Who We Are

Pelican Pawn and Jewelry is a family owned and operated company that has been in business since 1992, over 30 years. Pelican Pawn was started in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1992 by James Boring and has been passed down generation to generation. We are now a 3rd generation family-owned, women-owned and veteran-owned business. We consider excellent customer service to be the cornerstone of Pelican Pawn’s success. As both a lender and retailer we understand that we serve the financial and shopping needs of our local community which we take very seriously. We have always been willing to negotiate on both pawn loans and inventory prices in order for our customers to get the best experience possible. It is a shared value at our stores that coming to Pelican Pawn is not just a transaction, it’s an experience. Our customers bring smiles to our face every day and we make it a priority to do the same for them. We currently own and operate 5 locations in Baton Rouge, Gonzales and Denham Springs, Louisiana: Mid City, Sherwood and Gardere in Baton Rouge, plus one store each in Gonzales and Denham Springs.
