Rob Burns, Principal of SLR Capital Partners, said, “Having been in business for over 75 years, Daniel’s Jewelers has built a well-respected brand with a loyal customer base across a growing geographic footprint and is led by an experienced management team. We are excited to partner with Palladium and Daniel’s and look forward to supporting the company in its next stage of growth.”
