FirstCash Holdings, Inc. is an American pawnshop company headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas which operates retail pawn stores in the U.S. and Latin America.
Jack Daugherty founded Cash America in 1983 (possibly 1984),[3] after prior experience running a pawn shop and a failed venture hunting for oil.
[7][12] A court dismissed the claim in October 2012, as First Cash had already disclosed the existence of the buyback program, if not its timing, and ruled that Powell's knowledge and actions did not rise to the standard of material nonpublic information.
[13] In November 2021, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against FirstCash and its subsidiary, Cash America West, for alleged violations of the Military Lending Act and a 2013 CFPB order against the same.
[14] In September 2022, the company paid $379,125.73 to 253 workers in Seattle, Washington, in order to settle claims that it violated the city's minimum wage, break time, and leave laws.
