Cardinal Jewelers has served Pleasanton for over thirty years. The owner, Jim Kuhn, has been involved in the jewelry profession for anoth-er nine years before that. He learned to cut and polish stones at an Air Base hobby shop in Pleiku, Vietnam in his off-hours. He later studied for and received his gemologist certificate.

In 1977, Jim opened Cardinal Jewelers with the desire to be a small town jeweler. Over the years, Pleasanton has grown up, but Jim and his assistant Cheri Funk have kept the small town friendliness and service.

Cardinal Jewelers is not an ordinary jewelry store. They specialize in the unique and unusual gemstones that you can't find at your typical jewelry store. Come in and see for yourself at our new location.

63 West Angela, Pleasanton

It all started with a puppet theater and a passion for kids, theatrics and perfor-mance. Dee and Rob Nitzsche, Pleasanton residents, opened Your Stage Toys on June 6th at 63 W. Angela in downtown Pleasanton after successfully operating the store online for two years. At Your Stage Toys, you’ll find toys that promote the art of performance, imagination and creativity. Our store also features a beautiful stage, red plush curtains and all, on which we host birthday parties, magic shows, puppet shows, dance, music or theatrical performances. Check us out at 11:00 a.m. each Saturday during the Farmers Market for a free show that the whole family will enjoy!

Your Stage Toys is passionate about the way kids play as well as the way they learn. We believe that each child is unique – playing and learning in ways that tran-scend the classroom. Your Stage Toys was developed not simply to sell toys, but to promote learning through performance, creativity and imagination. As the Your Stage team likes to say…“We are setting the stage for a world of possibilities..!”

At Your Stage Toys, we wrap your gifts for free! You can also visit us online at www.yourstagetoys.com where you can place your order and then pick it up the next day in our store, wrapped and ready to go! Stop by and visit us, you'll be happy you did!
