Today, Dollar Loan Center opens its first location in California, at 2995 E. White Star Avenue in Anaheim. The store is one of four Dollar Loan Center plans to open in the next few weeks, with 20 scheduled throughout the state by the end of the year.

Dollar Loan Center, founded in 1998, is the largest provider of short term signature loans in Nevada with additional locations in Utah and South Dakota. “Our expansion to California is one we have been carefully planning and our flagship store in Anaheim is the perfect location,” said Dollar Loan Center CEO Chuck Brennan. “It is conveniently located near the Riverside Freeway and Kraemer Blvd in the heart of Anaheim.”

Store hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, closed Sunday. “And while our Anaheim store is fully staffed, we are hiring throughout the state,” said Brennan. Employment applications are being accepted via the company’s website at www.dontbebroke.com.

Dollar Loan Center 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 the largest provider of short term credit services in South Dakota and Nevada with 51 locations throughout the two states and Utah.  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 himself 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.
