(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.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
