Loyal Customers HELPING Local Businesses
Here are some great examples of loyal customers supporting their local businesses! These stores have been touched by the volume of sales brought to them by their community and the faithful visitors to their area. They have gratefully received numerous phone, email and online orders which have helped keep their businesses thriving. They are all getting the same feedback regarding Dune…that these pieces are more important than ever as keepsakes for their fondest memories of their travels.
Franklin’s On The Waterfront, St. Croix
Open since 2011, Franklin’s is a funky and fun store that specializes in unique items (like Dune) and offers local made products as well. Here’s what Michelle, Franklin’s Proprietor had to say:
“I carry products I stand behind and that I’m passionate about. My goal is to stand out and be me. Everyone can do the same thing and fit in, but I like being different and in my own category. People feel good when they come in and leave with something that’s not mainstream. Dune sells for me because I believe in it! I wear it! And being able to show people that the price points are for every budget is especially helpful.” – Michelle, Franklin’s Proprietor

Henry’s Landmark Jewelers, NJ
With 3 key locations, two in Ocean City, NJ and one in Cape May, NJ, Henry’s Landmark Jewelers is a mainstay and destination for many visitors to the Shore!
“Henry’s Landmark Jewelers of Ocean City, NJ is the story of a truly American Dream. An Improbable Dream, as their website notes, but a successful and very satisfying one. In 1972, two friends from Little League decided to open a store. Sell cool jewelry, neat clothes, stuff like that. They knew nothing about the business. Shark Tank would have laughed them off. But now, almost 50 years later, Henry’s stands as an Ocean City institution…and a proud retailer of Dune Jewelry!” – Sam Koperwas, Henry’s Landmark Jewelers Co-Founder

Nifty Things, MI
Opened by owners Doug and Martee Hickman in 2006, Nifty Things has 3 unique stores in “Up North” Michigan: Alden, Elk Rapids, and their youngest, yet largest location, Traverse City.
“What makes Nifty Things successful is no secret. We have the best people. We work hard. We sell the most unique items way before other stores get them. We change almost 50 percent of the store items several times a year, and most important, we have fun doing it. That’s why our customers keep coming to our stores. They want to see what’s new, and what’s hot! The customers also like to take a piece of Northern Michigan back with them, and the Dune pieces we have allow them to do just that.” – Nifty Things
The loyal customers who return to shop at Nifty Things time and time again have been instrumental in supporting the store during the challenges of the past few months!
