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.’”

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.”
