SMU hosts ‘Lunch and Learn’ with Pawn America founder

Saint Mary’s is hosting Brad Rixmann, founder and Chief Manager of Pawn America for its next “Lunch and Learn” titled, “Growing a Business, Giving Back” at SMU’s Apple Valley Center.

The event is scheduled for noon to 1 p.m. The public is invited to discover how Rixmann turned a visit to a pawn shop into a thriving business. One of his challenges has been to overcome the pawnshop stereotype and convince people that it’s a family-oriented business that provides needed services to the community.

Bring your lunch or share a slice of pizza. All are welcome to this free event, but RSVPs are appreciated to Barb Hall at (612) 238-4517 or bhall@smumn.edu by Friday, April 1.
