Community First since 1979

At Braswell & Son, pawnbroking begins and ends with people. Since 1979, we’ve proudly served Arkansas and Tennessee with a community-first approach—offering fair value, trusted solutions, and a helping hand when it matters most. For over 45 years, neighbors have turned to us not just as a pawnbroker, but as part of the community we call home.

of every experience

Vanita’s experience reminds us that pawnbroking doesn’t have to be complicated—it can be simple, caring, and full of understanding. At Braswell & Son, she found a team that listens, empathizes, and treats her with genuine kindness.

building lasting relationships

Kay found more than just a store—she built a lasting relationship with Amanda at her neighborhood Braswell. Today, she happily recommends us for our quality products, friendly service, and the simple, stress-free experience she can always count on.

 our values

  • We are stronger together. Motivated by balance and care for others, we prioritize the well-being of our neighbors, customers, and team. Community isn’t just where we work—it’s who we serve, support, and grow with, creating a meaningful impact that lasts.

  • Trust is at the heart of every relationship we build. With honesty, fairness, and transparency guiding our actions, we create lasting connections with our customers, partners, and team members. Integrity is more than a value—it’s a promise we keep every single day.
