27 Year Celebration for Grandpa’s Pawn and Gun By Kelly Fordyce Martindale
T
he Small Business Administration, along with tracktherecovery.org, estimated that 9.4 million small businesses closed down in 2020 because of COVID-19. How is it then, that Grandpa’s Pawn and Gun, an independently owned business, is celebrating their 27th Anniversary this month? • Great Service • Professional Staff • Huge Product Variety • Availability of Inventory These particular points make Grandpa’s customers come back, over and again. Their customers are made up of all ages, gender, race, religious and political beliefs. Several main issues unite these people: The Second Amendment, hunting, freedom, and love of country. Why is business so good? Perhaps it goes beyond the above points. Maybe some of it has to do with fear and the desire to protect one’s family. Did you know Conceal Carry permits doubled in 2020 over 2019. I think it’s fair to say, people are afraid. Rod Brandenburg (far right), owner of Grandpa’s Pawn and Gun says, “Nobody should have to live in fear.” He and his staff will help you know if you should purchase a firearm and what will work for you. They have resources for entry level shooting classes and conceal carry training, plus much more information that will help you stay safe and secure. Brandenburg’s staff are highly trained, experienced, and knowledgeable. Sara
Brandenburg (daughter/staff ) learned safety of gun handling in her preschool years. She is a professional markswoman and was sponsored by Cabela’s. Sara has hunted all over the world. Talk about Girl Power!
Brady Taipale and Chris Lewis (right) have worked at Grandpas since 2007 and bring decades of experience to Grandpas. Over the last 21 years, Grandpas has had only 19 employees. That is a good working environment. As a customer of Grandpa’s, I appreciate that I can visit the store and ask questions and receive truthful, reliable, and legal info. I’m never intimidated. Plus, I have confidence that every person who wants to purchase a firearm must apply to do so. Grandpa’s is one of Colorado’s highest volume gun dealers and they have
a great reputation with local and state authorities. They do it by the book. They carry new and used firearms and you can order something specific also. If you need to transfer a gun, they do that too! Grandpas has something for everyone. Their prices are spectacular on used jewelry including gold and silver. They have a large selection of musical instruments and collectibles, including coins. You can find clothing, fishing gear, bicycles, construction tools and equipment, all for affordable prices. The store is clean and the staff exceptionally friendly. You might find yourself browsing for an hour or more because of so much to look at. With Father’s Day coming up, you might want to check out their unique gift items. And if money is an issue, you can take advantage of low interest collateral loans. Grandpa’s Pawn and Gun is a store for every person in the family. Even the littles.
