2014

Who says development isn’t happening by the Events Center?

To tell you the truth, like most things ‘Chuck’ I will be surprised if this place gets built;

Today, it was announced that Sioux Falls will be home to a new business and entertainment attraction.

Chuck Brennan, the founder of Dollar Loan Center and the Brennan Rock & Roll Academy, announced plans for Badlands Pawn, Gold & Jewelry.

The new venture is a $15 million, 40,000 square foot business that is scheduled to be open by Thanksgiving, 2015. It will be located near the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center.

The business will include:

  • The largest pawn shop in the Midwest
  • 24-hour, live FM radio station called the Badlands Radio Network
  • An in-house mint that will make Badlands-branded gold and silver
  • A gun shop with shooting range
  • Tattoo parlor
  • House band led by Ron Keel
  • Concert stage for guest to tryout gear
  • Entertainment Agency
  • Ticket broker

Yes, all things we need more of in Sioux Falls. Thanks for the laugh Chuck.
