Jean’s Jewelers Grand Re-Opening
On Friday, July 24th, the Front Royal/Warren County Chamber of Commerce held the official ribbon-cutting ceremony at Jean’s Jewelers at 413-C South Street in Front Royal.
Jean Plauger found her passion for jewelry while working for the beloved Joe and Dot McDaniel of McDaniel’s Jewelers for twelve years. When the McDaniels retired, Jean carried on their tradition of high-quality services and exceptional customer service by opening her own store in the heart of Front Royal in May 1998. Nearly twenty-three years later, Jean and her friendly staff are still serving the local community – with gifts and creative ideas to accommodate any budget.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Jean presented gifts to the Front Royal Police Department’s Civilian-Employee-of-the-Year Dana Copp and Police Officer-of-the-Year Brad Pennington. Please join us in congratulating Officer Pennington and Dana Kopp for all of their hard work at the Front Royal Police Department.
Our camera was there and captured the moment in this exclusive video:
