Dollar Loan Center owners Chuck Brennan and Keith Bergh continued their efforts to help revitalize a Sioux Falls, South Dakota neighborhood this week with a $5,000 donation to the Pettigrew Heights Neighborhood Association. The company, which operates in four states, houses its corporate headquarters in the neighborhood.

“Our neighborhood association is excited to welcome One American Bank to Pettigrew Heights, and are grateful that this block is seeing so many wonderful upgrades,” said Sanderson.  “We are also very grateful to Dollar Loan Center for its significant investment for our neighborhood association’s future work,” he said, referencing the area’s future plans for a multi-unit dwelling.
