South Tahoe Nugget
In 1965, Richard L. Chartrand (part owner of Barney's Club) built the South Tahoe Nugget on the former site of Kandy Jax bar, a mile up U.S.
Highway 50 from Barney's. Following Chartrand's death in 1968, his parents would take over Barney's and the South Tahoe Nugget.
It would later become John's Tahoe Nugget in the 1980s, owned by John Joseph Fults.
In the 1990s, the club became Ed's Tahoe Nugget. Owner Edward S. Ringle also owned the Stagecoach Hotel & Casino (and the adjacent EddieWorld gas station and market) along U.S. Highway 95 in Beatty, Nevada, as well as the Fantasy Girls strip club in Reno.
