Now he has two months to find another home.

Murphy’s Jewelers, which has spent the last 47 years in the same South Boston location, is being forced to relocate after the landlord served owner Billy Cosetta with an eviction notice, CBS Boston reports. According to the report, Cosetta expects the landlord to “get me out of here” so he can “renovate the whole building and probably get somebody in for higher rent.” He has about 60 days to find a new location.

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.”
