“Memphis has been a cherished home to Sissy’s since 2014, and we decided it was time to redefine our presence and elevate the overall experience for our customers,” Bill Jones, CEO of Sissy’s Log Cabin, said of the project that began in April of last year. He emphasized the strategic direction behind the new store opening saying, “By offering luxurious boutique-style shopping and incorporating subtle nods to our log cabin roots, this state-of-the-art store sets the standard for jewelry shopping in Memphis and all our future locations.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
