HUGE News here. UltraStores is being bought out by the Largest specialty Jewelry Retailer in the USA AND UK! As you may already know, BRGO recently shipped an initial $600k order to Ultra Stores. However, BRGO won't be shipping to the 5th Largest Jewelry Retailer, they will be shipping to the Largest Jewelry Retailer in the US & UK. This puts BRGO in an incredible position.
