The Burberry flagship on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue was hit by burglars yesterday for the second time this week, reports ABC 7 Chicago.

Early Thursday morning, six men, two armed with guns, reportedly pried open the doors, entered the store and fled with as much merchandise as they were able to carry, said police. On Tuesday morning, police report that five burglars broke in and stole merchandise. In Tuesday’s incident, a nearby Moose Knuckles location on East Walton Street was also robbed in a similar fashion.

It’s unclear if the incidents are related.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
