Lexington-based Forcht (“fork”) Bank announced today that their 5th Lexington banking center will open for business on November 14, 2011. The new banking center is located at 3358 Tates Creek Road directly across from Lansdowne Shoppes. Forcht Bank currently has locations on New Circle Road North, Sir Barton Way, Beaumont Circle, and Southland Drive.
“We are very excited to be opening in the Tates Creek area. Many people in Lexington have said they would bank with us if we were more convenient to them – well now we are,” said Lexington Market President Bill Potter. “And while other banks are closing branches, we’re expanding. We believe that says something about the exceptional customer service we offer.”
Kristin Lynch will be the Tates Creek Banking Center Manager and a Grand Opening will be held from December 1-10.
