Bayou Gold Opens in Central

By Mia Freneaux

    Bayou Gold, just opened last week, is part of a local chain of 7 stores.  Owned and operated by Brooke Barnett and Michael Montgomery, Bayou Gold buys all precious metals- gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, in whatever form they might come.

    Using state certified scales, they weigh your coins, jewelry, bullion, foreign coins or even scrap and pay cash on the spot based on that day’s gold rate.  Customer safety is their priority, so every Bayou Gold is equipped with security cameras and buzzer entry, along with private offices for transactions.  All of their purchases are reported to the local police department.  They work closely with law enforcement, and recently helped to recover $105,000 worth of stolen jewelry and return it to its rightful owner.  According to Brooke, “We are here to help the community.”  In addition, Bayou Gold does I Phone and I Pod touch repair in as little as 5 minutes.   Welcome to Central!
