Brighton Co-Owner Terri Kohl Visits Oahu
Breakfast at Longhi’s
It was exciting to have Terri Kohl (left), wife and partner of Brighton founder and CEO of Brighton Collectibles, Jerry Kohl visit Oahu to see the new Brighton Collectibles store at Ala Moana Shopping Center. En route from the airport to the store Terri dropped in for breakfast with me, Eddie and Patty Sherman. Eddie, the perpetual interviewer, ia always looking for a “story”, and he had a million questions for Terri. He was fascinated by the Brighton story and along the way it came out that Patty had sold Brighton products many years ago when working for Donny Borsack at El Portal when they were at Ala Moana.
Eddie Gets New Brighton Belt
Eddie Sherman has had an illustrious career as a columnist, and loves asking people questions. When he learned that Brighton makes and sells men’s belts, his eyes popped and he showed Terri his well worn belt. That led to a trip straight to the Brighton store where Eddie was like a “kid in a candy store” where visiting Newport Beach, CA store manager, Linda helped him pick out a new belt. I think it’s safe to say that he was thrilled with it.
In Good Company
I was pleased to pose between Terri and Ala Moana store manager DeAnne Imamura.
Patty Too
While Eddie was picking out his belt, Terri helped Patty find a few things for herself. Belief in your product is the strongest attribute that you can have in selling, and no one has that more than Terri Kohl. My wife’s closet is a testiment to that fact.
More Food
Next we were treated to a wonderful lunch at Nieman Marcus by Terri. After lunch I ushered Terri to the airport where she flew off to Maui. A “Brighton Day” is always a bright day.

Hi Ron - I love your Blog.
It’s cold here already, and it feels good seeing all of those summer clothes you are all wearing. I hope to see you in January, it’s been way too long.

I have become a big Brighton fan, and my mother loves Eddie Sherman. This was so cool to read and see.

I didn’t even know that Brighton has that store. I have been buying at Bag-n-Baggage, but I know from my mainland travels that the selection is very limited, and service is not very good. I will go Brighton shopping at Ala Moana TODAY!
