As some of you may have recently heard when we did our “Concierge Level Presentation” up at the Midwest show, pawn shops are closing at an alarming rate, (more than 5000 have closed in the Philippines alone), retail revenues are in decline, pawn loan balances have been contracting, inventories more challenging to control, adaptation to technology very slow in the USA and the global market and much more.
In short, these are some of the most challenging times in the Pawn World’s history to grow or sustain your business.

Real Life Store Performances
PCG is very proud to report recent results occurring with several of our newest clients coming into the fold and post our initial consultations. These results have been achieved with on-going supportive roles we have been providing for our groups of clients on many levels.
They say,“the proof is in the results”right?
As with any good business person(s), business, or consultants, validating actual customer testimonials remains the true litmus test of results achieved for others and should be done before you make that investment decision into your business.
