SuperPawn

Jack Daughtery opened his first pawnshop in 1983 in Irving, Texas; little did he know that some 25 years later that single store would have grown to encompass an international company that would include the respected SuperPawn chain. Today, it has grown to more than 900 locations in the United States and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The growth of the SuperPawn brand has been based on innovative services, excellent customer service, and a reputation for fair prices and courteous treatment of its customers.

Mr. Daughtery recognized that hard-working people without access to traditional lines of credit oftentimes need short-term emergency funds. He wanted to make the concept of collateralized loans (commonly known as pawn loans) more widely available to mainstream borrowers. At a pawn shop, borrowers who have no, little, or damaged credit are able to get money at a fair rate by allowing the pawn shop to hold a valuable item until the loan is repaid. The loan can be extended beyond its due date by paying a small renewal fee. Pawn shops also provide a market for the outright sale of valuable goods. These services have long been available in small pawn shops scattered throughout the country. Mr. Daughtery wanted to establish a nationwide network of pawnshops that would have standardized services and carry a trusted name that his customers would come to recognize. In only four years, SuperPawn was able to grow from one Texas location to a publicly traded company.
How have Cash America International and the SuperPawn brand been able to grow so quickly into one of the nation's most widely recognized and respected collateralized loan specialists? SuperPawn places an emphasis on making its customers comfortable with its services. Company locations are large and well lit with friendly, knowledgeable loan consultants. SuperPawn was the first company of its kind to institute a training system for all its employees. They can explain the procedure for pawning an item to any first-time borrower. Customers who may not be familiar with the collateralized loan process can also visit the SuperPawn website (http://www.superpawn.com/) for a detailed explanation of what to expect and what they will need to bring with them.

In addition to its superior customer service, SuperPawn has also established a company-wide system for consistent valuation of pawned items. This system ensures that all borrowers receive an equitable valuation of their collateral. SuperPawn doesn't just offer collateralized loan services.

SuperPawn was also the first store of its kind to offer a 30-day guarantee on any merchandise purchased at one of its locations. All locations also offer layaway. Find something that you like, and put it on hold with only a ten percent down and affordable monthly payments.
