Twin Cities Trading Post

Twin Cities Trading Post in Chehalis, WA is dedicated to the community like no other pawn store.  We are the pawn store that wants to be associated with a man named Nicholas.

Who is this Nicholas and what does he have to do with a pawn store in Chehalis, WA?
As it turns out Nicholas is a very famous individual.

During his time period a dowry was expected to be paid by a young lady’s father or she stood little chance of being married. In fact, an unmarried woman was most likely to become a slave. Needless to say, this was a very worrisome situation for a man of modest means with three daughters who lived in Nicholas’s community.  The distraught father, who was known to Nicholas, went to sleep one evening deeply concerned about his daughters’ plight. Miraculously, when the father woke in the morning to find a bag of gold had been thrown through an open window. To the father’s amazement the miracle was repeated on two more nights. Someone in the community had saved the unfortunate father’s daughters. This miracle had come from Nicholas who was actually Bishop Nicholas later to become St. Nicholas. It turns out that St. Nicholas is the patron saint of pawnbrokers and known to many in our era as Santa Claus.

Now, Twin Cities Trading Post has no ambitions or illusions of reaching sainthood but we do intend to be of assistance to our community. The community involvement is initiated through a pawn store like you’ve never seen.

Twin Cities Trading Post stresses great customer service and making prudent decisions.

Most people are not familiar with the nuts and bolts of a pawn store and imagine a dark place. Granted there are still some of those old school pawn shops around but they are a dying breed. Twin Cities Trading Post is one of the few and new breed of pawn store. Envision a bright and very clean location staffed by genuine, polite, and intelligent people. This is a team that understands the new pawn fundamentals. Imagine an organization that masters this handful of things:

• Great – not good – Great Customer Service.
• Doing the right things for the right reasons.
• Trying to find ways to say “Yes!” not “No.”
• Keep it clean, bright and family orientated.

At this point you are probably asking – How can Twin Cities Trading Post, a pawn store, have a positive impact on the community?

A huge part of Twin Cities Trading Post is offering second hand merchandise at an excellent value. Part of the mission is to save the customer money by offering a better value than new retail pricing. This is the connection for non-profit organizations – consignment. Many of us have extra items of value around the house and a desire to help others in the community. Twin Cities Trading Post will sell these items for approved non-profit groups without a commission.

• 100% of all revenue from items that groups bring in will go into their accounts.

Twin Cities Trading Post has a listing of the approved non-profits and assists in promoting them. Individuals can even come in to use our community support center and select a non-profit organization off of the listing for the proceeds to benefit.

Historically, at trading posts folks expect to find excellent values and they will at Twin Cities Trading Post.
If it was just a pawn shop we wouldn’t have established Twin Cities Trading Post. We’re truly very excited about this unique store. Working intelligently and compassionately to leave a positive foot print in our community.
Hopefully – We’ve gotten you curious at the very least.  Twin Cities Trading Post will do some real good here and have fun along the way. My objective is to build a legacy that will make my daughter – my family – our community proud.

We look forward to hearing any and all input/questions from you. Please, email them to help@tctradingpost.com or call (360) 996-4259.
