(PRESS RELEASE) LITTLE ROCK, AR – Sissy’s Log Cabin broke ground for the organization’s new Faulkner County location. The new store will be located at 820 Elsinger Blvd. in Conway.

Sissy’s is partnering with Baldwin & Shell Construction, to build the new store, which was designed by Reed Architectural Firm Architects. The new facility is scheduled to be completed September of 2019.

“With Sissy’s rapid growth over the last few years, we felt the timing was right to bring our family-owned business to Conway,” said Bill Jones, CEO of Sissy’s Log Cabin. “We’re excited to continue the expansion of our renowned service, selection and experience across Arkansas.”

The new building will be the second stand-alone storefront for the brand and continue the tradition of a log-cabin-style exterior. The new facility will include state-of-the-art jewelry displays and additional offices for Sissy’s growing staff. Sissy’s currently has three other locations throughout Arkansas, with one location in Memphis, TN.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
