Meanwhile, Precious Metals & Diamonds was the only winner in the Established Business category.
The company said on its Instagram page that it was thrilled to take home the award.
“As a small, family-owned business, this recognition means a lot to us.”
The winners in each category took home a “block key,” an old breeze block in the lobby of the demolished Founders Theater that was used as a trophy.
