Well, it's a nice time of year. Income taxes are finally coming in, the weather is beautiful, and we here at Community Pawn are happy to be seeing new and familiar faces walking in our doors. Valentine's Day has officially past us by and we are happy to say that we've been a part of yet another couple's happily-ever-after. A gentleman stopped by back around Christmas and started setting things up with us to propose to his girlfriend of three years. He popped the question on Valentine's Day and the two of them have already started planning their wedding. This is one of the things we love most. We get to hear people's stories and become part of their lives. We really don't just want customers but extended family. Saint Patrick's Day is the next big holiday coming up and we're currently working on getting up a variety of our seasonal pieces up on a new page for everyone. The theme? Think GREEN! Claddagh rings and pendants have been amassed all of our emeralds are clustered, and we even have some specialty pieces I'm going to make every come in to see. We're excited and we hope that everyone out there come in to see some of our pretty things! Until next week, ~W~

Well this is the week of love. Thursday is Valentine's Day and we have been super busy! Have you been one of the people who has gotten your gift from us? We have a variety of pieces which are perfect for this season. Reds, pinks, hearts, love. Gotta love it! For the non-traditionals: we have a variety of items for you, as well. A leaf-blower says "love," right? Keep checking our website for updates and promotions. We're hoping to get a page up soon that is dedicated to the season and what sales we have going on at any given time. Have a lovely week! ~D~ Alright everyone,
Here is the first installment. Back in August (2012), we decided to bite the big bullet and upgrade our computer system. For those you hadn't been to see us before then, we had been working on a DOS based program, including outdated computers, that was put into place when we first opened back in November of 1993. I'd say it was it was about time for some new equipment and software! , Now, even a few months later, we are STILL working bugs out of the system. There have been a few problems associated with this new fangled thing, but, for the most part, the upgrade has been great! We have better security, all of our information is in the same place, and the computers now have applications which make our lives so much easier. That being said, we sill appreciate when our customers understand that we are learning a new system; new in the grand scheme of things. On the lighter side of things: We have started our Facebook page, gotten a Twitter feed up and running, AND we have this new, pretty website for everyone to look at! Progress is being made after 19 years! We also have an Ebay store that we're trying to use to move some of our more obscure items: like a metal detector or high-end cameras. We post new items weekly and are willing to work with our buyers so that everyone is happy. Employing the same mindset online as we have in-store for the entire time we've been operating. Feel free to always contact us with questions, comments, and/or concerns. Soon, we are going to get a poll up and running, asking you, our customers, what YOU would like to see on sale each month. Birthstones, holiday pieces, tools, jewelry, CDs, DVDs: the list goes on! Let us know. Until next time, ~W~ |
DeeHi there, I am the Assistant Manager here at Community Pawn. I'm also the owners' daughter. I'll be posting on a regular basis (I'm gonna try!) to try to keep everyone up to date on some of the things going on in our store. Happy reading! Archives
