"Ultra Stores has now 170 stores in operation selling jewellery and watches in USA. We've seen better consumer confidence in the market and are cautiously optimistic about the outlook. This year, I've come with a five-member purchasing team to source different products including gold and silver jewellery, coloured stones, diamonds and watches. The timing of this show is very good as we can acquire new products, test the market's response and re-order the right items for the Christmas period."
