Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life.

White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience.

They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
