Thoughout my Army career, one thing has been prominent in surounding military communities- Military loan services and check cashing services. These companies have thrived on the military as a whole, with some retired military members actually buying and running one of these businesses near a military installation. These companies will continue to thrive as long as a Private can get a quick loan to buy that new stereo or rims for his car. As for this company, I have not seen it while driving to and from work, but I am sure it is out there and doing as well as the competition. I have counseled many Soldiers about staying away from these places, to no avail. I wish military personnel would not engage in these services. Since they do, I might as well benefit from it.

There is always people that are going to use and need these services. I personally think that long term FCFS is going to do great as I bought them for $9.27 because of two things 1st the stock buy back and 2nd with there Mexico stores. This is a will run company and another plus it's located in TEXAS!

Armydude, I believe the US government has put severe restrictions on interest that payday loan places can charge active military. Perhaps military types still use them, and perhaps some businesses can operate successfully at the rate allowed, but thought I would point it out.

Cheers, Doug
