Rick Harrison Career

Career

The Gold & Silver Coin Shop, Harrison's father's first 300-square-foot secondhand store, opened on Las Vegas Boulevard South in 1981. Harrison worked for his father in the daytime, but repossessing cars at night was a nighttime pastime. The store was relocated to a larger Fremont Street location after five years. The Harrisons' lease was void after two years at that address. They later relocated to a new building on Las Vegas Boulevard in a commercial district. Harrison relates in his autobiography that he and his father had long wished to turn the store into a pawn shop, calling it a "logical progression." Harrison called the city statistician every week so that they could apply for a rare and highly coveted pawn license as soon as the city's population hit 250,000. The city's population reached that number by 1989, and the Harrisons obtained their pawn license after some court dramas. The Gold & Silver Pawn Shop opened less than two miles from the Las Vegas Strip last year. Harrison and his father were loaning out about $3 million per year, totaling $700,000.000 in interest income.

By 2006, the shop had a reputation for selling rare sports items with a rich past, including a 2001 New England Patriots Super Bowl ring that belonged to American football cornerback Brock Williams. It also helped gamblers return to "pawn something" so they could get gas to get back home, according to Harrison's son Corey.

Jewelry was the most commonly carried into the store in 2010, according to Harrison. Harrison's inventory has a 5% pawned per 12,000.

After his shop was featured in the show Insomniac with Dave Attell in 2003, Harrison spent four years pitching the possibility of staging a show about a pawn shop. Brent Montgomery and Colby Gaines of Leftfield Pictures came up with an idea for a reality show based in a Las Vegas pawn shop and approached Harrison in 2008. The series was first presented to HBO, but the network preferred that the film be seen as a Taxicab Confessions-style series at the Gold & Silver's night window. Corey Harrison promised to shoot down an attacker with a handgun he displayed, and a woman screamed as she was booted from the store after demanding that the wedding ring her husband bought to the store be returned.

The History Channel's Nancy Dubuc modified the style, which included on-camera experts appraising the products' inclusion into the Gold & Silver, as well as the store's personality. The group was initially called Pawning History, but Pawn Stars was renamed at the suggestion of a Leftfield employee, playing off the word porn stars for greater marketing success. Harrison and his father, Richard Harrison (also known as "The Old Man"), are on the show, as well as his son Corey ("Big Hoss") and Corey "Chumlee" Russell, Corey's childhood friend and employee Austin "Chumlee" Russell. During the fifteenth season of production, Richard Harrison died in June 2018. The National Pawnbrokers Association honoured Harrison with the Pawnbroker of the Year Award in 2010 for his efforts in enlightening the public about the pawn industry.

Pawn Stars was the second-most rated reality show behind Jersey Shore in January 2011 and was the highest rated program on the History Channel. On June 7, 2011, Harrison released License to Pawn: Transactions, Steals, and My Life at the Gold & Silver. His novel reached No. 1 in the world. On June 26, 2011, the New York Times Best Seller list had 22 places.

In "i Lost My Head in Vegas," the American TV series iCarly's November 3, 2012 episode, Harrison appeared as himself, as well as his son Corey and Chumlee. In "The Safe," the November 7, 2012 episode of the TV show "The Middle," he appeared as an antique store owner four days later.

Harrison became the spokesperson for the Micro Touch One Razor, a personal care shaving service for men, in January 2014. Harrison appeared in a television commercial promoting the One Razor product line. History launched United Stuff of America in June 2014, a collection of Pawn Stars' creations that focuses on significant historical events, such as the cane with which Andrew Jackson fended off a presidential assassination attempt, Abraham Lincoln's used as a young rail splitter, and the pencils Ulysses S. Grant used to write his memoirs. The game show Pawnography premiered on the History Channel in July 2014, in which Harrison, Corey, and Chumlee compete against players in an attempt to keep them from winning cash and treasured items from the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop's stock.
