Top-rated pawn shops in Illinois

How this list works: shops are ranked by their Google rating weighted by their number of Google reviews, so a high rating from many reviews places above a perfect rating from a few. A shop needs at least 10 reviews, and no chain gets more than two places.

188 of the 193 pawn shops we list in Illinois have 10 or more Google reviews. 50 chain locations were left out by the two-per-chain rule. These are the top 10.
