Fancy Flashlight

Okay, so maybe you don’t technically need your flashlight to be made of Damascus steel hand-forged by talented jewelry designer Chris Ploof … but wouldn’t it be awesome if it was? It’s an infinitely more impressive portable light source than the standard plastic model you’ll find at your local hardware store. And you’ll look so cool when you whip this baby out to help a customer find an earring they’ve dropped on the floor.

$1,000 – $1,500

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion.
