Sharp’s Pawn Shop opened its second location in Ponca City, Oklahoma in 1989 by then owners Dewight and Mary Pruett. In 1992 our second owners, Leon and Judy Smith purchased the business.

Expanding its product line to carry everything one may need to make regalia both Northern and Southern styles, all while keeping the largest selection available of quality ready-made Southern style regalia in store. We now have in stock the largest selection of Pendleton Woolen Mills blankets, accessories, men’s and ladies professional wear in the tri-state area. At Sharp’s Indian Store, we strive every day to carry quality, handmade regalia and beadwork. We enjoy making new friends, trading and sharing Oklahoma’s rich Native American Culture, and have thoroughly enjoyed providing goods to help keep that culture alive. Over the years we have had the privilege of watching children grow and help dressing yet another generation to enter the dance arena. If you are ever traveling Interstate 35 in Oklahoma, take a break, turn off on the “214 Tonkawa and Ponca City exit” for a short 15-minute drive to our shop. Our website will give you an idea of the beautiful and authentic handmade crafts that we have on hand at any time. We welcome you to come in an take a look in person and say hello!
