Saccarappa (now Westbrook, Maine) offering a wide range of optical goods, stationery, and artists materials, "fancy goods," and of course, fine jewelry.
Sharpening Our Focus
In 1925, Edmund Beaulieu bought the store from the Springer family and when his son, Ed Beaulieu Jr., joined the business in 1947, they moved it to its present location on Congress Street in downtown Portland and narrowed the focus to jewelry.
Four Generations Strong
Springer’s Jewelers has remained a family-owned business for four generations. Richard Beaulieu joined the family business in 1973, and took over the business from his father in 1988. Springer’s has since welcomed Lilly Beaulieu Mullen, Zoe Beaulieu, and Eddie Beaulieu, the fourth generation, to the company legacy.
2026: A New Chapter for Springer’s
This next milestone is especially meaningful as it is spearheaded by Lilly Mullen, the first female family owner in Springer’s history since 1870. Under her leadership, the new Portland flagship reflects both a forward-looking vision and a deep respect for the relationships, values, and traditions that have defined Springer’s for generations.
More than a new store, this investment represents the next chapter of Springer’s—focused on care, experience, and a long-term commitment to the future of Maine.

The Legacy of Springer's Locations
Portland History
By the turn of the century, the company had moved from nearby Saccarappa to 515 Congress, where Edmond Beaulieu Sr. acquired the store. In 1947 Ed Beaulieu Jr. joined his father in the business and Springer's moved to its current site at 580 Congress near the intersection with Forest Avenue.
Bath History
Springer's Bath located in the historic downtown dates to 1879 and originally was called A.G. Page Co. Purchased in 1932 by Massachusetts entrepreneur Frank Freeman, Springer's acquired it in 1979. This treasure of the mid-coast appears today as it did in 1870's with its original storefront, mahogany cabinets installed by the Page family, a 14-foot high ceiling, a checkerboard marble floor, and classic hanging brass lamps over the floor cases.
Portsmouth History
Springer's purchased the Portsmouth location in 1971 from the widow of Herman Page, who'd been one of the first certified gemologists in New England. Springer's-Portsmouth was located at the Vaughan Street Mall for nearly 30 years before relocating in 2000 to 100 Market Street, an upscale, five-story building on the corner of Market and Hanover Street in the heart of downtown Portsmouth.
