?Darren came in with a buddy to check out the store awhile back, and I could see his eyes light up as we talked about the business. When he said he was interested in learning more, we took him up on it,? said Seth Gold, manager of American Jewelry and Loan, in a news release Thursday.

Gold said the family is excited to make McCarty the latest addition to their staff.

"I?m learning from the Stevie Yzermans? of the pawn business," McCarty said in the news release. "I guess you could call my first few weeks training camp! What better opportunity to start something fresh and to help the people of Detroit, too??

The store is at 20450 Greenfield Rd., Detroit, MI 48235.
