Inver Grove Heights' new Pawn America scheduled it's grand opening for Aug. 18 but manager Randy Capouch and his staff have been plenty busy already. 

The 32,545-square-foot branch opened its doors for a "soft opening" on Aug. 16 and 17 and, according to Capouch, it was clear that Inver Grove residents are curious about the city's newest business. 

"We were open for only six hours yesterday and we beat five or six stores (in terms of profits) for the day. I would imagine we'll beat a handful of stores again today," Capouch told Patch at around midday on Friday. 

Patch got an opportunity to visit the new Pawn America with camera in hand. The above gallery is what we found.
