We had such a great weekend with our Berkshire Hathaway shareholders!
We love looking back on the weekend through all the fun photos of the events that happened at Borsheims.
All of our photos are uploaded onto our Flickr site. Check them out, and if you want to use any, feel free to download (at whatever resolution you choose) and use as you wish.
Thanks for joining us!
We know that all Berkshire Hathaway shareholders love to hear what Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have to say.
We also know that some of those shareholders love to listen to the Oracle for just a little bit and then they love to check out Berkyville and shop!
We are more than happy to help with that at our new-and-improved Borsehims Booth at the CenturyLink Center.
We love how it looks:
What we love even more are the jewelry deals we have waiting for you this morning.
My personal favorites are these Swarovski crystal earrings that we are selling for just $60. They look much more expensive (and they usually are! Berkshire shareholders get such a deal!).
We have jewelry items for as low aw $20, all the way up to a $9,900 pair of diamond earrings. Come visit us in the exhibition hall this morning and we will be happy to help you find a piece of Borsheims to take home with you!
Berkshire Hathaway shareholders attending this year’s annual shareholders weekend will notice a fresh new look at an old Omaha steakhouse.
Warren Buffett’s standby steakhouse, Gorat’s, is under new ownership and has been “de-decorated” in the words of new owner Gene Dunn.
Dunn says he restored the restaurant to how it was originally designed. That involved removing paneling and dropped ceilings, uncovering an old fireplace and windows and discovering some beautiful art deco ceilings.
It really is a fresh new look for the restaurant that used to be a house.
And the menu has been freshened up as well!
For starters, the restaurant now serves world-famous Omaha Steaks.
Take a peek at the new menu here.
New owner Gene Dunn is a long-time restaurant owner in Omaha. He also is the husband of Borsheims President & CEO Susan Jacques.
To make reservations at Gorat’s during Berkshire Hathaway weekend, call (402)551-3733 on Monday, April 1st. Mr. Buffett says he plans to eat there and at Piccolo’s on Sunday, May 5th.
In the meantime, take a sneak peek of the changes at Gorat’s in this slideshow:
I’m sure by this point, out-of-towners have already booked their flights and hotels. Everyone should now focus their attention to making restaurant reservations for the weekend. With more than 35,000 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders here for the weekend, the restaurant scene can be a little packed.
We are a great resource for that! Check out our restaurants section on our website… under Around Omaha or by clicking here.
We categorized the restaurants by cuisine and location in town.
Of course, you should plan on eating at Borsheims during our Friday shareholder cocktail party and Sunday’s shareholder-only brunch. They are free to all shareholders.
Nebraska Furniture Mart offers a barbeque for shareholders on Saturday for a $5 fee.
One of Warren Buffett’s favorite steakhouses, Gorat’s, has a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder-only day on Sunday. The opened for reservations on April 1, so they may already be booked. You can try them at 402-551-3733.
One of Warren’s other favorite steakhouses, Piccolo’s, is taking reservations as well. Their number is 402-342-9038.
Happy eating!
We know you’re excited for Berkshire Hathaway shareholders weekend, the shareholders meeting and the parties. We hope you have the same level of excitement to check out all our awesome jewelry (and our great deals!) at Borsehims.
A wonderful local blogger, Princess Lasertron, came in a few weeks ago to look specifically at our vintage and estate jewelry collection. Our President & CEO, Susan Jacques, is a big fan of estate jewelry herself, which means we end up with some very cool pieces in the store.

So how many bags of trash do you think Berkshire Hathaway shareholders produce during the annual shareholders’ weekend? And how does Borsheims keep its restrooms presentable with that many people using them?
Only Borsheims’ Facilities Manager Scott McCoig knows. And if you watch the video, you’ll know, too.
