Robbins Bros. Jewelry, Inc. is a California-based jewelry store specializing in engagement rings. Robbins Brothers describes itself as “the engagement ring store.” == History == In 1921 Robbins Brothers opened its first store in Seattle, Washington. The first store, Ben Tipp Diamonds was founded by Ben Tipp. Ben Tipp’s son, Eugene Robbins, later purchased a new store, William Pitt Jewelers located in Pasadena, California. Eugene Robins’ two sons, Skip and Steve later took over management of the company. In 1993, the retailer changed its name to "Robbins Bros., The Engagement Ring Store.” From 1993-2003 Robbins Bros created a series of advertisements, particularly the “non-ad” radio commercials starring Skip and Steve Robbins, that allowed them to obtain 21% market share of jewelry by 2003.〔Garcia, Shelley.

On May 29, 2013, Robbins Brothers, The Engagement Ring Store announced that it had purchased all the assets of Washington based E.E. Robbins, adding the two Seattle based stores to the Robbins Brothers chain. As of June 2013, Robbins Brothers had a total of 14 retail locations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robbins Brothers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
