Gainesville eases pawnshop restrictions
Placeholder Image
Gainesville City Council has given its nod to easing restrictions on where pawnshops can be located after a second reading and final vote Tuesday. The council voted 4-2 on April 1 to amend an ordinance that had required pawnshops to be separated by 2,500 feet. The vote came after Title Max had been prohibited from opening a new location at 719 Jesse Jewell Parkway SW because Georgia Auto Pawn already operates directly across the street.
