Zales Jewelers is in the final stages of finding a new home, The Dallas Morning News reports, and will leave the building that the company once called its headquarters prior to being acquired by Signet Jewelers in 2014. The report says that Zales will leave its longtime digs in Irving, TX when the lease expires in March 2018 for a to-be-determined location in Dallas. Signet is close to signing a new lease for a space that “will be retrofitted for support operations, including a new product assembly department.”

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.”
