Fink's to open Raleigh store
Fink's Jewelers, a Roanoke-based jewelry store chain, will open a store Thursday in Raleigh, N.C.
Fink's has seven stores in Virginia, with locations in Roanoke, Lynchburg and Richmond. It also owns three stores in Charlotte, N.C., which operate under the Garibaldi and Bruns name. The new 1,500-square-foot Raleigh store, which will be in an expansion wing of Crabtree Valley Mall, will also be part of the Garibaldi and Bruns family, said Fink's President Marc Fink.
Fink's was established in Roanoke in 1930, and is now operated by the second and third generations of the founding family.
