"Honest, patient, non-judgmental, fairly priced, respectful, pleasant, enjoyable, professional, quality service. Truly OUTSTANDING customer service. Mark, Mariella, and the rest of the staff have been so wonderful to us EVERY time we've gone in. Not a single time have I been disappointed with the service or the work. Without a moments hesitation, I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you guys for being so outstanding- you've got our business!"

"I have used Rich's on and off for ten years or more; they keep my valuable safe; they are much more than a pawn shop. At Rich's I have always been able to pay back the loan; get my jewelry; and I am so thankful to have a business with whom I can borrow anytime the need arises. Rich's is honest and trustworthy. I wouldn't go anywhere else."

"I couldn’t be happier with the service from WM Rich and Sons! From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, efficient, and thorough. The team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled perfectly. Their craftsmanship is top-notch, and you can tell they take immense pride in their work. Communication was clear, and they always kept me updated throughout the entire process. It’s rare to find a company that genuinely cares about customer satisfaction, but WM Rich and Sons exceeded all expectations..."
