(PRESS RELEASE) FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS — After 109 years of loyal service, the Newton family has announced their retirement and will soon close the doors of Newton’s Jewelers for good. But, not before celebrating their community and beloved customers with a grand liquidation event.

A Respected History and Staple in the Community

Founded by George H. Newton in 1914, Newton’s Jewelers quickly established a reputation as a place where folks could go for fine jewelry and unparalleled service. Throughout the years, the store’s standing within the community of Fort Smith blossomed. People loved the attentive and friendly service they received at Newton’s Jewelers, where they truly felt like family. As Newton’s evolved over the years, the reach of the business expanded until Newton’s Jewelers had customers in over 40 states. The trust and connection the entire Newton family created with their customers led to close friendships over the decades. To this day, the Newton family considers their customers to be the life and breath of their business.

Serving Multiple Generations of Customers

With the passage of seasons and generations, people who were once customers’ children became customers themselves, making Newton’s Jewelers the trustworthy and generational family jeweler of Fort Smith. The Newtons have felt incredibly honored to serve their community and feel blessed to be supported in return.

When reflecting on the store’s history, his family and the community, Kelly Newton said, “The number one thing is that we’ve always worked our hardest to make sure our customers and community know how much we truly appreciate them. We’ve been so wonderfully blessed – by our customers, by our community – it’s difficult to even express how much they really mean to us. We’ve served multiple generations of families and gotten to know them well. Many of them have become our friends and we deeply cherish that.”

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.
