London Jewelers Gives Back to Healthcare Workers on the Frontlines of COVID-19 Crisis

(PRESS RELEASE) – London Jewelers announces its #LondonJewelersCares initiative, delivering meals to the courageous staff at North Shore University Hospital, Glen Cove Hospital, LIJ Medical Center, Mount Sinai Hospital, and NYU Medical Center.

As the New York region continues its fight against COVID-19, the brave men and women in our area hospitals are leading the charge. Throughout April and May, London Jewelers will donate a portion of proceeds to supply meals from local restaurants to these heroes fighting to keep us all safe.

“We are so grateful to our first responders and hospital staff risking their lives to take care of others,” said Scott Udell, co-vice president and a fourth-generation member of the London Jewelers family. “We thank them for their bravery and hope to bring them whatever comfort we can with a smile and a hot meal.”

The Udell family, who have owned and operated London Jewelers since 1926, made their first deliveries on Monday, bringing trays of hot food to COVID-19 units at several local hospitals. More deliveries are scheduled each week.

“As a small family-owned business, our goal is to treat everyone in our community like family,” explained Randi Udell Alper, London Jewelers’ co-vice president. “We want our healthcare workers to know they’re in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. We are here to show our appreciation and gratitude, and to give back to the communities that have supported London Jewelers for 94 years.”

As an additional show of thanks, London Jewelers is also offering healthcare workers 20% off purchases (with some brand exclusions) on londonjewelers.com

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
