As August comes to an end and the first day of school is right around the corner, parents and students are scrambling to buy school supplies to be ready for the school year. Summer vacation always seems to go by quicker and quicker each year. We tend to get so used to our summer routine of relaxing and having a fun time that it’s time to get back into work mode. Which can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time.   

Yankee Peddler and Pawn are here to help! We have been in business since 1994 and are in Connecticut with 3 different storefronts – East Hartford, New London, and Groton! We have been servicing customers for over 27 years in the community and have an amazingly kindhearted staff.
