Hi Stephen Lehman

Welcome! I have a question for you. I am looking at opening up
in a “Gallery”. What can you tell me about price mark-up vs.
regular Jewelry stores or concessions in Malls. Is it about the
same and dependent on the class of store, neighborhood, etc., or
is it higher? I am making reference to mark-up like your small
town family owned Jewelry store may be set at Keystone where a
concession in a high class Department store or High class Jewelry
store at triple-keystone. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Stephen, You will like it here on Orchid. The questions and
responses come and go like waves in the ocean, sometimes heated
and fascinating, sometimes routine but important, always a new
batch rolling in.

Welcome aboard,
