Outgrowing this location, Von Bargens relocated to Springfi eld, VT in 1978 and in 1986 and 1987 respectively, expanded to include locations in Stratton and Burlington, VT.
Johns daughter Julie and her husband Jason joined the family business in 2003, opening a fourth Von Bargens location in Hanover, NH and a fifth virtual location at www.VonBargens.com.

Unsolicitated Recent Testimonial
To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to express my gratitude for the level of service I received during a recent purchase. This was the second time my fiance and I have chosen to do business with your stores. The first was for my engagement ring. This most recent experience was for my wedding band.
Both times, our primary point of contact was Roxanne Prescott. We have chosen to do business with her because we are always treated as highly valued customers and guests. Despite living in Connecticut, we made a point of traveling well out of our way to work with her.
Unfortunately, there was an error with my wedding band. Instead of a 4 1/4, my ring was a 6 1/4. This error was discovered just 2 weeks before my wedding. What could have been utterly disastrous actually turned out to be your staff's finest hour. Staff members in multiple stores worked together to ensure that I would have the right ring in time. At no time did anyone play "pass the blame". Employees took ownership for the problem and worked hard to correct it. The staff was efficient and always well organized: I could call a store, speak to someone I had never dealt with before, and still get my questions answered. I remember having contact with Carol, Paul and Julie when I was unable to speak with Roxanne, and I'm sure that there were others involved that I do not specifically remember by name.
I believe the true test of customer service is not in how employees treat customers under favorable conditions, but rather how they treat customers and respond to situations when there has been a problem. The entire staff certainly lived up to what I assume are very high expectations from VonBargen's management and ownership.
I cannot express my gratitude enough for your staff going above and beyond to make things right. I am certain that there are many businesses that would not have put forth one quarter the effort that you did. For that reason, despite living out of state, your staff has made a lifelong customer out of me.
Many Thanks,
Jessica (Soule) Rich
