There are moments in life that you work toward for years, and today is one of those moments for me.
Iโm proud to share that National Jewelry is now part of the Discount Jewelry & Loan family.
For a long time, Iโve had a tremendous amount of respect for what the previous owners built. They earned the trust of this community over many years, and I donโt take lightly the responsibility of carrying that forward.
When I bought Discount Jewelry & Loan, my goal wasnโt just to own a pawn shop. It was to build a business that treats people the right way, takes care of its team, and gives back to the community. Bringing these two businesses together is another step toward that vision.
To all of Nationalโs clients, welcome. Some things will change over time, but the most important things wonโt. Youโll still be treated with honesty, respect, and fairness every time you walk through the door.
To the previous owners, thank you for trusting us with something youโve poured so much of your lives into. We appreciate everything youโve done for Shreveport and for the people youโve served.
This is a big day for our family, our team, and our business. We canโt wait to see what the future holds.
Thank you, Shreveport, for believing in us.

Owners, Discount Jewelry & Loan and National Jewelry and Loan
