Bob Taczala: The exterior subtly nods to Frank Lloyd Wright and the Biltmore Hotel. The architect did a great job of continuing the vocabulary of previous design around the corner.

Adam Graham: The interior of the store is warm and inviting – great chandelier!

Sarah Read: I FEEL cool just looking at this store. From the chandelier to the "Frank Lloyd Wright feel, they have put together a store that I would want to shop in and be proud to tell my friends about: "Yeah, I shop there."

Todd Reed: The openness of this store and simple curves balanced with the array of complex textures is cool.

Katy Briggs: Their multi-media "Countdown" grand opening campaign was well thought out and beautifully executed – exactly what was needed to build anticipation for the arrival.

Michael M. Clarke: The socially responsible and generous profile of the owners adds to the mystique and allure of Hyde Park and invites participation.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
