When the owner of Bove Jewelers in Kennett Square, PA, chose to close the business, the store’s general manager, Bob Strehlau, still felt it had lots of potential.

He bought it from George Reinas and reopened nearly a year ago, the Chester County Press reports. And things have gone so well that he’s now expanding to a second location.

Bove Jewelers will open a store in West Chester this weekend.

“We have all of the same merchandise in all categories at both stores, but at the West Chester store, it is shown in smaller, boutique-like sizes,” said Strehlau, who is a fifth-generation jeweler.

The new store is in the former location of Wright’s Jewelers.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
