(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.
Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success
After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone.
Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently.
The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
