Our Story
PayMore was founded in 2011 in Massapequa, New York, a small close knit community on the southeastern portion of Long Island, Nassau County. We have bought and sold thousands of electronics and have become known as Long Island’s place to buy, sell and trade electronics ever since. Starting with a small storefront in Massapequa, PayMore has now become of national interest and featured in entrepreneur magazine.
In a nutshell, PayMore is an industry leader in the “Cash for Electronics” local pawn shop electronics business. Our custom franchise business model combines emerging industries with personalized support and digital software tools to ensure your small business success.
Join our dynamic community of successful entrepreneurs and collaborative small business owners by becoming a PayMore franchisee!
Franchise Advantage
PayMore locks in customers by offering them store credit to ensure they are kept in the ecosystem. What’s better than having a customer sell you a device which you profit on, then turn around and buy a product from you during the same visit?
Customer Ecosystem
Be exposed to multiple explosive growth industries simultaneously: consumer electronics, e-commerce, pawn, second-hand retail – all the while establishing a “shop local” business involved in your community.
Multiple Revenue
Streams
Positioned as the go-to place to receive cash for electronics, even in the toughest of times. In addition, PayMore retail prices cannot be beat by major big box and e-commerce companies.
Recession-Proof Business
PayMore POS is our backbone software. It manages customers, inventory, purchasing, reporting, ordering, customer profiles, and much more.
Proprietary Tech
Consumers are turning to a “second-hand lifestyle” to not only save money but repurpose electronic devices to keep them out of our landfills.

“I’ve always been somebody who wanted to do my own thing. I knew PayMore would be a good franchise to get involved in because technology is not going away. People are excited because it’s like the new wave of pawn shops - we’re paying top dollar and we’re paying cash on the spot.”
“They're not kidding about paying top dollar for electronics- after going to another store which claimed to pay top dollar, but offered next to nothing, I stopped into PayMore and Mike gave me a more than fair deal for my old iPhone and iPod. Not to mention the process took less than 10 mins and I left with cash in hand. Super friendly staff, honest business practice.”
