"Awesome place. I've done a lot of business with them and always feel I've been treated very fair."

"Great people, I use to Cut Johns hair. Since his passing his son has taken over he doing a great job."

"I consider most pawn shops a rip off, but not this one. They pay more than the others, and will typically work with your late paying on an item as long as you get in touch with them. You can tell they value their customers."

"I trusted Chris with my 1 carat diamond studs. I wanted to have screw backs put on them to guarantee their safety. It was a horrible mistake. I received no word about my earrings for some time and when I checked on them he said they were done and charged me $80. He’d already taken the money when I looked and saw that no work had been done. He quickly said he had been mistaken; it was just the jeweler’s estimate. He’d send them back out. Again I received no notification so I went back. This time they were really ready. However, he wanted me to pay on my estranged husband’s pawn ticket. I told him I didn’t want to and that it would take everything I had to make that payment. He continued to pressure me, at one point stating, “Your earrings will always be here.” The next time I returned of course my earrings were nowhere to be found. No apology, no compensation. It’s my fault for not getting them sooner."

"John,Oakley and Chris are some good and far guys! They got me a great deal on my wife engagement ring and everything else I buy. And when I'm in a bind I know I can swing by there and they will take care of me..."
