PROJECT NARRATIVE 
“The Pawn Shop” Relocation Project 
 
Introduction: 
        My name is Neal A. Yukolis Owner/Operator of Sterling Holdings LLC (DBA, “The Pawn Shop”).  I 
own “The Pawn Shop” located at 6246 N. 43rd Ave in Glendale. This location has been open for business 
for more than 20 years in this location however, the strip center has recently been purchased by new 
ownership and I have elected to move my business elsewhere.  
Purpose:       
        I am looking to relocate my existing business “The Pawn Shop” currently at 6246 N 43rd Ave in 
Glendale AZ to a new location at 9250 N. 43rd Ave in the Olive Crossings Shopping Center. This proposed 
location is approximately 3 miles (6 minutes via 43rd Ave.) north of our current location making it an easy 
transition for my customers. We would like to obtain a conditional use permit for this new space as is 
required by Glendale City code. We intend to make no changes to our current business format 
(operating as a pawn shop). We also will not be making any external changes to the proposed site other 
than signage which we will submit to the city for approval prior to creation/installation after we have 
secured approval for our use. We will maintain the integrity of the shopping center aesthetic in 
accordance with all city and landlord requirements.
