All About the Family


Pawn Stars is all about a family business located in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Richard ‘Old Man’ Harrison established the 24-hour pawnshop in 1989 with his son, Rick Harrison.  The father and son team first put up the business Gold & Silver Coin Shop in a much smaller store, then relocated and opened the now famous Gold & Silver Pawnshop.  Rick’s son, Corey ‘Big Hoss’ Harrison, also helps, making the pawnshop a family business.  When the History Channel picked up the show pitched to them, that would feature the Harrison’s pawnshop business, a fourth member was required so they included Corey’s best friend, Austin ‘Chumlee’ Russell, in the cast.
