Sioux Falls, SD (KELO-AM) The first renderings for the $15 million Badlands Pawn Project in Sioux Falls have been released. Think Mad Max Post Apocalyptic!
Developer Chuck Brennan, owner of Dollar Loan Centers, says the California-based Brass Junkie Company created a design that includes an Alcatraz-like prison tower and a heli-pad with a Badlands' Sheriff helicopter on top of the 55,000 square foot building. He says it's going to have an aged, distressed look, as if it had been there a long time.
The unique complex across Russell Street from the Denny Sanford Premier Center will be much more than the Midwest's largest pawn shop. There will be a shooting range, a gold and silver foundry, and a live radio station.
The grand opening is planned for November 26th this year.
