Miner’s Den, Royal Oak, MI

The Miner’s Den — http://www.minersden.com/ — is a “gem” in my hometown of Royal Oak, Michigan. It’s a gem and jewelry store where I have bought “off the rack” as well as custom jewelry. A “loss leader” that brings us into the store (as often as not) is “free” watch battery replacement. All they ask is a $5 donation, which goes to the local Boys and Girls Club.

What a clever marketing idea.

Didn't work this time, though. Had 3 watches that had stopped. Two no longer work and I left with one working watch...
