The business is rooted in a long family history in the Utah pawn industry. In 1984, the founder's father introduced him to an abandoned building at the corner of 6th South and State Street in downtown Salt Lake City and began building what would become Rothchilds Sales & Loan, which grew into Utah's largest and most successful pawn shop chain with five locations. As the eldest brother, the founder managed the West Valley City store from start-up through profitability over fifteen years in the business. After his father's passing and the eventual sale of Rothchilds, he returned to the trade with partners and launched 1st Cash Sales & Loan, applying the same principles that had guided the original chain. The South Salt Lake store operates Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm and can be reached at (801) 461-0279.

The shop sits on South State Street, about two-tenths of a mile from the 3300 South intersection and a similar distance from Mill Creek. Granite Park Junior High School is roughly three-tenths of a mile away, and the South Salt Lake Post Office is nearby as well, along with the Chinese Gate public artwork about four-tenths of a mile from the location.

With a 4.80 rating from its customer base and decades of family experience behind the counter, 1st Cash Pawn & Gun Store carries on a tradition of pawn brokerage that has shaped the Salt Lake City market since the mid-1980s.
