Humble Beginnings
Though the Pawn Stars team are basically celebrities now, it’s important to remember that the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop had humble roots. It started in 1989 as a 24-hour family business.
Richard “Old Man” Harrison first opened the store. Later, his son Rick, grandson Corey, and family friend Chumlee joined. While they’re now superstars, they were originally just regular guys working on their business like anyone else. At least, they were, before they had their own TV show.
