Loyalty Pawn Family

Greetings Loyalty family!

I can’t believe we are already in October, where has the year gone? I guess it’s true what they say time flies when you’re busy. As you all know the Broadway team has been working extremely hard to get that store up to date and retail friendly. If you haven’t visited that store in a while you’re definitely in for a treat. As you all know the managers are part of a book club, I must admit I was never really a reader growing up, but after reading a few of these books because of the book club I have gain some great information and tools to better myself. Currently we are reading How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie, so far so good I recommend everyone pick up a copy. This month we are going to get to Know Jonathan Galupe, he is the assistant manager of the El Camino location. His areas of expertise are video gaming system, electronics, shoes, and watches. Jonathan was born September 11th, 1994 in Sacramento and is the oldest of two siblings. Jon has been in the pawn industry since he was 15 years old and now his brother Parker also works here. One of his favorite memories of working at the shop was his first day here. We were hosting a bikini bike wash for breast cancer awareness. Jon was asked what he liked about the industry and working for Loyalty Pawn he said, “I love the interaction between customers and employees, it’s nice to meet people and learn about their lives.” Being born and raised in Sacramento, CA Jon is a diehard Kings, 49ers, and Giants fan. Jon is currently going through his GIA essentials course Jon has many hobbies, if he’s not working on his cars he enjoys playing video games or sports, he loves to travel, and cooking as well. One of his biggest hobbies is traveling. Some of the places Jon has visited are Spain, France, England, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Switzerland, and many parts of the US. He recently returned from Hawaii I asked Jon what does he love about traveling so much? His response was simple “I love trying new foods and experiencing the culture of foreign countries.” Some of the famous places he has visited are the Colosseum, Mt Vesuvius, Leonard De Vinci’s House, Eifel tower, Blarney castle, the Picasso museum, the Mona Lisa, and the list goes on and on. Traveling to all these different places around the world has made Jon into a real aficionado of different cuisines. Jon hopes to open his own restaurant in the future where he can share his past experiences through food. So, if you’re planning your next trip and need some advice I recommend you contact Jon for some guidance chances are he’s been there before. Now that he’s visited Europe who knows where his next destination would be, but he knows it’s most likely going to be somewhere in Asia. Wherever it is I can’t wait to hear of his next adventure.
