Top-rated pawn shops in the US

How this ranking works

Shops are ranked by their Google rating weighted by their number of Google reviews. A shop with 4.9 stars from 800 reviews places above one with 5.0 stars from 12, because a rating backed by more reviews says more. A shop needs at least 10 reviews to be ranked, and no chain gets more than two places on any list.

4,033 shops qualify nationally. The order comes only from those two numbers, which come from Google and change over time.
