Joan Charlene Little and the team at Genesis Jewelry received help from an unexpected source for a recent store move, and the result was a viral Facebook post. Says Little: “We moved into our new store on Labor Day weekend. We moved our inventory with the help of our local police department. Two officers and one K-9 officer. Very smooth, easy move. We posted photos on our Facebook page. It was a hit. For us, ‘viral.’”

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.”
