Jun. 1, 2011 (Business Wire) — DGSE Companies, Inc. (NYSE Amex: DGSE), which buys and sells jewelry, fine watches, diamonds, rare coins and precious metals products via traditional and Internet channels announces the successful launch of its DGSE Bullion Express Stores with the recent opening of its first two locations in Woodland Hills, California and Dallas, Texas. DGSE Bullion Express will provide immediate delivery of all precious metals products in transactions facilitated by its refining partner

In addition to selling precious metals products, Bullion Express locations will also purchase precious metals products, scrap and pre-owned jewelry providing two way markets for customers with the same professional service and reliability they have come to know from DGSE’s four flagship stores and web-based channels. Certain Bullion Express locations, including Woodland Hills and Dallas, will also include a retail environment where customers can purchase unique one of a kind jewelry pieces, diamonds and fine watches.

“I am very pleased to report that our first two Bullion Express locations were opened on time and under budget,” stated William Oyster, President and COO of DGSE. “Initial traffic and sales volumes have exceeded expectations during our ‘soft opening’ adding to our confidence that these unique precious metals centers will be well received in a number of cities and markets around the Country.

“Today, more and more consumers are demanding prompt physical delivery of precious metals products, an increasingly difficult task for many dealers and traditional outlets due to robust demand and limited physical supply. Our unique relationship with our refining partner overcomes these challenges and positions us to capitalize in this growing market. New Bullion Express locations are currently being planned with the expectation that up to four additional locations will be opened by year end.”
