Established in 1982, A-One Pawnbroker has been a cornerstone of the Deerfield Beach community for over 40 years. Founded by Arnold Briglia, a retired policeman from Bridgeport, Connecticut, our pawnshop has always been rooted in fair, honest dealings and a commitment to helping those in need.
Arnold Briglia opened The Pawnbroker on Hillsboro Boulevard with a simple philosophy: to treat customers fairly and with respect. His reputation for honesty and trustworthiness quickly spread, and in 1988, he relocated the shop to 408 South Powerline Road in Deerfield Beach.
Arnold ran the business alongside his son Michael, and together they built a shop known not just for offering great value, but for being a lifeline to customers in tough financial situations. From providing instant cash loans to selling fine jewelry, electronics, and other valuables at a fraction of retail prices, A-One Pawnbroker has always put the needs of its customers first.
Today, the store is run by Arnold's nephew, Ron, who continues the family tradition of fair and honest service. Ron has carried forward the same values that made The Pawnbroker a success, ensuring that every customer who walks through the door receives the same level of care and respect.
Under Ron's leadership, A-One Pawnbroker remains dedicated to providing free jewelry appraisals and jewelry repair services, as well as buying and selling gold, silver, diamonds, and precious stones. We also resell a wide variety of items, including antique jewelry, watches, cameras, musical instruments, stereo equipment, and athletic goods, offering great deals for buyers and sellers alike.
At A-One Pawnbroker, our mission is simple: to help our community by offering fair deals, whether you're pawning, buying, or selling. We understand that life can present financial challenges, and we are here to offer quick solutions through honest transactions.
Our loyal customers know they can count on us for fair appraisals and affordable prices. Whether you need a short-term loan, want to sell your valuables, or are looking for a great deal on high-quality goods, A-One Pawnbroker is here for you.
Arnold Briglia attributes much of The Pawnbroker's success to his fair and honest approach to dealing with customers.
"I have a reputation for being fair with people and honest", said Briglia, who owns and operates the shop along with his son Michael. "That's why they keep coming back."
Arnold, a retired policeman from Bridgeport, Connecticut, operated from a store on Hillsboro Boulevard before relocating to 408 South Powerline Road in Deerfield Beach.
"There's nothing like this business", said Briglia. You can always go to the pawnshop and get instant cash. The exchange is there for your jewelry and other items of value no matter where you are in the world. If you get stranded, it can help."
The Pawnbroker resells fine and antique jewelry, watches, stereo equipment, cameras, TV sets, musical instruments, and athletic goods at a fraction of the retail price. The Briglias also buy and sell gold and silver jewelry by weight as well as diamonds and precious stones. Jewelry appraisal is free, and jewelry repair is available.
The Pawnbroker attracts a wide range of customers. People from all professions sell jewelry rather than spend wasted time and money on advertising. Engaged couples buy wedding rings. Parents buy musical instruments for their kids.
Arnold, who became a pawnbroker because he likes to stay busy, takes great pride in being able to help those in need.
"This is the type of business where I can help someone about to have his phone shut off or in need of groceries, get a loan he can't get anywhere else," said Briglia
