forget the pawn shop stereotype

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

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 says.

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