BRANDON MCMURRAY, WHO works with his family at Hunt House in Huntsville, Ontario, does all of the CAD work for the store. “All the older ladies love him,” says Cathy McMurray, his mom. “They come and sit in his office and also bring in either cookies for his dog or sweets for him. We get nothing. Yes, we are jealous!” Brandon concedes that “ladies do bring me trays of cookies, but I do share!”

Wilkerson Testimonials

Retirement Made Easy with Wilkerson

The store was a landmark in Topeka, Kansas, but after 80 years in business, it was time for Briman’s Leading Jewelers to close up shop. Third generation jeweler and owner Rob Briman says the decision wasn’t easy, but the sale that followed was — all thanks to Wilkerson. Briman had decided a year prior to the summer 2020 sale that he wanted to retire. With a pandemic in full force, he had plenty of questions and concerns. “We had no real way to know if we were going to be successful or have a failure on our hands,” says Briman. “We didn’t know what to expect.” But with Wilkerson in charge, the experience was “fantastic” and now there’s plenty of time for relaxing and enjoying a more secure retirement. “I would recommend Wilkerson to any retailer considering a going-out-of-business sale,” says Briman. “They’ll help you reach your financial goal. Our experience was a tremendous success.”
