What this is
PawnAtlas is a free directory of pawn shops & check cashing stores in the United States, organised by state and city. Every listing has an address; most have a phone number, and where a business publishes its hours or services we show those too. Listings come from open data and from the businesses themselves, who can correct their card at any time — about the directory. Nothing on the lists is paid placement.
Pick a state above, or use the “near me” button to jump to the pawn shops & check cashing stores closest to you. City pages show the full list with a map; state pages collect smaller towns that have a single store.

Common questions
How much do pawn shops pay?
Typically 25–60% of resale value, depending on demand and how fast the item moves. Gold and jewelry are priced off weight and purity; get quotes from 2–3 shops before deciding.
What do pawn shops buy the most?
Gold and jewelry, power tools, electronics, gaming consoles, instruments and firearms (where licensed). Clean, working items with accessories get the best offers.
How does a pawn loan work?
You leave an item as collateral and get cash on the spot. Repay the loan plus fees within the term (usually 30–90 days) to get it back — or forfeit the item, with no hit to your credit.
