The team at Longhorn Gold and Silver Exchange has developed a reputation as trustworthy precious metals dealers in McKinney, owner Pete Ramirez said.

“I'm not a fly-by-night place,” Ramirez said. “[Customers] prefer a solid foundation that's been here. They know I'm going to be here tomorrow. They know I'm going to be here next year.”

The details: Longhorn Gold and Silver Exchange offers cash for coins, bouillon, jewelry and other items made of gold, silver, diamonds and platinum. Staff can also help customers determine if items are genuine with an acid test. During the test, staff members rub the metal item onto a testing stone before applying a drop of acid. If the acid does not wash away the deposits of metal on the stone, the material is authentic.

FS8 is now open in south McKinney, a company representative said.

The details: The business offers classes that are a mixture of Pilates and yoga for a full-body workout, according to its website.
