"The best pawnshow experience ever. Shout out to my fav teller VAL. She was excellent in customer service and compassion. I left half of my gold ring which had broken, went home tumbled the car my pockets etc and couldn't find it. Went back to redeem my chain a month later and val said hey u left this. Thanks for your honesty. Best prices and customer service 👌 William s. Rich & Son"
