Cruchelow's in Marietta - Now out of business

1/20/19  Misc Info FYI:

This is one of at least half a dozen+ blogs that I have about Kennesaw and all of them are pretty much out of service as I have been gone from K for just over 3 yrs, after 15 years living there.  

So with the passage of time I have posted less and less.  The site 'may' now and then have another post but it is pretty much off my radar scope these days.  So take a look, you might find something of interest, I see that several folks come back repeatedly and are probably disappointed to find nothing new here.  Thanks for looking in -

Wonder where they ended up?  Maybe back to Texas or perhaps they are running some pawn shop operation in another state?

Anyway they are long gone from Kennesaw and Marietta and even the State of Ga has decided to Dissolve/revoke their registration.





6/28/16 Update:  

CRUCHELOW JEWELRY & LOAN, LLC, KENNESAW - MARIETTA

Old Kennesaw hands might recall that some years ago there was a big controversy about a Pawn Shop opening in a strip mall at Mack Dobbs and Cobb Pky.

This usage was barred from that strip mall but due to a Planning/Zoning error it slipped in anyway and this caused quite a big reaction from local residents.



FYI: Cruchelow departed for a new Pawn Shop in Marietta where they did virtually no business and the LLC was administratively dissolved 12/31/15 and the location at 1245 Bellemeade was taken over by Erik Dahlquist’s SLT Motors, LLC.  (Shown in Photo above).

Mall Owner Mr. Venturi takes major hit despite $14K award.

On or about June 13, 2012 the Kennesaw Pawn Shop location closed down. Units 1 & 2 were occupied by the shop, this is a double wide unit with 3,189 sq ft which rented for $14.50 pr sq ft yearly for $46,240 or $3,853 on a monthly basis. 

At this writing the units have been empty for 9 1/2 months with no sign of any interest by other stores for these 2 units or 2 other empty units in the Mack Dobbs strip mall.

The recent award of $14,000 in arbitration to property owner Venturi represented about 3 1/2 months of rental income. This arbitration award probably was enough to pay his lawyer Mr Sams. 


Clearly Mr. Venturi took a heavy hit in his pocket book which is just fine with area home owners, perhaps it will teach him a lesson about double crossing us by putting in a Pawn Shop when he well knew it was prohibited by his own stipulation years ago.

Last time I was by the relocated Cruchelow's pawn shop it was 3/30/13.
Dropped by today, they have on outside display baby strollers, lawn mowers and leaf blowers.

What they do not have is customers.
