Wisconsin Jewelers Run “Family Business with Soul”

Andy and Jenn Koehn are the modern-day Koehn & Koehn of their business, which was founded by Andy’s grandfather sometime in the 1930s. “We aren’t exactly sure when we were founded,” Andy says. “The Koehns aren’t so into numbers. Ha!” Jenn is responsible for back of the house, and Andy is up front working in sales, training and as a greeter. They call their enterprise a “family business with soul” and infuse it with all the authenticity, personality and humor at their disposal.

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
