AJ's is a family owned and operated business that has been in operation for almost fifty years. The local community has trusted AJ's for a long time to handle short term loans, purchase their firearms ammunition, and pick up their music supplies.

We purchased AJ's twelve years ago from the founding owner and have made wonderful relationships since then. The most important strength for AJ's is the wonderful region in which we are located. I cannot brag highly enough of this place and the people here. Folks in North Mississippi are just wonderful.

AJ's status as a community fixture has allowed us to weather some of my own flaws as someone learning how to run a business as well as providing us a solid defense against the 2020 nonesense that hurt so many small businesses.

Whether you specifically want to run a pawn shop or are looking for an established small business in general, this is an excellent place to come and create a store personality that blends the store needs with your character. It will be something you truly will love to watch develop.

I run a typical mom-and-pop, so there is huge potential to modernize and marry the old comfortable ways with more technology to grow potential and bring in different clientele. I don't do any online selling. I don't do any social media. I don't run a website. I have left all of that growth potential for you.
