SINGAPORE: The only pawnshop at the busy Orchard Road shopping belt has opened.

Targeting young adults, foreigners and tourists, the shop at Lucky Plaza, which is without the usual grilles and high counter, looks more like a jewellery store.

Jewellery company Aspial, which runs the shop, said it decided to go into pawn broking as there is business potential in the industry.

It hopes to transform the image of the pawn broking business with more friendly, approachable and professional service, and offer it as a choice for quick financing.

It also hopes to leverage on its experience and expertise in the jewellery industry to give customers the best valuation in the market for their diamonds and other jewellery.

Aspial said it has chosen to set up the pawnshop at Orchard Road as traffic is high and it wants to expand its customer base. Although rental is higher, it is banking on tourists and a younger crowd to bring in the dollar.
