Nottingham shoppers have said the opening of a new Cash Generator in the city centre is a "sign of the times". As a result of the cost-of-living crisis, many people have changed their shopping habits and are taking to pawn shops.
At the new Cash Generator on Angel Row, shoppers can buy or sell electrical items such as phones, tablets, laptops and consoles. Products like gold and silver jewellery, bikes and musical instruments can also be bought or sold.
The new shop has an in-store reserve service up until Christmas where customers can reserve an item with a small deposit and pay over three months. It is interest free and no credit check is required as the item stays with the store until the full balance has been paid.
