Yankee Pedler & Pawn

Yankee Peddler & Pawn opened in 1994 in New London and is locally owned and run in Connecticut. The business now operates three stores in New London, Groton and East Hartford. It buys, sells and loans on jewelry, gold, tools, electronics, musical instruments and video games, and it sells items in its showroom.

Customers can sell items for cash the same day or pawn them and reclaim them after repaying the loan. Gold is tested for karat purity, diamonds are graded by a GIA-certified grader, and pawn transactions are kept confidential. The business is a member of the Connecticut Association of Pawnbrokers and the National Pawnbrokers Association, and it serves customers across Connecticut.
