Defoor

Dee Defoor- Owner
Mr. Defoor was born in Wichita Falls, TX and has lived in the area most of his life.  After a 17 year stint in the US ARMY, he and his wife returned to Wichita Falls with their 2 daughters.  Nearly 40 years after buying the pawn shop, he continues to enjoy his time in the store; sharing a cup of coffee with his customers and working along side his THREE younger generations.

Robin- daughter and clerk.... she's also the one that writes the checks!
Robin was born in France while her daddy was stationed there.  Through high school and college, she worked at the store regularly.  After obtaining a degree in Speech Pathology, she and her husband moved to Lubbock for three years.  Upon his graduation, Robin and Bret moved back to Wichita Falls with their oldest child.   Robin has been at the store off and on ever since, increasing her time there as her children grew older.

Staci, Todd, Agent and Kaden
Staci is the oldest of Mr. Defoor's grandchildren, and Robin's daughter.  Born in Lubbock and raised in Wichita Falls, she grew up down at the store (people have asked if she's the baby that used to be in the playpen.... and the answer is yes!)  She has a BS in Sociology from MSU, and after a break, is pursuing her Master's Degree.
Todd and Staci met at the store, and he just stuck around.  Raised in Windthorst, Todd is a Registered Nurse in CCU at URHCS. He and Staci were married in 2006.  While he loves it down at the store, he does not get to be there as much as he would like.
 If you have been in the store in the last year and a half, you know Agent!  Staci and Todd's schnauzer/yorkie mix is the guard dog (when he is not insisting on being loved on!)  He has a new reason to be jealous, as Staci and Todd just added the 4th generation to the store in December 2010.
Kaden is Mr. Defoors 1st great-grandbaby and Robin's only grandchild!  He's teething, but is still one of the happiest babies in the entire world!  While his mom is in classes, he holds down the fort and gets spoiled to no end by his great-granddad.

Matthew
Matthew is the youngest of Robin's children.  Born and raised in Wichita Falls, Matt has worked at the store for much of high school and around his college class schedule. After attending Tarleton State University for a year, he moved back home to finish his degree in Farm and Ranch Management/Agribusiness.

Colby
Colby is Todd's little brother.  Raised in Windthorst, he still works on the dairy every other weekend!  Colby has a degree in some computer something or other from Vernon College, but is looking to expand his education; we are so pleased that he has been ACCEPTED to gunsmithing school in Colorado.  While he waits for enrollment, you can find him at the store!
