About Nicol Street Pawnbrokers
If you’re like most people, you’re probably wondering what a pawnshop does exactly. What services they can provide you. What products you can find in one and what separates one from the other.
We were just like you back in 1993 when the store opened its doors one cold November morning, at 124 Nicol Street, Nanaimo, British Columbia. At the time we didn’t know what made a pawnshop great, but learned right away what a diverse and unique business a pawnshop truly is. Through almost twenty years of operation, we realized pretty quickly that one of the most important members of a family business no matter what it is, is you, the customer.
At Nicol Street Pawnbrokers our staff will provide you with level of personal customer service you won’t experience in any box store or traditional department store. A promise from one family to another.
You’ll find a huge selection of new and used Jewellery, Musical Instruments, Tools, Home Electronics and most recently Paintball Equipment. We offer Jewellery repairs, Appraisals, Guitar repairs and tune ups, and we are authorized dealers for Tippmann and BT two of the biggest names in Paintball.
Whether you’re looking for a quick confidential loan for that unexpected bill, or just an evening on the town, or browsing our huge selection of new and used merchandise, we know that like most first time customers, you’ll be come long time customers, because at NSP we are more than a Pawnshop.
We are located in beautiful downtown Nanaimo, British Columbia and are open seven days per week (except Holidays).
