Whitehall Jewelers Company Description
Whitehall Jewelers is mining the malls of America. The company sells fine jewelry through about 375 stores in 39 states, primarily under the Whitehall and Lundstrom names. The stores, generally small (about 880 sq. ft.) and located in high-traffic areas in malls, cater to middle- and upper-income men and women 25 years of age and older. Diamonds account for two-thirds of sales, but the company also sells gold and precious and semiprecious stone jewelry. Founded in 1895, Whitehall Jewelers was sold to a pair of investment funds, that includes Prentice Capital Management, in mid-2006. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in mid-2008.
