We are pleased to report that the original post of Monday, October 17, 2011 has now shown to be incorrect as it pertains to a pawn shop coming to town.
According to an article posted today by Jeff McKinney on nky.com, Quick-Cash Inc., traditionally a pawn shop, has cut out the pawning portion of its operation in order to open a location at 8242 Alexandria Pike.
John Wischer, general manager for Quick-Cash, said the Alexandria location is the company's first store in Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana that focuses on buying and selling gold, silver and platinum items and does not offer pawn loans in exchange for goods. Alexandria zoning laws do not permit pawn shops within city limits.
He said the buy-and-sell concept store is what differentiates the store from Quick-Cash's other traditional pawn shop locations.
Wischer said the 1,740-square-foot store next to an Ameristop also purchases and sells new and used consumer electronics, game systems, tools, musical instruments, laptops and DVDs. Wischer said sellers can check out the company's buy policy at www.getmoreformygold.com.
