Meet someone who believes luxury belongs in Fort Smith, and the spotlight belongs on everyone but himself.

Nick Maestri is the force behind Superior Pawn & Jewelry, the luxury store that's turned Fort Smith into a destination for fine jewelry, watches, and one-of-a-kind finds that people drive in from across the country to see. He opened in 2015 with a single dream—to bring this city luxury as it had never known. He'd grown up on shows like Pawn Stars, but that was never the whole story; he just knew Fort Smith needed something higher-end and one of a kind. What set Superior apart was the part most pawn shops skip—he got on social media. He stayed consistent, crediting Larry and a chance conversation with Joey, who showed up to talk Google Maps and left, shooting videos a few times a week. Two years sober and still climbing, Nick built it the hard way—and from the custom ring you've dreamt of to the watch you deserve, he takes care of you every step. 💎

Off the clock, Nick eats his way through town—Thai curry, the patio at Doe’s Eat Place Fort Smith, Peking Palace and Sh**un Steakhouse on Rogers, and Blupoint Seafood & Steak, with La Huerta Grill on Garrison as his daughter's pick. He's the first to point the spotlight back at the community he loves, the friendliest people around, he says, and he's got zero patience for "there's nothing to do here." Catch a show at Peacemaker Festival, where Ella Langley, Zach Bryan, and The Red Clay Strays have all played, and if you can't swing a ticket, Nick says he'll buy you one. No excuses🎟️
