According to Tacoma Unplugged, E.E. Robbins is divorcing Tukwila and moving to Tacoma, citing irreconcilable differences over traffic congestion near Southcenter:
E.E. Robbins The Enagament Ring Store is coming to Tacoma. They will be located in the former Quality Sewing & Vacuum store in Metro Plaza (across South 37th Street from Costco). They will be relocating their Southcenter store in Tukwila, WA to Tacoma due to traffic congestion/problems around the Southcenter store. They expect to be open in early February 2009.
I am told by the man himself Emerson Robbins (yes he sounds the same on the phone as in the commercials) that E.E. Robbins is a local family owned business. They don’t do the sales scheme like other jewelry stores, you know the 40% off 3 days a week, 25% off 3 days a week, and regular price one day a week. Every manager of the store becomes a partner in ownership. Two of the managers are buyers for the company and every year they go overseas to hand pick their diamonds.
