Ought to just sell it all to Carter Jewelry

STOREWIDE 70% OFF after only six years. Owning and operating a small business seems so easy on paper. Wasn’t this on county line road? Just speculating but was the name purchased and moved up north to the high rent section of ridgeland ? I hate to see any business go under especially one that has been around for quite some time.

"Ought to just sell it all to Carter Jewelry"

Good idea.

If there's a snow storm on High Street between the hours of 2:00 and 3:00 am (on Christmas Eve),
I'm sure Jerry Lake will reduce his cubic zirconia rings another 99 % "off ".

Wow he should get in the semiconductor business. Nvidia GPUs are worth more than gold right now.

Too pricey for the Ridgeland crowd. They should have opened in Madison.

Just kidding.

No, 5:23. Same family moved it to Ridgeland but more than six years ago. I can do a perfect impression of Sczjock in his radio commercials.

Jewelry stores, like this one, and a handful of others, are the most off-putting, snooty, arrogance-projecting, suspicious, condescending businesses on the planet. Look for at least one more to close in the next six months, within several miles. And the thousands of snoots they thought would be an instant customer base are struggling to make monthly house notes and hang on to the boat, the trampoline and the domestic help from the Philippines.

Oh...and 70% off sales should tell you something about the mark-up. Jerry Lane will buy it all and sell it to us at the unbelievably low discount of 80% off plus another 20% between now and Christmas plus you get to throw a dart at the balloon board. But WAIT! It'll all be available also at Pemberton Mall in Vicksburg if there's a downpour.

Never been there but he advertised on radio a lot. Keep telling people about the changing demographics in the metro area and people of wealth are leaving the metro and Mississippi. Wake up People.

I thought Carter jewelers used this promo technique all the time?... "ANNUAL STOREWIDE 70% OFF SALE"... and "(ANNUAL) GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE".

11:20. it’s not “people of wealth”. the wealthy people are older and already own their gold. it’s all the people 20-30 who decide to move elsewhere. the brain drain. younger people like urban areas that are safe- they would rather live in a smaller historic home than a suburban development. so..off to nashville, birmingham, dallas, atlanta they go...

You might be a little more believable if you knew the correct name of the owner of Carter Jewelers.

The people at Sollberger's are all great folks and have always been very helpful. My wife and I have bought about ten Tissot watches from them over the last 30 years, for ourselves and for gifts to others, not to mention the jewelry I have purchased there for my wife and for our mothers. We drive from Brandon to shop there for the unique jewelry and service. We hate to see them close.

Where's the annual "we lost our lease" sale?

@11:14 PM Lots of truth there.

Great people. Sad to see it go.

I have often wondered how all of the jewelry stores stay open. I mean how many people go out and buy Rolex watches or diamond jewelry on any given day? Are they a front for something else??

Darn. Now we'll have to go 2 miles on up the parkway to Junkier Jwlrs.

Carter's izzz ALWAYS having a flood...or a fire.. A tornado..the roof blowing off

10:24 a lot more than you would think. Also, once Mr. Jim Russell closed his store, Lee Michaels is now the only Rolex dealer in central MS. They are very picky in who sells their watches. They don't let just anyone sell their watches.

Maybe Solbergers will pull a Books-A-Million.

The rumor is that they are converting their business to medical marijuana, using the new name "This Bud's for You."

Munchies will be available.

This is what happens when you start playing politics with a virus. It has consequences, like elections. I fear the worst is yet to come.

11:14 here. Sorry to have typed Lane instead of Lake. But, you know the content of my post was dead-ass-center right-on.

I'm of the opinion that fancy jewelry and over-priced time pieces have gone the way of China patterns, crystal pitchers, jade studded letter openers and strands of pearls draped over enhanced breasts. But, I do feel really sorry for the arrogant shopper from Brandon who may have to drive over to the Texaco in Pelahatchie and play that crane-in-a-box game to win a watch.

Jacques does good work. I have always been given good advice and recieved good service. I have used his services for over 25 years. Will miss your expertise. I hope you have good fortunes in your next endeavors.
