- "It

seems like only yesterday that we opened our doors in Palmetto,"

said Fairbanco branch manager Terry Bright. "Our official anniversary

date will be Nov. 15, but we will have specials and promotions running

all week."

Fairbanco,

better known as Fairburn Banking Company, opened its fourth location

a year ago in the Chevron convenience center on U.S. Highway 29.

The bank

is a full-service bank, complete with ATM and drive-through facilities.

Assistant

branch manager Gloria Senn said the location makes it convenient to

take care of banking business, gas up your car and pick up some grocery

items all in one stop.

President

Robert Fuller added his take on the new branch.

"We

are very pleased with our results in our first year in Palmetto. Our

new account and deposit growth has exceeded our expectations. We wish

to thank the Palmetto community for making our first year successful."
