About Us Caleb's Lighthouse makes shopping for beading needs a great experience at a great price - the Caleb's "Sea of Savings" - by offering a vast selection of both retail and wholesale beads, tools and jewelry making supplies. Caleb's serves everyone from the beading expert to newcomers who use our beads and Swarovski Crystal Beads to add jewelry to their collections, make jewelry as gifts, or create just the right dance costume.

Caleb's offers retail and wholesale pricing to our customers. Our retail is about 10% less than "wholesale" companies and we are consistently working with our many overseas suppliers to negotiate prices that will make the profit margin even better for our franchisees. For example, our watch faces begin at $4.55 retail and are wholesale to our franchisees for $1.75.

Each franchisee will establish wholesale accounts with their customers. Our corporate store in St. Peters, MO has over 450 wholesale accounts. Our wholesale is 20% Off retail for these watch faces to your customers that qualify for wholesale purchasing. Another example is our new line of hand- blown glass beads which retail for $7-$10 (still lower than competitors selling them at $15-$30). These beads are purchased by the franchisee at $1.50 allowing for a nice profit margin for your retail AND wholesale purchases in the store.

Our primary objective is to see that our franchisees succeed and make an excellent profit. We guarantee that our franchisees will have a much higher profit margin working with us and that prices for product cannot be found lower anywhere!
