True Tales: July 2013

We once had a gentleman in our store who
was visiting from Texas. He was saying to us (and
other customers in the store) how things were so
much grander in Texas. He claimed that back home
if he drove his car at 9.00 in the morning, it took
him almost to 1.00 in the afternoon before he got to
the end of his expansive property. Another gentlemen
who was here at the time looked at him and
said. “Well my property is about 100 yards in either
direction and you know what? I had a car like that
once!” – Alex Weil, Martin’s Jewelry, Manhattan

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
