Being a town supervisor isn't all meetings and emails. Sometimes, we get to do fun stuff too! Yesterday was one of those fun days. I attended the grand opening of Pawn America. Pawn America is located on Westhill Blvd, and occupies the area that used to house the Prime Quarter. This isn't a seedy looking pawn shop some may have perceived in their minds. Instead, this clean store is set up like many retail shops. It is split into different areas of jewelry, electronics, clothing and more. You can really find most anything, depending on the day. One of the most unique items I spotted was an accordian. It reminded me of my Aunt Marie. She's 90 and still cranks out a tune every now and then.
Pawn America also gives back to the community. They started the program Kids Feeding Kids. They fund and support the Boys and Girls by helping install kitchen facilities at the clubs. They also teach children about nutrition and being self-sufficient.
So, welcome Pawn American, ad thank you for helping create 16 jobs in Grand Chute.
