Which areas of the country are pawn shops most popular? Of the nation's more than 11,000 pawn shops, the highest concentration of pawn shops are found in the Southwest and the Southeast.
The pawnbroker’s symbol is three golden balls. It is believed that Saint Nicolas, the patron saint of pawnbrokers, would hang three golden balls above the doors of pawn shops in tribute to, and for good luck from, the saint.

The word "pawn" comes from the Latin word “platinum.” This means "cloth" or "clothing." The word “pan” is the French word for "skirt" or "blouse." In prior centuries, the key assets people owned were their clothes, and they borrowed money by pawning their clothing.

Going to a pawn broker has many advantages. Pawnbrokers offer the consumer a quick, convenient, and confidential way to borrow money. A short-term cash need can be met with no credit check or legal consequences if the loan is not repaid.
Pawnbrokers comply with federal, state, and local regulations and laws. In most cases, they provide local law enforcement with data on all transactions daily, which is how the rate of handling stolen goods is so low, standing at just 0.5 percent.
A pawn shop determines the value of an item based on condition, appraised market value, and how easily it will sell, among other factors. All items are priced at what they would be if sold at market value, so a used TV will cost the same as the going rate for similar products.
You may have pawned something of yours for a loan before, but do you know what the word pawn actually means? The word "pawn" is derived from the Latin "pignus," which literally means "pledge."
There is an estimated 25 million people in the United States who don't have access to a banking account. For these people, pawn shops serve as a major source of short-term money advance.
Membership in the National Pawnbrokers Association has grown from a mere 50 in 1988 to more than 3,000 in 2013. In 1911, there were 1,976 licensed pawnbrokers in the United States, which means, for every 45,700 residents, there was one pawnbroker.

Happy Friday! Some light-hearted and less intense jewelry to start the weekend. It doesn’t get better than Mickey 😉 Scroll through to see the lion’s head (special request Carole Leatherwood !) and a cute two tone anklet. All very affordable 😊
Pawn stores offer collateral loans for surprisingly low interest rates and specialize in short-term small loans. Our terms are for 4 months at 4.5% interest with a $4.00 service charge. The property is returned when the loan is paid back. You can return to pawn the item whenever you want!
Bet you didn't know the nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel" is all about pawning! That's right, the term "weasel" refers to a shoemaker's tool and the term "pop" means to pawn.
Did you know that the amount of money loaned in pawn broker transactions can range from as few as $20 to as much as several thousand dollars? Because of this, pawn shops are great places to find high-quality merchandise, including musical instruments and jewelry, typically for significantly less than their original price.
His and hers mystic topaz. What do you think? 🤔
Our customers are pros, coming in to shop for rings that match their nails! 😊 💚
It’s important to remember that the average pawn broker is in the business of making loans. Since not all of our borrowers are able to reclaim the items they put up as collateral, you may be able to find a true bargain on the items left behind.
