Why Bank Closings Could Be Good News for Your Store

AMERICAN BANKS have closed 9,000 branches in the last decade as digital banking and other trends have resulted in fewer people visiting their physical outlets. While that’s bad news in some communities where consumers now have to travel great distances to find a branch, it’s good news for jewelers, especially those looking for a new location. Few other abandoned commercial buildings are such a good fit for jewelers, given bank branches’ often central locations on Main Street, security-driven designs, features such as walk-in vaults and often cool, retro designs. Pondered a move lately? Keep an eye on your local bank.

Ready to Move? Let Wilkerson Lead the Way

When Brockhaus Jewelry planned their move to a new location in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman knew exactly who to call for their moving sale: Wilkerson. "Having worked with Wilkerson before, choosing them again made perfect sense," says Shipman. "And our second partnership was even better than the first." The sale exceeded expectations, thanks to Wilkerson's strategic approach - starting with Brockhaus's existing inventory before carefully supplementing with additional pieces. "They made everything simple," Shipman adds. "From the outstanding consultant to the detailed planning, the entire process was seamless." It's why both partners enthusiastically recommend Wilkerson to fellow jewelers planning a move, remodel, or retirement sale.
