“After 35 years of hearing various excuses and stories when customers return or pawn, a month or so ago, a customer came in to pawn her newly purchased anniversary gift. She was all apologetic because she needed the money for meds. Her total hysterectomy failed, and she just found out she was pregnant. I was speechless.” — Trisha Corleto, Lowell Jewelry and Loan, Lowell, MA

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
