Dollar Loan Center opens its second California location this week. The company began its entrance into the state with a flagship store in Anaheim and is now operating in Huntington Beach at 6491 Edinger Avenue. The Huntington Beach store is one of 20 Dollar Loan Center plans to open in California by the end of the year.

“We are excited to be a part of California’s vibrant economy and look forward to becoming a part of each community in which we operate,” said Chuck Brennan, CEO of Dollar Loan Center. Brennan founded the company in 1998 and now owns stores in Nevada, South Dakota, Utah and California. “California was a natural expansion of our growing company and we look forward to continued success as we open new stores throughout the state.”

Dollar Loan Center’s Huntington Beach store is in the heart of town at the intersection of Edinger Avenue and Edwards Street. Store hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, closed Sunday. The store offers signature, or short-term, loans in the amount of $2,500 to California residents. “The application, as with all of Dollar Loan Center’s online applications, is an easy one-page online form,” said Brennan.

Dollar Loan Center is hiring employees throughout California, with applications being accepted online at www.dontbebroke.com. The company was recently named a “Best Place To Work” in Southern Nevada and takes great pride in creating a positive team atmosphere at each of its locations. “Dollar Loan Center is a great place to start or further your career in a fun and rewarding atmosphere,” said Brennan. “We place as much emphasis on our employees as we do on customer service, which makes for a great place to develop your career.”

Dollar Loan Center is the largest provider of short term credit services in South Dakota and Nevada with 53 locations throughout the two states, Utah and now California. The philanthropic stores support dozens of organizations including Las Vegas’ favorite charity, Opportunity Village, and Alice and Sheryl Cooper’s Solid Rock Foundation, among many others. Brennan is one of Nevada’s most recognized philanthropists, giving nearly $500,000 annually to charities across the country.

The company, which Entrepreneur Magazine listed among its “Hot 500 Fastest Growing Businesses and Entrepreneurs” in 2007, employs hundreds throughout Nevada, Utah and South Dakota.
