Three generations of the Harrison family, including grandpa Richard, son Rick, and grandson Corey, jointly operate the family company on the outskirts of Las Vegas. There is conflict, friendship, and a colourful cast of people at every turn.
Pawn shops existed long before banks, ATMs, and check-cashing services. Up until the 1950s, pawning was the most popular form of consumer borrowing in the United States, and pawn shops continue to assist regular people in getting by. You are taken inside the vibrant pawn industry by Pawn Stars. Three generations of the Harrison family—grandfather Richard, son Rick, and grandson Corey—jointly manage the family company at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on the outskirts of Las Vegas. There is conflict and cooperation at every turn. A 16th-century samurai sword, a Super Bowl ring, a Picasso artwork, and a 17th-century lodging are among the items the three men use their keen eyes and expertise to evaluate for worth. Other items include everyday objects and some that are actually historic.
