Signet, the world’s largest jewelry retailer, is the parent company behind known jewelry brands such as Kay, Jared, and Zales.

Thanks to a less-than-sparkly holiday season, the company is closing nearly 150 stores worldwide in an attempt to lower costs and maintain a strict bottom line. One of their newest marketing strategies is to pull out of dying mall locations, setting up shop in free-standing stores.
