Loyalty Pawn Family

Greetings Loyalty Pawn Family,

I can’t believe the holidays are among us! I don’t know you, but this year has flown by. What great training we all got from our friends from ICG Greg Weiss. I love how hands on you get to be with the diamonds as far as measuring and testing your skills on grading diamonds. I can’t wait to see all of you put your skills to work for the holidays so we can move all our new jewelry that the company has provided. October was a fun month with new team members joining the family and stores being creative with decorating their stores. Another great change that we are implementing to my schedule is changing up the rotation of our Loyalty Walks. As you all have seen now, I will be going around visiting every store every week. I am excited to see some the changes of direction we are going with this and the sense of urgency this provides. I read a quote that goes with what we’ve been saying on our meetings by Jim Rohn it says, “without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value”. Let’s treat all of our goals with a sense of urgency and let’s crush all of our November goals! This month we are going to get to know Marcos Barragan from Florin Mall Dr. He has been in the Pawn industry for 10 years. He loves this industry because as nice of a guy that Marcos is, he can really make a difference when someone is going through a hardship like some of our clients. Marcos was born at Sutter memorial in downtown Sacramento, but he was raised out in the country Clarksburg California on the other side of the river in Yolo County. Some of his best memories was always going fishing with his grandfather Jesus. Marcos is the second oldest of 5 boys no girls just like you imagine growing up with 5 boys it was total was mayhem fighting, wrestling, and just all-around horse playing. As I can relate from experience, we should all feel sorry and give big props to his mother for raising them. At the age of 8 years old Marcos and his family moved back to the city because a better opportunity that his father got with a job. He worked in the fields where he would pick and cut produce. He has done everything from corn to berries. Working for a few years there gave him the opportunity to buy his family a house. When they moved into that house it opened opportunities for Marcos and his brothers to get involved with sports. That was the time where he got introduced to the beautiful sport of futbol not soccer. From a very young age he realized he was better than most of the other children he played with. His future in the sport looked very promising until he got to the age of 17 when he met his soon to be future baby momma Rachel and his main focus started to shift as well. At the age of 19 he had to put his dream of being the next Messi on hold because he found out he was going to be a father. Soccer has always been his passion and still plays on teams on his time off. Now even his son Joshua is following in his footsteps and plays on a team. Marcos has always been an advocate of one of our core values in being creative. Another one of his hobbies is he like to partake in the Tonsorial art or in other words barbering. He’s a really good barber an actually even practices on himself cutting his own hair using mirrors every week. His dreams are to someday own his own barber shop where people can come in and relax and get freshened up. Marcos is once again a father to his daughter Pricilla. She was born July 17th, 2019 weighing in at 8.2lbs and she was 20” long from what we hear from Marcos she loves to sleep. Mother Rachel is doing great with new baby Pricilla. Congratulations to the new parents I know we can’t wait to meet our newest member of the Loyalty family.
