Bank Opens New Office at 419 & Colonial Avenue |
| The
Grand Opening of HomeTown Bank’s new office at the intersection
of 419 and Colonial Avenue in Southwest Roanoke County begins
Thursday, April 12 with a three-day celebration of the bank’s
first suburban Roanoke office.

“Our excitement about our new location, drive up teller
and drive up ATM is magnified by the special offers we will
be sharing with new and current customers. Frankly, they’re
the best we’ve ever seen for consumer and business checking,”
said William S. Clark, Hometown Bank President and CEO.
“Perhaps the most unusual, if not unique consumer offer
is Free Checking PLUS Interest. We are having great fun with
our special interest yield of 4.19 % APY on that account for
all daily balances over $1,000 until November 1. Businesses
are also excited about trying our checking accounts with no
fees for monthly service or activity until October 1.”
“We think the turnout will be big as consumers realize
the value of this account which also lets the customer choose
a full gamut of electronic services when they sign up for
direct deposit. We’ll be offering them free access to
more bank ATMs than any other bank in the Valley. They can
use any other banks’ ATMs for cash or balance inquiry
3 times a month with NO foreign transaction fee and a refund,
upon request, of any convenience charge the other banks make
up to $2 per transaction,” Clark noted. The special
offers will be available at all Hometown Bank offices during
the Grand Opening celebration for the 419 & Colonial Office.
Ribbon Cutting
As has become HomeTown Bank’s custom, ribbon cutting
will be done by representatives of civic/charitable and educational
organizations. Each of their organizations will receive a
$500 voucher to fund the opening of a charitable checking
account at HomeTown Bank which currently pays from 1.00% to
2.50% APY. Participating in the 9 AM Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
on April 12 will be:

- Kim Williamson, Director of Development
of North Cross School
- Dorothy Runion, Executive Director,
Roanoke Wildlife Rescue
- Bobby Jones, Chief, Back Creek Fire
& Rescue

of Supervisors who will have brief remarks and participate
in the ribbon cutting. |

Grand Prizes
The bank is also offering a Grand Prize drawing at its
new 419 & Colonial location. The winner will get his/her
choice of a beautiful Roberto Coin diamond necklace from Fink’s,
a Randall-Allen all leather wing chair recliner from Grand Home
Furnishings, or a half day of business system consulting from
Entré Computer Center.
Open 65 Hours
a Week
“The convenience of the Southwest County banking
customer is important to us. To prove it, we will be offering
full service banking from 7 am to 7 pm weekdays, and 9-2 Saturdays,”
said Harper. “Many of the folks who live here have a daily
commute. We need to be there for them in the morning as they
head into work and in the evenings as they head home. Importantly,
we will have a mortgage lending specialist right at this office
to serve those who are buying a new home or planning to do so.” |
