Pioneer Jewellery & Loan

Originally from Saskatchewan, Kelly Buryniuk moved to Edmonton when he was a young boy. He's developed a lot of retail experience over the years, specifically through working with his mother and father operating a furniture store run in Beverly for many years. Noting the changing times, Kelly transformed his furniture store into a pawn shop to meet his customers' evolving needs. “I noticed that my customers had changed their buying patterns; in some instances they needed my help,” says Kelly.

With Pioneer Jewellery & Loan, he wanted to create a different kind of pawn shop – one built upon great customer service that goes beyond the basics of doing business. “There is no reason why the shopping experience cannot be improved for my customers,” he says. “Many of them have hardships and need my service.”
