Rick Harrison Biography:
Richard Kevin Harrison was born in Lexington, North Carolina on March 22, 1965, to Richard Benjamin Harrison Jr. and Joanne Harrison. Richard is the third child.
He had an older sister Sherry who died when she was six and has an older brother Joseph and a younger brother Chris.
Rick Harrison father is a veteran of the U.S. Navy. When Rick was two years old, his father was transferred to San Diego and the family relocated. Rick Harrison had epileptic seizures starting at age eight. As this often confined him to bed, it led to a lifelong love of reading for Harrison.
Rick Harrison attended Taft Middle School in San Diego but dropped out to pursue his “$2,000-a-week business of selling fake Gucci bags.” The Harrison family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, in April 1981.
Rick Harrison Career:
Once the family settled in Las Vegas, Harrison’s father opened his first secondhand store in 1981. The original Gold & Silver Coin Shop was a 300-square foot hole in the wall on Las Vegas Boulevard. Rick Harrison worked in his father’s store during the daytime. At night, Rick repossessed cars. In 1986, the store moved to a larger space in downtown Las Vegas.
But, in 1988, the Harrisons lost their lease on that space.They then moved the store to a new commercial building on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Rick Harrison and his father had talked for years about converting the coin shop into a pawnshop.This wasn’t that easy to do however, due to a Las Vegas law that required the issuing of new licenses for pawn shops to be limited based on the city’s population.
By 1988, Las Vegas had a population of over 640,000 in the greater metro area. Harrison called the city’s statistician every week so that they could apply for one of the city’s rare and coveted pawn licenses as soon as the population of Las Vegas hit the next benchmark that opened up those licenses.
That happened the following year in 1989 and the Harrisons were granted their pawn license. The same year Harrison and his dad opened the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop near to Las Vegas Strip. Rick Harrison and his dad were loaning out roughly $3 million each year by 2005.
This made the Harrisons about $700,000 in income from the interest on the loans. By 2006, the pawnshop became well known for selling unique sports memorabilia. It was also a haven for gamblers who find themselves in need of pawning something to buy gas to drive back to their destination.
Rick Harrison spent years pitching the idea of a TV show about his pawnshop after his store became the subject of a 2001 PBS documentary and was shown on the popular Comedy Central show Insomniac with Dave Attell in 2003.
The idea kicked around HBO and YouTube before the History Channel came calling and developed the concept into the Pawn Stars that we know today as the highest-rated show on the History Channel. Pawn Stars debuted in July 2009 and as of June 2020, has run for 17 seasons and 577 episodes.
Pawn Stars is the number one most popular show on The History Channel. The show is so popular that History renews the series in batches of 80 episodes, which is unique for any television show, let alone a reality series.
Today Rick Harrison’s son Corey Harrison also works in the store and is seen on the show along with childhood best friend Austin “Chumlee” Russell. Rick’s nickname on the show is “The Spotter” because of his keen eye for undervalued items.
