The
Pawn Stars and the team at Gold & Silver Pawn are pleased to announce they
are now holding autograph sessions with the stars of the show as well as some
of the show's favorite experts as filming allows.
"It
took some serious planning and trial runs but we think we now have a system
that works to allow more fans to meet us and the experts on the show. That was
the one piece missing to a great experience when visiting Gold & Silver
Pawn," said Rick Harrison, owner of Gold & Silver Pawn and star of
Pawn Stars. With more than 4,000 people
a day visiting the small store at 713 South Las Vegas Blvd. and filming taking
place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays year-round, finding space, making it work
for the fans, production and the Pawn Stars was a challenge, but one the team
at Gold & Silver Pawn have overcome.
Autograph
sessions will take place once a day during the week at random times when
filming allows and the Pawn Star or expert signing will depend on the availability
of the individual. Signings will take
place Monday through Friday from January 7 to February 22; March 11 through
April 5; April 22 through May 24; June 3 through 28; September 3 through
October 11; November 1 through 22 and December 2 through 20.
Theo
Spyer, manager of the store, explains, "Obviously production of the show
comes first and is not always predictable, so we will fit the signings in
between those times, which is why we cannot set a firm schedule.” When a Pawn Star is signing, 100% percent of
all merchandise purchased for their signatures will go to charity and the fans
will be able to meet the Pawn Star and take photos at that time as well. When an expert is signing there will also be
a charitable component attached to their session. Saturday autograph signings will also be
added at a later time as the schedules of the stars and experts allow, due to
no filming on weekends, those times may be scheduled in advance and announced
if possible.
In
the trial runs held over the last month, fans have been excited and pleased to
meet the stars and experts. Austin
"Chumlee" Russell adds, "We knew we needed to find a way to
engage with our fans more completely and I’m glad we found the right
opportunity to add it into their experience.
I find meeting all the people and making their visit to Gold &
Silver Pawn cooler is a great addition to their overall experience at the
store. The fans love that we allow them
to help us give to charity, too."
Gold
& Silver Pawn is open 24 hours a day and year-round. The store is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily
and the night window is open from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. Located on the famous Las Vegas Strip in
downtown, Gold & Silver Pawn is home to the show “Pawn Stars” and owned by
three generations of the Harrison family (Rick, son Corey and dad Richard).
