POWDERSVILLE — The Peoples Bank is pleased to announce that its new branch in Powdersville will host a grand opening event on April 30, 2025.
Located at 216 Three Bridges Road in Powdersville, the new branch will feature a complete lineup of banking services. In turn, the loan production office (LPO) located at 1909 E. Main Street in Easley will close as its commercial banking team moves to the new Powdersville location.
“We are excited to officially move into a new region and extend our banking services to the people of Powdersville and surrounding communities,” said Coleman Kirven, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Peoples Bank. “The grand opening event on April 30 will allow us to connect with neighboring businesses, local dignitaries, media members, and others to spread the word about our new location. Once the bank opens to the public in May, we can’t wait for people to visit and have an opportunity to see what makes banking with The Peoples Bank a positive experience.”
The grand opening will take place Wednesday, April 30, 2025, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The Easley Chamber of Commerce will facilitate a ribbon cutting and press conference at 10:10 a.m., while guests may drop in any time during the four-hour window. Light bites and refreshments will be served.
