We operate using need based lending criteria. This means our goal is to loan you the amount which you need to borrow. Consequently this is the best information you can give you loan associate. We realize this is just a loan and although the loan must be secured with merchandise, it is very important to us to help you solve your financial needs. Our loan associates are directed to inform you if you are over secured in the event you might need to borrow more money.

When you bring in an item to secure a loan we have a number of ways we evaluate the merchandise. Our crew has over 75 years combined experience so they have large amounts of knowledge in many areas. We may also use current selling price, like items in the store, reference books, and the internet to help us determine value. This process generally takes less than 5 minutes but it is very important because it allows us to offer you top dollar!

A pawn is a loan given in exchange for collateral. We lend money on items of value. These items range from gold and diamond jewelry, firearms, musical instruments, televisions, electronics, tools, art, collectables, and more.

Our loans are based on the value of the collateral. When you pay back the loan, the merchandise is returned to you. If you chose not to pay your loan, the collateral is accepted as payment in full. Our loans are for one month and sixty days. Any payments made will extend the last day of grace of your pawn loan.

Pawn loans are fast and easy. There is no credit check or minimum dollar amount that you have to borrow. All you need is an item of value and a state approved ID.

Less than half of one percent of all pawned collateral is identified as stolen. That’s because customers must provide positive identification and a complete description of the merchandise. Every transaction is reported to law enforcement through LeadsOnline, which greatly deters a thief from bringing stolen goods here.

We deal in firearms and are regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

A loan extension occurs when you pay a portion of the interest on a loan. This extends the loan for however many days you paid the interest. Most often customers chose to pay the interest monthly to extend the loan one month at a time. A loan renewal occurs when you pay the interest in full and a new ticket is issued starting fresh. Both an extension and a renewal are options for ensuring your collateral is not placed out for sale.

If you are paying on a loan, you must pay with cash. This is so we can ensure we have cash to make new loans. If you are paying on a layaway or purchasing an item from the store you can pay with cash, check, or Visa/Mastercard.
