Overview[]
$500 Joint
These small stores purchase random goods from the locals and then sell them at a higher price to generate $$ Clean money.
They cost $500 to build; you'll need a vacant joint.
Competition & Relations[]
Building a pawn shop usually lowers relations with a local Crime Lord.
There are no criminal or independent pawn shops.
The enemy gang will establish pawn shops, and they are high priority targets due to their ability to produce firearms which the enemy needs to do drive-by shootings.
Consumption & Production[]
Pawn Shops consume second-hand and stolen goods from locals (this is automatic, you don't have to produce these yourself).
They produce small amounts of clean money several times a day.
The "No Questions Asked" upgrade will cause them to also produce at least 5 firearms a day.
Buffs[]
