AUDIO: SHOPPING MALL JEWELRY STORES GOING DOWN
The next retail category to go under? Mall jewelry stores. Signet Jewelers, parent company of Zales, Kay Jewelers, Jared and other jewelry brands, is expecting to close more than 200 stores by the end of 2019. The company has seen store sales drop in recent years. Specific store locations have not been identified.

* Can we expect a “buy one – get one free” diamond sale?
* Oh, well – more empty retail spaces for Starbucks.
