LAFAYETTE, LA – Stuller is temporally closing its global headquarters in Lafayette, LA, due to the recent developments regarding coronavirus within the state.

Starting Monday, March 23, at 5 p.m. CDT, the manufacturer is suspending all on-site operations in accordance with the Louisiana governor’s mandatory policy through Sunday, April 12. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards announced the stay-at-home order after the state topped 1,100 cases.

“It is difficult for us to be unable to fully serve our customers during this time,” said Danny Clark, president of the company. “Our long-term relationship with each customer is our most precious asset. We will stand tall at this moment and do the right thing for our country, our state, our industry, and our employees and with anticipation look forward to the day when we can serve the industry once again.”

At this time, Stuller “is committed to servicing all of their customers’ urgent needs through the phone and live chat,” according to a press release from the manufacturer. A limited staff of customer care associates is available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central for general questions.

We thank you for your understanding during this difficult time for all.”

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
