Badlands update: Guns gone, Motor Speedway is 'buy now' or it goes on the auction block

If you wanted Chuck Brennan's rental machine guns, you're out of luck.

In a Wednesday website post, the owner of Dollar Loan Center and the Badlands entertainment complex in Sioux Falls gave an update on his progress on selling all his South Dakota assets.

Badlands building

Brennan is removing the Badlands branding and signage from the 60,000-square-foot building to prepare it for a new owner or tenant. He's currently selecting a team to list the property, currently priced at $9.45 million.

Badlands Motor Speedway

The former Huset's Speedway is for sale at $9.45 million in a "buy now" fashion, Brennan said. If it's not sold by June 13 at 5 p.m., one week later he'll auction off the property and all assets to a single buyer.

Badlands Gun Store

Brennan sold the entire inventory of the Badlands Gun Store, including its rental machine guns, to a "very appreciative" gun store owner in Florida, Brennan said. The full gun range remains intact.

KBAD 94.5

The radio station's signal was recently sold the radio's signal for $945,000 to Real Presence Radio a lay Catholic non-profit radio network. The former KBAD building and its land is in escrow, and "we plan to close on that property sometime in the next few weeks," Brennan said.

Other properties

Dollar Loan Center's corporate headquarters and the store on West 41st Street and South Hawthorne Avenue were sold to Black Hills Federal Credit Union. "We also sold our properties in Aberdeen," Brennan wrote.

Brennan didn't mention a Sioux Falls broadcaster's lawsuit against Badlands, claiming it breached a contract by announcing a deal to buy KZOY, Sunny Radio, before the deal was final. That's scheduled for a jury trial in May. Brennan is suing the broacaster, Cup O' Dirt, claiming it fraudently induced the company to purchase the radio station.

Badlands closed in 2017 after a ballot measure to cap interest rates at 36 percent passed in 2016, shutting down Dollar Loan Center, which funded Badlands and Brennan's other South Dakota ventures.
