“Fast, Friendly Service Is Our Motto and We Usually Loan More”
PAWN CITY OF DOTHAN, INC. opened in Dothan in May of 1997. Deke Hilyer is the President and had his start in the pawn business in 1990 with PAWN CENTRAL in Opelika, Alabama. He and his brothers now own and operate a group of five (5) pawn shops.
Bill Tatum came to our store in 2001 as the new co-
We lost Bill in July 2011 to pancreatic cancer and he will be sorely missed by all of the pawn industry and most certainly by all of us here at Pawn City of Dothan, Inc. employees and customers alike.
I, Tami Bryant, assumed the role of manager after Bill’s passing and consider it a true honor and privilege to follow in Bill’s footsteps and to carry on his legacy here at Pawn City. I have been with the Pawn City Family since March 1, 2004 and truly love our company and the integrity we stand for.
A pawn shop is a collateral loan business. People bring in items of value and we loan cash on a portion of its value. The customer has 30 days to come in and get their item back with interest or pay the interest and buy more time on the item. After 60 days without a payment the item may be put out for sale. I feel we are an asset to the customer who only needs a small loan to get them through till payday. You would have a hard time borrowing $100.00 from the bank for a month.
Jewelry (Gold) is the item most often pawned. We do however take electronics, firearms, tools, musical instruments and equipment, camera’s, game systems and more as well.
I really enjoy working with our customers and helping with their short term financial needs. I receive great satisfaction in doing this, plus, I feel like I’m helping my fellow citizens and community as well. Pawn shops sometimes get a bad reputation as a fence or a place to take stolen items. That is really not the case. In fact we help solve crimes for the police. It is not that often stolen items come through our store. We require the Pawnee to have a state issued picture ID to pawn anything and they must also be 19 years old. A list of everything we take in each day goes to the Police Department daily with the description, model number and serial number. We also have 24 hour cameras recording transactions and events taking place in our store.
My staff and I are here to help in any way that we can. Fast, Friendly Service is our motto and we usually loan more.
Sincerely,
Tami Bryant
Store Manager
