The massive neon sign on the side of the building read "Amscot".

They have found a way to make the "risk" work totally in their favor, in spite of state government professing "outrage" at 300% effective interest rates.

I bet they contribute heavily to political campaigns here.
From their FAQ:

How much does it cost? 10% of the amount advanced, plus a $1 state fee. For example, if you receive a cash advance of $100, you will write a check for $111.00 for us to hold until your next payday.
