Tikino

Tikino Pawn & Gun was founded in 2011 by Kim Noll, who took over Larry's Pawn from his long-time friend and community pillar, Larry Schumacher. When Kim tragically passed in 2015 after a brief battle with cancer, his son Robin moved from Orlando to Dade City to manage the business, ensuring its continuity. Together with his mother Tina, they formed a new LLC, and in 2016, moved Tikino Pawn & Gun to its current location on US Highway 301. Now, Robin carries on the family legacy, maintaining their commitment to top-notch customer service and community involvement.

Tikino Pawn & Gun specializes in offering short-term cash loans against a variety of valuable items, making it a trusted resource for the local community. The store also serves as a retail hub, selling a wide range of items such as firearms, jewelry, electronics, musical instruments, and tools. As a licensed firearms dealer, Tikino Pawn & Gun provides a comprehensive array of services, including collateral loans, trades, purchases, sales, and transfers. In addition, they offer some of the highest rates for precious metals and jewelry in the area, ensuring customers get the most value for their items.

Tikino Pawn & Gun is also equipped to handle more unique forms of collateral, including vehicles like cars, trucks, boats, trailers, and RVs, provided the necessary documentation is in order. With a large fenced-in lot, they can safely store these larger items, offering even more flexibility for customers in need of cash loans.

At the heart of Tikino Pawn & Gun's operation is the concept of pawnbroking—a practice that dates back over 3,000 years to ancient China. The process remains largely the same: individuals pledge an item of value in exchange for a loan. If the loan is repaid within the agreed timeframe, the item is returned. If not, the pawnbroker takes ownership of the item and can sell it to recover the loan. This method of lending offers a significant advantage over traditional loans—there’s no impact on credit scores, no extensive paperwork, and no wage garnishment, making it a quick and hassle-free option for those in need of financial assistance.

Tikino Pawn & Gun is committed to making this process as smooth and straightforward as possible. With Robin at the helm, the business continues to thrive, upholding the values of trust, fairness, and community that his father, Kim, instilled from the very beginning. Whether you’re in need of a quick loan, looking for a great deal on a wide range of items, or seeking expert advice on firearms and jewelry, Tikino Pawn & Gun is here to serve you.
