New upscale shopping experience allows investors to buy and sell physical gold and silver
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill.?()?DGSE Companies, Inc. announced today the grand opening of its Bullion Express location in Highland Park, IL. Transforming the purchase of gold from an electronic transaction to an in-person tangible investment, Bullion Express will offer precious metal bullion for purchase and same day delivery.
?Those interested in expanding their holdings to include gold and silver should visit Bullion Express in Highland Park?
?The price of gold rose 10 percent in 2011, and many investors with an eye to the future have diversified their portfolios by acquiring an interest in gold and silver,? said William Oyster, DGSE Companies, Inc. Chairman and C.E.O. ?Bullion Express provides an opportunity to purchase precious metals in a safe, straightforward environment where one can see and evaluate their gold and silver choices first hand.?
Bullion Express offers a trained staff experienced in the buying and selling of bullion. Guests will be able to get up-to-the-moment precious metals market pricing and have their questions answered about physical gold investing.
?No one offers buyers this kind of specialized experience,? said Oyster. ?Until now, gold and silver investors mostly held paper, not actual hard assets. A Bullion Express customer can take their purchase home that day ? a new opportunity to own a tangible investment in gold.?
Customers also have the ability to sell bullion with the same straightforward experience as buying. This ability to easily transition in and out of physical precious metal investments with unprecedented low cost is a first for the US consumer.
?Those interested in expanding their holdings to include gold and silver should visit Bullion Express in Highland Park,? said Oyster. ?It?s the smartest place to explore the opportunity of physical gold investing.?
Bullion Express is located at 1831 St. Johns Avenue in Highland Park and is open from 10-6 Monday through Friday and 10-4 Saturday.
Oyster concluded, ?We are also happy with the way construction is progressing at our Buckhead, GA location. We are still expecting this new store to be open in early Spring 2012.?
