In today’s society, many people depend on pawnbrokers to help them meet daily financial needs not offered by other institutions. Pawn customers represent the working families of America who periodically experience an unexpected need for short-term funds. Pawn loans keep the electricity on, the rent paid and cars running with full tanks of gas.

This growing, competitive industry is constantly working to enhance the image of pawnbrokers, while offering needed services to their communities. Today’s pawn stores are attractive, welcoming places to do business. Most of them are family-owned and operated stores that offer superb customer service. Although pawnbrokers are primarily small business owners, they can also be larger, publicly traded companies that help to add to the professional status of the industry.

How can I be sure the merchandise I purchase at a pawn store isn't stolen?

Less than half of one percent of all pawned merchandise is identified as stolen goods. That’s because customers must provide positive identification and a complete description of the merchandise. This information is then regularly transmitted to law enforcement, which dramatically decreases the likelihood that a thief would bring stolen merchandise to a pawn store.

Pawnbrokers comply with all federal, state and local regulations and laws. In most jurisdictions, they provide local law enforcement with data on all transactions on a daily basis working with law enforcement helps ensure the safety of pawn customers and their property.

We refuse to trade in ANY merchandise that is stolen or reputed to be stolen.  We have close relationships with local law enforcement and we cooperate fully with any investigation into the attempted sale of stolen property.

Rest assured that the merchandise you find in the pawn shop is not stolen.  We only offer legitimate previously owned items of value and interest to the market.  Our inventory changes daily.
