Choosing us over big box stores puts you at an advantage because you instantly become a part of our community.  We have a network of people who work together and are closely knit. By coming to us, we directly and establish a relationship with you.  Customer satisfaction is our main goal.  We invite you to come on down to the shop and explore our inventory.   

The big box stores care about volume, guests in the door and sales.  A lot of retail big box stores also do not offer you the value that we can.  Generally, when you go to a these stores, you are going to pay the big bucks for a premium brand name.  At YPP, we work with our prices to be competitive and pass on value to you.  There are not many businesses in the space that pass on value and opportunity to the customer.  Retail stores have a main goal of selling while we can intake items and pay you on the spot for your unwanted or unneeded goods.  By being able to pay you for your items, we can establish rapport and work many times in the future.  By offering this service of buying goods from the guest, we can get to know our guests even better and suit their needs even more so.  

A key element of the pawn shop business is inventory.  We are always buying and selling so our inventory is ever flowing.  We pride ourselves in giving our guests great value in our inventory as well as great pricing to either buy or sell from us.  We have been in business since 1994, servicing customers for over 27 years in the community.  Your items being entrusted with us will help us give back to the surrounding communities.  With the current health situation the world is in, some of the community members may not be able to afford goods at a retail price.  Some people may also need cash to meet the needs of daily life.  We want you to come in and be satisfied here at Yankee Peddler and Pawn.
