Plot Synopsis

Minda and Nikki own a pawn shop in Naperville, Illinois that specifically caters to female customers, and they work with their business partners, Greg and Tom, to buy, pawn and sell items. Greg and Tom first opened Naperville Jewelry & Loan in February 2009, and, realizing they needed a woman's perspective for a business targeted at females, they brought on Nikki and Minda, who invested their own money and joined the staff. Even though the shop deals with vintage dolls, antique stoves and diamond rings, it still handles merchandise typical of any other pawn shop. According to its website, Naperville Jewelry & Loan will "buy and loan on gold, silver, jewelry, diamonds, electronics, power tools, musical instruments, computer equipment, antiques, video game systems and games, and much more" and carries a selection of "art, antique furniture, jewelry, sports collectibles, crystal, fine glass, guitars, rare signature items, and much, much more."
