Mejuri is set to add 17 stores this year, nearly tripling its number of locations.

The majority of the new stores will be in the U.S. and Canada, WWD reports. Among the locations will be Chicago, Seattle and Toronto.

One of the new stores opened in late April in Venice, CA, according to WWD.

Retail is “a way for you to manifest your brand and grow your business,” said Noura Sakkijha, CEO and co-founder of the direct-to-consumer jewelry brand.

The retail expansion “has an impact on our growth in the cities that we open,” Sakkijha said, according to WWD.

“If it weren’t for the pandemic we would have a lot more stores by now.”

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.
