At 10,200 square feet, Long’s Pawn and Jewelry occupies one of the larger pawn shop footprints in the Winston-Salem area, filling its Germanton Road location with a genuinely wide spread of merchandise rather than the cramped, jewelry-case-only feel some pawn shops settle for. The business sits at 5272 Germanton Road on the north side of Winston-Salem, positioned to draw not just city customers but shoppers from Bethania, Kernersville, Pinnacle, Rural Hall, and Walkertown, the smaller Forsyth County communities that ring the city and often look to a well-stocked pawn shop for both buying deals and quick cash options.
Jewelry anchors the inventory, spanning diamonds, watches, rings, necklaces, and bracelets alongside straightforward gold and silver bullion and scrap purchases, and the shop runs the classic pawn shop dual function on that front: customers can sell outright, or pawn a piece as collateral for a short-term cash loan without a credit check, then reclaim it once the loan is repaid. That no-credit-check structure is the core appeal of a pawn loan versus a bank loan or credit card, giving customers fast cash against something they own rather than a debt tied to their credit history.
Beyond jewelry, the floor spreads into electronics such as televisions, computers, and gaming systems, a full lineup of hand and power tools, sporting goods, musical instruments, and a firearms and ammunition department, giving the shop a genuine general-pawn character where a customer might come in shopping for a guitar and leave having also browsed power drills and flat-screen TVs. That range is a big part of what the 10,200 square feet actually buys the business: room to display categories that a smaller pawn shop would have to skip.
Accessibility is built into how the shop operates day to day. Long’s advertises that its phone line and a separate text number are both staffed around the clock, a convenience aimed at customers who need to ask about a loan, check on an item, or confirm current buying policy outside of standard retail hours before making the trip out to Germanton Road. Current promotions have included a straightforward twenty percent discount on gold and diamond jewelry purchases of two hundred dollars or more, the kind of periodic deal that rewards shoppers who follow the store’s Facebook and Instagram pages for updates on pricing and new arrivals.
For Forsyth County shoppers comparing pawn shops on sheer selection, Long’s Pawn and Jewelry’s Germanton Road location stands out simply on square footage and category breadth, covering jewelry, precious metals, electronics, tools, sporting goods, musical instruments, and firearms under one roof, with pawn loans available on qualifying items without a credit check. Whether the goal is a discounted diamond ring, a quick loan against a piece of jewelry, or a secondhand power tool at a fraction of retail, Long’s Pawn and Jewelry gives Winston-Salem and its surrounding towns a single, large-format stop for both buying and borrowing.
