forget the pawn shop stereotype

This pawn shop does not deal in guns, ammunition, electronics, tools or shoes.

If you envision a pawn shop as some dimly lit store with a sketchy-looking individual avoiding eye contact behind the counter trying to pass off stolen goods, you will be surprised at Wright Pawn & Jewelry. An enthusiastic staff politely helps you buy, sell or pawn in a boutique atmosphere. True to their slogan, you can "Buy ours, sell yours or get a loan!®"

With Texas Legislature oversight, the Texas Office of Consumer Credit regulates all pawn shops in Texas. “We are a highly regulated financial institution. However, unlike banks, we give nonjudgmental instant cash loans on the spot with no credit check. Your collateral is your credit,” Pamela Wright says.

“Our customers come from all walks of life and every social bracket.  Contrary to popular belief, most customers return for their pawned treasures so about only 20 percent of our inventory comes from pawned goods,” Pamela adds.

how to get away with luxury for less

True to their slogan "How To Get Away With Luxury®", value for your money is ever present no matter which type of merchandise you are looking for. Jewelry cases span the store filled with sparkling engagement rings adorned with GIA certified diamonds, lots of designer jewelry and watches including luxury brands of Cartier, Patek Philippe, Roger Dubuis and Rolex for much less than approximate retail price. Like new and gently loved luxury handbags including Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Hermès, Louis Vuitton and YSL plus more overflow from 21 shelves for much less than approximate retail price as well.
