EZCORP was founded in 1974 by Courtland L. Logue, Jr. when he opened his first pawn store in Austin, Texas.
Logue tried to change the stereotype of pawnshops and located his in middle-income neighborhoods.
In 1989 Morgan Schiff & Co. invested in the company, running it with Logue as the CEO. Two years later Morgan Schiff had become the majority owner and decided to take the company public.
By 1996 EZCORP operated 245 stores in 11 states, including Texas, Colorado, Indiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Florida.
In the 1990’s EZCORP launched www.ezpawn.com, an e-commerce site with 400,000 items for sale.
The company’s pawnshops also make pawn loans, which are typically small loans backed up by property, such as jewelry, electronics, musical instruments, sporting goods, or tools. The majority of these loans have 20% monthly interest, or 240% annual interest.
Today EZCORP has 1,342 locations, consisting of 495 U.S. pawn stores, 7 U.S. buy/sell stores and financial stores, 489 U.S. financial service stores, 239 pawn stores in Mexico, 30 buy/sell and financial service stores in Canada, 19 buy/sell stores in Mexico, and 54 financial services branches in Mexico.
EZCORP operates stores under the names EZPawn and EZMoney. The company has 7,500 employees and had $1.01 billion in revenue in 2013.

I stop at ez pawn in stillwater ok. I have spent a lot of money on tvs, movies, playstations, chain saw, weedeater, ect. I always deal with a young lady named amanda. She is knowlegdeable and cares about her customers. I will not deal with the manager. Hes a jerk. Hes rude to the employees in front of customers and is not even pleasant to the customers. This is who they thought should run this store? He knows almost nothing about the merchandise. I have watched him ask employees how to do things on the computer. If for any reason amanda was to quit or get fired, i will not step foot back in that store. I will take my money and end it at a different pawn shop.

It is a pity that they treat their staff in the way they do, it is unfair to receive inhuman treatment form some Directors
I have received humiliation because of the lack of probity and mismanagement of the administration of resources.
In the past have received the same complaint and far from amending it have dismissed staff who have informed them of this situation.
Debra Frazier says
I have used EZ Pawn by my home in CO for about 3 years. So I trusted them to contact me or text me when my loans would come due or I could lose my item(s). So a couple of months ago, according to them, I had some items come due, and because NOBODY CONTACTED ME, my things were sold. The issue for me is that there were collector ed. movies that were my daughters who passed away 9 years ago. Along with my movie collection, there were other items that were apparently on a second account that I was not aware of that they made. Because the stuff was on this other account, I wasn’t notified by the temp employee who put my stuff out for sale. I will never get the movies back,and I am sick about that, I do feel I should get the same or similar items to replace the other items that I had. You need to contact me as soon as possible.
Joe says
You should look into the ownership of wwww.onestopawnshop.com/
My contacts say a Vidal Hernandez-RDO EZPAWN has significant ownership interests in this pawn shop.
Jen and shaun heckerman says
Hi i pawned almost 20 living dead dolls still in the packages that i paid over a thousand dollars for because they are rare. I just got my home foreclosed and lost everything so that was all i had i could even pawn. I pawned them at the Riverdale Utah store and told the girl how valuable they were and i without a doubt would be getting them back. They only gave me 3or 5 dollars a piece for them saying they wouldn’t be able to sell them if they had to. So i only got about 40dollars for them. The day they were due i didn’t have a vehicle and they never sent any reminders. My husband called on something else we had pawned and found out they were due and the girl said she would hold them for us. I sent to get them and every one of them was gone. I feel that they took complete advantage and lied to me and i think the girl that worked there took them. Please help. I spent so much money on them and they did what they had to to take them from me. Thank you for your help, Jen.
