Fiesta Mall May Be Gone, But We’re Still Right Here
If you’ve lived in the East Valley for any length of time, you know where Fiesta Mall is — or was. It’s still one of the easiest landmarks to use when giving directions in this part of Mesa, even if the mall itself has been closed for years. We’re located on South Alma School Road, just north of that site, which puts us in a convenient spot for anyone coming from Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, or Apache Junction.
A Local Shop Since 2008
Alma School Pawn & Gold has been part of this neighborhood for a long time. We’re not a chain — just a local Mesa pawn shop where you deal with real people who know what they’re looking at and treat you fairly. Over the years we’ve built a lot of repeat customers from across the East Valley, and we think that says more about how we operate than anything else.
Selling or Pawning Your Valuables
If you’ve got jewelry, electronics, tools, or other items sitting around that you’re not using, it’s worth finding out what they’re actually worth. Bring them in and we’ll take a look. Our evaluations are done on the spot — no appointment needed, no pressure to commit.
From there you’ve got two options:
If you want to sell outright, we make you an offer and you walk out with cash the same day.
If you’d rather keep your options open, a pawn loan lets you use your items as collateral to get cash now, with the ability to come back and reclaim them once the loan is paid off.
How Our Loans Work
Loans run on a 90-day schedule with monthly payments. Each payment covers the interest due, and you’re always welcome to put more toward the principal if you want to pay it down faster. Pay it off early and there’s no penalty — and because interest is calculated in tiers, paying ahead of schedule can reduce what you owe overall.
Life happens, and we get that. If a month comes where the full payment isn’t doable, just cover the interest and the loan stays in good standing. It carries over without issue and we move forward from there.
Every loan is a little different, so the best way to know exactly what applies to your situation is to give us a call or stop by. We’re happy to walk through it with you.
Gold and Jewelry Evaluations
We buy gold, silver, and jewelry on a regular basis. To make sure our evaluations are accurate, we test gold using both acid testing and Sigma Metalytics equipment — so what we offer reflects what you actually have, not an estimate.
Not sure if something is worth bringing in? Bring it anyway. It costs nothing to find out.
Easy to Get To
We’re on South Alma School Road just north of the old Fiesta Mall site — a familiar spot for anyone who’s spent time in this part of the Valley. Whether you’re coming from Gilbert, Chandler, Apache Junction, or right here in Mesa, we’re a straightforward drive and worth the stop.
Come see us — we’ll take good care of you.
