(PRESS RELEASE) The Royal Chain Heroes is a non-profit corporate social responsibility initiative, developed by Royal Chain and the brand Phillip Gavriel, directed primarily at local communities around the nation. Royal Chain is partnering with its vast network of retailers to collect stories about ordinary people who have done something extraordinary to help their community. The stories of great things being accomplished give us hope and inspire us to make a change.

Any certified retail store is eligible to nominate heroes from their local community. Every month four winners will be selected and awarded with a special piece of jewelry by Phillip Gavriel/Royal Chain. The stories will be shared on a dedicated website royalchainhe-roes.org, as well as on social media.

“Over the last few months, we have heard the inspiring stories of people who have made a difference across the country, but there are so many more who will never get that national recognition they deserve. With this initiative we can fortify the bond between jewelry stores and their local communities that will continue to share life’s most precious mile-stones together,” said Phillip Gabriel Maroof, vice president of Royal Chain.

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.
