Woodbridge, Va. –– With the cutting of a ribbon, Terry Quinn opened his newest jewelry store Wednesday to the applause of area business owners.
The new store, Quinns 2, sits in the Potomac Town Center in Woodbridge next to Wegmans.
It is the successor to Quinn’s Goldsmith, which opened more than 20 years ago in Occoquan.
“My goal is to have one shop to go back and do what I love to do, and that is jewelry work,” Quinn told the crowd of about 50 well wishers. “I had a store for 20 years, and with this new one, maybe someday we’ll have three. But I’m really overwhelmed with the two I have right now.”
In addition to drinks and snacks, there were politicians on hand to wish Quinn well.
“Terry is joining 65 new retailers that are coming here to Potomac Town Center, and these town centers are really the new look of Prince William,” said Prince William Board Chairman Corey A. Stewart.
Also there was the Mayor of the Occoquan – a small village in eastern Prince William where Quinn’s has become a household name.
“We wish you the best of luck in your new store, as long as you don’t close the one in Occoquan,” said Mayor Ernie Porta.
The new store is brighter and resembles that of a traditional jewelry store inside modern shopping centers.
Setting it apart from mall jewelry stores, however, is a new water fountain made in Florida from Italian marble. Quinn will donate it, and the coin that has been dropped inside of the fountain, to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The store also has on site jewelry repair, and Quinn says it’s his goal to invite customers to the shop for a social hour where they can choose a piece of jewelry they would like Quinn to make and then see him craft it.
During his grand opening week, Quinn will offer various jewelry pieces from his vendors and will give away a one-carat diamond from his own collection.
The grand opening festivities will continue on Saturday.
