Celebrating 8 Years of Community & Cash: Queen of Pawns East Hillsborough Anniversary

August is a special month for Queen of Pawns, especially for our flagship East Hillsborough location in Tampa. Opened on August 11, 2018, this store marked our first expansion into Tampa and became a vibrant hub for local shoppers seeking quick, reliable pawn services. Located right in front of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, it’s easy to stop by, browse unique finds, or turn items into fast cash.

Highlighting Local Tampa Talent: The East Hillsborough Mural

At Queen of Pawns, we love to celebrate local artistry and creativity, so we’re spotlighting a bold and beautiful mural created just for this store—by Tampa’s very own Cass Womack. Inspired by industrial architecture and infused with Bauhaus-style geometry, the mural gives our Queen of Pawns store a fresh, modern twist. It’s a visual celebration of Tampa’s creative spirit and our store’s evolving identity.
Don’t miss it—stop in to take a photo or simply admire the artistry in person. (Cass’s full portfolio is viewable at casswomack.com.)
