Exactly. And there are usually at least three people working in each one. They're open about twelve hours per day. Fixed cost have to be $500 - $750 per day plus labour at an additional $500 per day if your three employees are making minimum wage. Plus your inventory, insurance must be high, and whatever else. Setting up a store wouldn't be cheap with all the displays because it would have to look high end or don't even bother.
And I don't know a single person in my age range (40ish) that values jewellery like say our grandparents may have. Kind of like China. Nobody I know has or wants two sets of dishes but everyone did just a generation ago. My mom has tried to give us her "fine" China and we just say no.
But these jewellery stores are all over. There are literally nine in South Centre mall. That is insane. One should be more than enough. And they're always empty so wtf.
