Another year has passed since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and here we are, 2 years later, learning how to embrace life from a new perspective. The Crane Group on the other hand, celebrated its 17th anniversary last October and the company continues to expand with the help of many individuals, despite the challenges we all face amidst these trying times.
In addition to that, it is also our 10th year of establishing the company in Malaysia with two new Jewel Café Store opening where one of it is in Don don donki Tropicana Gardens Mall this month. 2021 was also another year that the company’s strength was put on to a test due to the current situation. However, we managed to overcome it and stay on track with our plans on new store openings.
And now, we’re looking forward to a brand-new year. We’ve always loved the motivation and excitement that a new year brings. There is no better time for a fresh start than the new year, right? Let this be the new year that we become a new version of ourselves as well as contributing more to the society and the world. Just before turning the page on 2021, here's a recap on the wonderful things that happened along our business journey and what we are looking forward to in 2022.
Jewel Cafe has grown so much over the past year, thanks to our team for their great work. We now have operated over 250 Jewel Café stores in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Malaysia where we develop a comprehensive recycling business primarily focused on purchasing jewelry such as golds and precious metals, branded bags and apparel, as well as luxury watches at a high price. Our stores are typically found in shopping malls which makes it easy for you to find us!
And because of that, Jewel Café are leading in customer service satisfaction since we make purchases familiar at a place that is convenient for customers as we also offer a comfortable and relaxing environment for customers to bring their unwanted items for evaluation. Not just that, we even welcome customers who bring in damaged necklaces or a piece of an earring for evaluation and provides free jewelry cleaning services.
