FirstCash

FirstCash operates pawn stores that make small non-recourse loans secured by personal property and buy and sell a wide mix of jewelry, electronics, tools, appliances, sporting goods and musical instruments. Buying gold, silver and platinum for immediate cash is a core part of the business.

A customer can take a pawn loan against an item left as collateral, or sell something outright and be paid on the spot. A layaway plan lets shoppers put down 10% and buy what they want over time. The company is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, and runs more than 3,300 pawn and consumer lending locations across the United States, the United Kingdom and Latin America.
