"This place William S .Richardson & Son Pawnshop in downtown Newark has a lot of new people there that treat people with no respect I went there to get rid a TV that I was not need it, and the short young girl treat me with no respect and talking to me like if I was a junky she was taking everything like a joke when I was talking unless she was high but that’s not concern my concern is how she was treat me and how she was talking to me and not being serious among herself she needs more training and she needs to grow up and act like an adult..."

"I am very pleased with the service I received from Valerie of Rich and Son. Both myself and fiancé purchased an engagement ring. Her customer service was outstanding. She was polite and stuck with our affordability that we would be satisfied with our purchase. I will continue to purchase and recommend others to purchase as well from Rich and Son."

"The best pawnshow experience ever. Shout out to my fav teller VAL. She was excellent in customer service and compassion. I left half of my gold ring which had broken, went home tumbled the car my pockets etc and couldn't find it. Went back to redeem my chain a month later and val said hey u left this. Thanks for your honesty. Best prices and customer service 👌 William s. Rich & Son"
