Area Bank To Open New Branch

March 8, 2009

A bank with an Atmore location will break ground next week on a new location in Brewton.

Gulf Winds Federal Credit Union will hold an official groundbreaking ceremony at 1 p.m. Tuesday in front of the Super Wal-Mart in Brewton.

Gulf Winds’ board of directors, management and area officials will attend the short groundbreaking ceremony. The new branch in Brewton is expected to open in late-2009.

The Brewton branch will be the tenth for Gulf Winds and the second in Alabama. Atmore was the first. The new branch will be a full-service financial institution complete with a drive through lane, drive-up night deposit, an ATM and numerous technology upgrades that save time and add convenience.

    When are they going to take applications or are they going to use existing employees to man the bank?? I only wonder like the other hundreds of unemployed in the area.
