New York—The inductees for the 20th annual National Jeweler Retailer Hall of Fame, an honor for jewelers who have made significant contributions in jewelry retailing, have been announced.

Al Molina of Molina Jewelers in Phoenix is the winner in the single-store independent category, while Michael Pollack of Hyde Park Jewelers takes honors in the multi-independent category, and Marvin Beasley, of North Kansas City, Mo.-based Helzberg Diamond Shops Inc., is the winner in the majors category.

Molina opened Molina Jewelers in Phoenix in September 1987. The store is a retailer of fine gold, watches, diamond and colored-stone jewelry, and also does jewelry and watch repairs.

Hyde Park Jewelers has been serving the Denver area for more than 25 years, with its current Denver store located at Cherry Creek Mall.

In addition, Hyde Park has stores in Phoenix, which opened in November 2003, and Las Vegas, which opened in August 1997.

Morris Helzberg opened the first Helzberg store in Kansas City, Mo., in 1919.

Today, the company has 270 stores nationwide and is part of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

A panel of jewelry-retailing peers selected each class of Hall of Fame winners, and National Jeweler will profile each in a special supplement to the magazine, slated for August.

In addition, the winners will be honored at the National Jeweler Retailer Hall of Fame dinner, scheduled for 6 p.m. on July 26 at the Mandarin Oriental, 80 Columbus Circle at 60th Street in Manhattan.
