PROFILE |
 |
Whitehall Jewellers (formerly Marks Bros. Jewelers) is mining the malls of America. The company sells fine jewelry through about 350 stores in 37 states, primarily under the Whitehall and Lundstrom names. The stores, generally small (around 900 sq. ft.) and located in high-traffic areas in malls, cater to middle- and upper-income women 25 years of age and older. Diamonds account for more than 60% of sales, but the company also sells gold and precious and semiprecious stone jewelry; the stores carry only a few watches and almost no costume jewelry or gift merchandise. Whitehall Jewellers has slowed its rate of opening news stores, although it sometimes operates stores under different names in the same mall.
