The real pawn shop looks different
On the Pawn Stars show the shop always seems to be filled to the brim with awesome antiques and artifacts. Viewers can assume that the whole place is packed with cool things to be bought or sold. In real life, that is actually thanks to the angles and lighting.
The shop has some artifacts but also a lot of merchandise. Tourists come to the shop every day looking to buy souvenirs related to the show. So, they sell T-shirts and other merchandise related to Pawn Stars. The antiques are often in the background. We’ve heard that the most sold items are the Chumlee merchandise.
