Pawnshops are retail stores that are qualified to provide collateral-based loans against the value of any type of item. As such, pawnshops are a valuable resource for those in need of a quick cash loan.
Pawnshops are also a place where you can buy used but heavily discounted merchandise or sell your unwanted goods for cash outright or for store credit. Azusa Jewelry & Loan is a fully licensed, locally owned and operated pawnshop in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley.
Pawnbroking has been around in one form or another since antiquity. The history of pawn or collateral lending goes back for thousands of years. Queen Isabella is even said to have pawned her crown jewels to fund the voyage of Christopher Columbus. So, while the pawn business has changed over the years, the principle remains the same: using collateral to obtain the cash you need to meet your goals.
