About Us

Wm. S. Rich and Son., a family owned business, was established in Newark, NJ in 1890. Rich has always been the Garden State s largest pawnbroker/jeweler. As smaller competitors in Newark closed their doors, Wm. S. Rich and Son acquired their pawn loans to become one of Newark’s oldest and most successful businesses.

In 1993 Rich decided to expand outside of the City of Newark and opened our second Location in Belleville. Recognizing a greater need for pawnshops in the state, Rich and Son has since expanded to now 12 locations in New Jersey.  Even as we have grown, Rich and Son still remains a family business providing local Pawn, wholesale and custom Jewelry, check cash and more but all with the personalized customer service that has led to much of its success. Now in 2015, it’s Celebrating 125 Years of Service!
