Elite Pawn is so focused on making customers feel comfortable, it expanded its space by nearly 6,500 square feet since opening in August 1996. Originally a 1,500 square foot space on Covington Highway, Elite Pawn moved into its third location in August, taking up 8,000 square feet of what used to be a rental company at 2235 Sigman Road. The speed of the store's growth shouldn't come as a surprise considering how fast owner Kevin Smith decided to get into the business.
