"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."

"Very nice ladies everytime! I’m so happy they’re always helpful."

"Let me start by saying — selling my old jewelry has been a total drag. I went from shop to shop all week trying to get a fair deal. Then I found Rich’s Pawn, and they made the whole process insanely simple and seamless. Kyle was fantastic! He sorted, tested, and weighed all my jewelry right in front of me. No games, no guessing. On top of that, he gave me the highest offer I’d gotten all week — by far! If you’re looking to sell your old jewelry, I honestly can’t recommend them enough..."
- Debra Manning, July 2025
