Cassie Fox says being a working professional
in Saratoga Springs is something that
not only is she proud of but it’s also what
keeps her motivated. She and her husband
Harvey share the business that she has been
a part of since 1981, N. Fox Jewelers, 404
Broadway, Saratoga Springs.
She said it’s the perfect “marriage” of business
and family.
“I became involved in May 1981 when I
married him. It was a family business that
he had purchased three years previously, in
1978. I chose to become involved because
I knew that with our different strengths,
together, we could continue to build and
grow a successful business in the city we
loved,”said Fox.
She said becoming part of the business
allowed her to stay connected to family while
working. Rather than having two separate
careers she and her husband chose to work
towards one common goal.
Today, Fox said the business continues
to thrive and change to meet the needs of
their clients. She noted it never gets old and
they are always learning and adapting, while
maintaining the things that have made the
business so successful.
“What inspires me is the process of being
able to take an idea, to research and investigate
the pros and cons, possible upsides and
downsides and then put the plan in motion,”
said Fox. “It is exciting and satisfying when
our ideas are successful, it is educational
when they are not, fortunately not too many
of these.”
She said working in the Spa City keeps
her going as a successful professional. The ability to interact with the broad spectrum
of interesting and accomplished people who
choose to visit, live in and do business in
Saratoga makes a difference.
“These interactions, in business and
on various local boards have continued to
stimulate me intellectually and professionally,”
said Fox.
N. Fox Jewelers is open Monday through Saturday,
10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It is closed Sundays.
