Claire’s (Hoffman Estates, Ill.) has opened its first store in Mexico, with local partner Exalta. The 1227-square-foot space is in Mexico City’s Plaza Satélite shopping complex and offers jewelry, fashion and hair accessories, toys, tech, cosmetics and more. It also features PIERCED by Claire’s, a private area at the back of the store offering that service.

“Claire’s is a beloved brand with a highly engaged audience, and as we continue to transform into a fashion powerhouse, we are dedicated to constantly expanding upon the places and ways we connect with them,” said Richard Flint, Claire’s President of Europe. “Opening a flagship store in Mexico presents an exciting opportunity to continue building on the brand’s reach through immersive experiences and is just the start of the opportunity we see in this market.”

However, Claire’s did not detail its expansion plans in Mexico. The company, which also operates the Icing retail brand, currently operates 2750 retail stores globally in 17 countries throughout North America and Europe, franchised stores in the Middle East and South Africa and a presence in more than 40 partner retailers worldwide. It also has a presence in the metaverse.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
