PROFILE |
 |
There's nothing neutral about Little Switzerland's definitively upscale stores. The company operates 17 duty-free stores that sell jewelry, watches, crystal, china, and other luxury items priced from $20 to $30,000. Its stores, which are located in Caribbean travel and Alaskan cruise-ship destinations, appeal to tourists looking to avoid the import taxes they would pay at home. In early 1998 the company lost its largest supplier, Rolex (25% of sales), and in late 1999 its stock was delisted by Nasdaq. Chairman Seymour Holtzman and his family own about 20% of the company through Jewelcor Management. Little Switzerland sold a 45% stake to an affiliate of luxury goods retailer Tiffany & Co. in mid-2001.
