Thacker Jewelry, a family-owned business, has been based in Roaring Springs since 1979. The store operates out of a former bank building where jewelers create various pieces. Owner Joe Thacker initially worked in the jewelry industry in New Mexico before returning to his hometown to start the business.

He aimed to contribute to the community, much like his grandfather's hardware supply store did. A second Thacker Jewelry shop was later opened in Lubbock, with the goal of bringing small-town friendliness to the city.
