Loyalty Pawn Family

Greetings Loyalty Pawn Family,

This month El Camino did a great job with the new remodel seeing as how we were able to get most of the remodel done in about a 2-day period. The team really came together and worked hard to make sure everything was done on time and with a high level of professionalism. This was a great month for us even with all the work going on, putting up the new slat wall, painting and doing some night work, we were able to perform extremely well and still stay a high performing store with everything. Jonathan and Travis really worked hard and stayed late to make sure we were up and running and the whole crew really kicked butt. We are lucky to have the whole team! If you need anyone to hang ceiling tile come talk to Tyler or Parker because they have become pros at it! I am sure they will love this shout out. Thank you to everyone who came out and we have a great family in this company!

Javi was born in Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico to a family of 7 total including parents and 5 of those family members have worked for the company. He moved to LA when he was 2 years old then moved to Sacramento when he was 13 and started working for Capital City shortly afterward. He got the job because two of his cousins worked for the company already and they needed a hard worker. He would work the summers in between school years but finally made it a real career choice when he turned 18. The first time he ever stepped foot in a pawn shop was his first day on the job. He could not figure out the door and kept pulling on the door until Dan was able to convince him to wait for the doorbell. (he was one of those). Shortly after not being able to figure out the door he got lost in the back warehouse of Old Fruitridge. Also, He was still the same height he is today, so he needed a stool to see over the counter. He has come a long way from that day and, in what he says is one of his biggest professional accomplishments, recently become our new operations manager for the company and he is doing a great job!

Javi has always been someone that likes to see all his hard work become reality and see those seeds become success. He has been an integral part of the success of this company and helped build the foundations of what we see today in the Loyalty Pawn family. Everything from multiple store remodels, to building an entire Wearhouse, to building one of the best teams in the entire company. Javi feels great accomplishment from buying his own house and being one of the only members in his family to do so. He is looking to buy his second house but that is around the corner sometime soon. He enjoys the few hours he has to himself by woodworking and watching movies and TV shows. He claims that Pulp Fiction is his favorite movie and not because of the pawn shop scene. He loves to build with his hands, learning new things through instructional videos and finding solutions to problems that has gone unsolved. If he has the time, he loves doing sudoku and other brain training games like peg jump.

As the new Operations Manager Javi is looking towards the horizon of bigger and better things including more stores, a more prosperous company and work force, a solidified company brand, a strong company culture and being THE pawn shop to come to in all of California. We see nothing but great things coming.
