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.”

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.”
