A lady brings in this mess of chains but doesn’t have much time to wait. “Don’t we just put it in a machine or something that will untangle the chains?” Umm, no. Philip Mastbergen, Mastbergen Jewelry, Sheldon, IA

We had a lady walk in the store. I’m going to say that again, she opened the door after reading the “OPEN” sign and reading the hours, and she walked in the store. She asked: “Are you open?” And wait, it gets better: “Because your hours say you’re open Tuesday through Saturday?” Us: “Yes, ma’am, it’s Wednesday.” (and you’re standing in the middle of the store!). Casey Gallant, Stephen Gallant Jewelers, Orleans, MA

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
