U.S. Money Shops Expands Pawn Center

(PRWEB) March 25, 2010 -- U.S. Money Shops (www.usmoneyshops.com) has expanded its Cleveland pawn center on South Lee Highway to meet growing demand.

The U.S. Money Shops location has undergone a complete makeover that includes new display cases, a remodeled floor design for easier browsing and a wider selection of inventory that includes jewelry, cameras, electronics, musical instruments, tools, sporting goods and numerous other items.

U.S. Money Shops Vice President Glen Coronis says the expansion of the Cleveland pawn center is a result of the company successfully re-branding the pawn image and offering a more customer-friendly approach to pawn transactions.

“This really is not your stereotypical pawn shop with bars on the windows and a guy behind the counter smoking a cigar. U.S. Money Shops is as nice as any retail store with a clean, inviting atmosphere and a knowledgeable, professional staff,” Coronis said. “That, coupled with the increased demand for pawn services, has resulted in U.S. Money Shops needing this additional space.”

U. S. Money Shops lends money by using any valuable merchandise as collateral. The loans vary widely depending on the value of the collateral. The average loan period at U.S. Money Shops is 30 days and interest rates vary according to the amount of the loan. U.S. Money Shops also purchases merchandise outright from customers who do not wish to reclaim their items. Merchandise is sold at the U.S. Money Shops locations in Cleveland and Chattanooga and online at www.usmoneyshops.com.

U.S. Money Shops is located at 500 South Lee Highway in Cleveland, across from Kile Dodge. A second U.S. Money Shops is located in Chattanooga at 5952 Brainerd Road, next to Big Lots. Coronis said U.S. Money Shops is currently exploring additional expansions.

In addition to pawn service, U.S. Money Shops purchases merchandise and offers a full-line of specialty financial services including payday advance, title loans, Western Union money transfer, check cashing and Visa prepaid cards.

U.S. Money Shops opened in October 2006 and is a Jones Management Services, LLC company.
