In 1990 when he was just 21-years-old, Charles Brennan founded and successfully ran The Blitz Ballroom, one of the largest rock bars in the Midwest. Here, he capitalized on a larger-than-life personality to promote the club’s stage as a stomping ground for some of the nation’s most sought after rock bands. Soon after, Charles Brennan leaped head first into the music industry as a concert promoter.
After enjoying much success, a road-weary 28-year-old Charles Brennan left his hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for Las Vegas, Nevada, where he and financier Keith Bergh laid the foundation of the first Dollar Loan Center. Brennan promoted Dollar Loan Center relentlessly to consumers in Las Vegas, Nevada, as he had always done with his concerts. At the time, this was not an industry norm but considering the company now employs over 400 people at 80 locations, it was a marketing strategy that crushed the competition.
Today, Dollar Loan Center has grown far beyond its Las Vegas, Nevada, beginnings and offers what Charles Brennan describes as a customer driven product that provides a level of respect enjoyed by the financial elite.
Never happy to have only one business, Charles Brennan and his wife May opened Clark County Collection Services in 2001. The company offers its collection services to over 400 clients nationwide and has been named one of the fastest growing companies in America.
Charles Brennan lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his wife.
