As we all know Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote and performed the theme music for the show from the fourth season.
What most people won’t know is that the band actually went to Las Vegas to meet the cast and crew, they also performed an impromptu gig just outside the store, in the parking lot
Was Olivia Black Fired?
Olivia Black began working the night shift during season five, but soon after, it became know that she had done a bare-skinned photoshoot for the website 'Suicide Girls' and was quickly taken out of the show.
It was only the network that had an issue with her photoshoot and not Rick or anyone at the store. Even after the show, Black kept working at the store before resigning on her own.
Sued for Melting Antique Coins
There is nothing illegal about melting gold, even if the gold happens to be antique items like coins or jewelry. What is unlawful is melting stolen gold coins. Back in 2014 a woman brought in a gold coin collection and had the guys melt it all.
As it turns out, the coins had actually been stolen and the original owner claimed that the collection was worth $50, 000 and sued the store.
Pawn Plaza
Rick decided to expand his business as the store was doing so well and was receiving a large number of customers. He opened the Pawn Plaza nearby, which is mostly built from shipping containers and houses a variety of shops and eateries.
They had high expectations for their new venture but four of their stores had to close in 2016.
Rick Harrison is something of a bookworm
Rick is also interested in cars and has his own car collection which isn't as surprising, but what we didn't know is that he is also an avid reader!
Rick is exceptionally well-read and has a refined taste when it comes to literature, much more than we expected from a pawnbroker.
