SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Badlands Pawn, Gold
& Jewelry has named John Moss
and Stephen Rivera of Brass Junkie
Co. designers for its 50,000 square foot entertainment venue,
scheduled to open in Sioux Falls
on November 26. Moss and Rivera are
Huntington Beach-based artists that specialize in using vintage
reclaimed products to create hand-crafted industrial pieces and
interior design.
"John's unique artistry blends the grit of vintage motorcycles
and hot rods, reclaimed wood and his own unique style to create
some of the most striking designs in the country," said
Chuck Brennan, founder of Badlands
Pawn, Gold & Jewelry. "He is the perfect fit to bring our
vision for Badlands to life. Every guest who walks its doors will
not only have endless opportunities for entertainment, but will get
to enjoy John's captive eye and the Brass Junkie Co.'s unique
custom stylings." The company's work can be seen at the MGM, Vegas
Rock Casino, The Rock Wood Fired Pizza and Affliction stores
worldwide.
John Moss, dubbed the "Brass
Monkey," has been an artist and designer for nearly 20 years and
has worked with California's most
iconic destinations including Knott's Berry
Farm and Disneyland. He personally designs and installs
every custom finish and sculpture for clients around the
world.
Stephen Rivera, who has teamed
with Moss over the last few years on various projects, has been
designing and building for the same tenure. Together they have
formed a powerful bond and are co-creating a myriad of industrial
arts concepts for unique and famous brands worldwide. A visual
marketing resource who is responsible for hundreds of atypical
installations, Rivera is a viable addition to the company's
commercial, retail and industrial design teams. His co-creative
atypical work is seen in the famous red colored casings at the
LACMA Resnick Pavilion. "Rivera has the technical know-how, and the
means, to take a concept to the delivered phase," said
Brennan.
Badlands has also selected Action Target to design its indoor
gun range. Action Target is the global leader in the development of
shooting ranges and an industry leading business serving the needs
of law enforcement, military and commercial organizations.
"Action Target will help us create a state-of-the-art shooting
range that will be able to host weapons of all kinds...from
handguns to fully automatic style guns," said Brennan. The
multi-million dollar range will include 14 lanes, a VIP area,
viewing areas, gun classes, self-defense classes and other
instructional opportunities. "We are proud to provide local law
enforcement access to the facility at no charge. This is one of
many ways Badlands will give back to its community," said
Brennan.
Design and construction are underway for the $15 million Badlands, which is set to become one
of South Dakota's largest tourist
destinations in the heart of Sioux
Falls. Its in-house Badlands Radio Network has already named
"Metal Cowboy" Ron Keel DJ and bandleader for Badlands' house band.
Popular local DJ Crash has been named DJ and host of "The Morning
Crash." With an in-house tattoo shop, shooting range, foundry and
mint, and much more, Badlands will be the place to visit time and
time again.
Badlands Pawn, Gold & Jewelry will open Thanksgiving Day, 2015 and plans to be open from
9 am to 9 pm every day of the year.
